Artificial Intelligence and Education. A Critical Studies Perspective

Wayne Holmes, Professor of Critical Studies of Artificial Intelligence and Education. University College London

AI is often hailed as a ‘solution’ to education’s core problems. However, such claims are rarely grounded in evidence. This talk will explore AI and education from a critical studies perspective – its ethical, human rights, and social justice implications. It will challenge many of the key myths, explore the untruths of generative AI, and pose more questions about AI and education than it answers.
