Going beyond the current hype, discussions will revolve both around theory and practice in this field, but also ethical and responsible use of AI in education.
This event will be particularly useful for those interested in the intersection of AI and education, and insights into research, innovation and practice in AIED.
This year the UCL Knowledge Lab celebrates its 20-year anniversary. The Lab, based at Emerald Street in High Holborn, London, and hosted by UCL IOE is widely acknowledged as one of the world’s leading research centres in human learning, media and technology. It was established in 2004 as the London Knowledge Lab, a collaboration of educators from the Institute of Education and computer scientists from Birkbeck, initially funded by the UK Government Science Research Investment Fund. Now at UCL, our legacy is based around two decades of interdisciplinary research funded by UKRI, ESRC, EPSRC, AHRC, Leverhulme, EU among others, generating books, articles and policy papers.
To celebrate its 20 year anniversary's the UCL Knowledge Lab are holding a series of events.
