AISC 2024

The future of education and work is increasingly uncertain. The ongoing development of advanced artificial intelligence and related technologies looks increasingly unpredictable. The world that today’s students will enter into when they complete their schooling is unclear. AI technologies will almost certainly feature but how it is going to impact work, society and, by extension, education remains to be seen. Within this uncertain context, it is increasingly evident that the core skills for the age of AI are not purely technical. Education systems need to help students to develop a range of adaptive skills, such as self-regulated learning and some aspects of critical thinking. This session will draw on cutting edge research globally to describe and explain the critical human skills that education systems and teachers need to assist students to develop in order for them to thrive in the age of AI.

Expected Outcomes:
Attendees as this session can expect to:
-    Develop an understanding of current development in AI in education research
-    Explore the critical skills for education in age of AI
-    Develop an appreciation for why ‘AI literacy’ is insufficient for preparing students to learn and work in the age of AI
-    Develop a sense of the changes to education systems and pedagogies for incorporating adaptive skills and knowledge
