AI in education: from policy to practice

Education track

Two conversations usually happen in separate rooms: what teachers actually do with AI on Monday morning, and what boards and policymakers decide about it. This track puts both in the programme, side by side, across primary, secondary, vocational, higher professional and university education.

About the track

The classroom and the boardroom, in one track.

This track is aimed at primary, secondary, vocational, higher professional and university education, plus the governance, policy, research and education professionals around them.

The programme runs in two strands. One is practical: concrete classroom examples from people who have tried them. The other is policy and organisation: governance, privacy, security, ethics, equal opportunity, AI literacy and professionalisation.

Fourteen speakers across two parallel rooms, 30 minutes per session, in aiGrunn's 3-2-2 structure. Education professionals, school leaders, board members, researchers, policymakers and providers with real experience — no pure sales pitches.
