As the capabilities of AI continue to grow, the potential for disruption in all areas of the labor market is significant. According to a Goldman Sachs report, up to 18% of global jobs could be entirely replaced by AI, while many more could be complemented by AI-powered tools. What does this mean for our current and future students? The next chapter of education lies in empowering young learners to embrace and develop their uniquely human qualities – those unlikely to ever be replaced by technology. In this presentation, we will explore the evolution and future of generative AI in education, its capabilities and limitations, and the potential risks and opportunities it presents for learners, educators, and society as a whole.
