AI2030 – Keynote by Michael Webb
Artificial Intelligence (AI) is already having a significant impact on education, and there is much more to come. What will it look like in 2030? Understandably, much attention has been devoted to the immediate challenges and opportunities of AI. However, in this session, we’ll look a little further ahead. Will we have prepared our students for an AI-enabled workplace, used AI wisely to enhance human interaction and creativity, or found ourselves struggling to manage the vast quantities of AI-generated material, processes, and misinformation? We will examine some of the key areas for consideration and the actions we should be taking to ensure we meet these challenges and maximise the opportunities presented.

A strategic approach to generative AI for IT and digital leaders
June 24
A UCISA/Jisc webinar
This session will provide an opportunity to explore the challenges and opportunities of Generative AI. AI is already having a significant impact on education and research, especially around assessment and curriculum. We also seen the early signs of benefits around efficiently and personal productivity in many areas. There is much interest and discussion around tools such as Microsoft Copilot 365, but concerns about cost and effectiveness. Providing a strategic institutional response and approach is a challenge, particularly because of the pace of change, but also critically important, both to manage the risks, for example around data security and intellectual property rights, and to ensure we are maximising the benefits. In this session we will explore these issues and discuss paths forwards.
