Dr Rebecca Eynon, University of Oxford, ‘AI and Lifelong Learning: fragmentation and individualization'
Friday 8th Feb, 12-1.30pm, Outreach Building room B1.11-1
Abstract
The role of artificial intelligence for learning is again attracting attention in academic, policy and commercial fields. This intensification of focus is particularly interesting in discussions around Lifelong Learning, where Lifelong Learning is not only seen as a way to prepare society for an ‘AI future’ but a context where AI could be ‘harnessed’ to facilitate learning opportunities, process and outcomes. This talk will present findings from a mixed method study that explores the role of different actors in shaping the discourse and practice of the use of AI in Lifelong Learning; and highlights the social and educational implications of this fragmented landscape.
