Artificial intelligence will transform how students learn, teachers teach, and schools operate, concluded experts speaking at the latest LAE Thought Leadership Panel Event in November.

The event was hosted by Haakon Overli, co - founder and General Partner of Dawn Capital, at the fund ’ s offices in Soho. Haakon was joined by expert panellists Adrian Cox, Head of Thematic Research Deutsche Bank AG, Jonathon Simons, Head of Education Public First and Raymond Degiorgi, LAE ’ s Assistant Headteacher Research in Learning. The panel discussion was moderated by LAE Headteacher Alex Crossman.

“ The UK government believes education will be impacted by A.I. more than any other public service—more than health, more than welfare, more than defence, ” said Simons. The potential for A.I. was almost infinite: from personalised learning platforms allowing students to achieve content mastery at their own pace and in their own style; to applications enabling teachers to shed mundane tasks and instead focus on mentoring students; and wider school system platforms supporting admin tasks and providing performance - driven analysis of educational data to identify trends and areas for improvement.
