This podcast explores how artificial intelligence (AI) has grown over time and whether it can be used as a tool to support education, rather than as a replacement for human thinking. Professor Manolis Mavrikis talks about the role of technology in schools and the obstacles that can prevent further integration, like infrastructure, teacher workload and professional development. He discusses the potential of AI in particular, and the role of schools and educators in helping students understand how to use AI as a tool to aid learning. This includes awareness of its pitfalls – like concerns around privacy and biases – but also how to self-regulate and think critically about it.
