AI & Education Meet-up | London Edtech Week
Hosted by Education Futures × The London Interdisciplinary School
What does it really mean to learn in the age of AI? How do we rethink education when knowledge is instantly available and intelligence is increasingly distributed?
Join us for an evening of conversation at the intersection of technology, learning, and human potential, brought to you by the think tank Education Futures and The London Interdisciplinary School (LIS), one of the UK's most forward-thinking higher education institutions.
We'll be hosted at LIS's home in London for a night of cross-disciplinary dialogue and open discussion with practitioners, researchers, and thinkers reimagining what education can be.
