Together, Professor Hannah Fry and broadcaster Amol Rajan will explore how AI is transforming classrooms, from personalised learning and adaptive assessment to the ethical dilemmas surrounding data, creativity, and authenticity. How can schools, colleges, and universities harness these tools to deepen understanding and improve outcomes without losing the human connection at the heart of great teaching? What new skills will students need to flourish in an AI-powered economy, and how must curricula, leadership, and policy evolve in response?

Beyond education, Fry and Rajan will reflect on AI’s broader societal impact, on work, equity, and trust, asking what it will take to ensure technology serves people, not the other way around. Drawing on real-world examples, fresh research, and their trademark clarity and wit, this session offers a vital, balanced perspective for educators, policymakers, and edtech leaders navigating this fast-changing landscape. Expect a conversation that challenges assumptions, encourages critical reflection, and offers a nuanced understanding of the role of human intelligence in an age defined by machines.
