Colin McCabe (GM, International, Lightspeed Systems) and Carson McMillan (CTO, Lightspeed Systems) lead a forward-looking session on how schools can adapt today to protect students and staff in an AI-driven world.You’ll learn how to anticipate and monitor AI-related risks such as misinformation, self-harm content, and unregulated chat tools. The session will also explore ways to improve transparency around how AI tools and algorithms are used across your learning environments, and how to build a scalable, transparent safeguarding framework that evolves alongside your devices and data.
