While countless conversations over the last year have focused on the impact of AI on the future of work, we must not overlook the profound impact on higher education for Gen Z and beyond. It is critical for higher education institutions to not only improve students’ understanding of AI but also ensure that AI benefits are shared equitably. In collaboration with America Needs You, our latest article explores how partnerships and investments can provide tactical solutions to the challenges faced by under-resourced schools and disadvantaged students, helping to narrow gaps both between and within institutions.

‘Innovative Perspectives’ brought the commencement of the Business Educators Conference (BEA) 2024 to a platform of robust discussions, sharing, key note speakers and the future of learning and teaching Business Innovation & Economics. Wilderness School is certainly at the forefront of that when it comes to authenticating the purpose of Economics and Business Innovation for Girls in Education in the 21st century. Keynote speakers presenting ‘Where we are?’ and ‘what the future holds?’ pulled no stops with Real Life Issues such as AI, AI in Education, AI in the Classrooms, AI Tools, policies, engaging our students and, more importantly, how to responsibly wade through the fast evolving ‘pool’ of AI. In addition to that, focus questions on contemporary economic issues such as measuring the erratic fluctuation of the business cycle (with government intervention) and impacts of quantitative tightening, innovation, as well as interest rates could be the means to a much stable end. Or not? The highlight certainly emphasised that the elasticity of academic patience is certainly a virtue, coupled with extensive knowledge and understanding of the AI Roadmap and its contribution to STEAM for years to come.

I am part of the 'International Working Group on the Futures of AI in University Education', which has developed the following survey on:  The Futures of Higher Education in the Age of AI https://lnkd.in/gf_ecTVT It contains 22 predictions for the year 2035. The survey is open to a wide range of participants, with a focus on those working in universities, educational services, education related organizations, and technology - and also students. It would be wonderful if YOU could complete the survey! It takes about 15 to 30 minutes to complete, depending on the detail of responses. Responses are confidential, with ethical approval by the University of Leeds. Survey link: https://lnkd.in/gf_ecTVT

✨ Just finished reading this great report on how UK MATs are embracing AI, along with key recommendations and a new MAT AI Guidance Framework. A few things resonated with me… 💡 Supporting teachers (and all stakeholders) with the skills to navigate AI’s opportunities and risks is crucial. And remembering, AI should enhance, not replace, the personal connections in teaching. 💡 The digital divide is real - if AI is to benefit all students, we need to address access issues head-on. 💡 Ethical implications, like data privacy and fairness, must stay front and centre as AI becomes more embedded in education. 🤩 It’s an exciting time for schools, but we need a solid approach to harness AI’s potential. I can’t wait to see where this leads as we support teachers and ensure all learners are included in this AI-driven future! 👀 🚀 #AI #AIinEducation #EdTech EDUCATE Ventures Research Dr Fiona Aubrey-Smith

It's crucial to approach AI's integration into higher education with both critical inquiry and openness to innovation. Banning the use of it is not going to work and so is thinking it's going to go away. Blindly accepting it is not a good approach either. I’m pleased to share "AI in Higher Education – Frameworks for Critical Inquiry and Innovation," a resource designed to guide institutions through this transformative process. This document presents ten frameworks that encourage thoughtful examination of AI’s impact on equity, accountability, financial sustainability, student success, and more. It offers practical guidance to help institutions leverage AI effectively while maintaining ethical standards and ensuring inclusivity. I hope this resource sparks meaningful conversations about the responsible and innovative use of AI in higher education. Link in the comment.
