Where can AI take education by 2030? Join Professor Tom Mitchell (Carnegie Mellon University) to explore AI, LLMs, and the future of learning.
Abstract
If AI is going to transform education, Professor Mitchell believes it will happen this decade. Two major trends are coming together:
- rapid progress in AI, especially Large Language Models like ChatGPT, and
- the rise of online education platforms, now used by millions and providing valuable training data for AI.
Professor Mitchell will explore the current landscape, where AI in education could go next, and share research from his group at Carnegie Mellon University.
Panel discussion
The lecture will be followed by a panel discussion on the future of education and AI.
Professor Mitchell will be joined by a panel of experts to explore the future of AI in education, chaired by Professor Kaska Porayska-Pomsta, Director of the UCL Knowledge Lab.
Panellists include:
- Matthew Pryor, founder of EdTech start-up Graffinity
- Professor Daniel Rothschild, Professor of Philosophy of Language at UCL
- Professor Ivana Drobnjak, Director of the Undergraduate Programme in Computer Science and Member of UNESCO Chair in AI
The event will conclude with a reception at UCL East Marshgate.
