Every generation has had concerns about the next big thing, from the printing press to rock and roll, and now it’s AI’s turn. Some say it will end teaching as we know it. Maybe. Or maybe it just forces us to ask harder questions about what teaching is for, and what students really need from us in a digital world. In this keynote, Debra Gray MBE PFHEA, Principal and CEO of Hull College, doctoral researcher, and sector leader recognised with the Queen’s Anniversary Prize for Education, will cut through the hype, the fear, and the lazy headlines. Expect a fast, funny, and occasionally uncomfortable journey into what happens when machines can ‘know’ more than we do, and what that means for educators who still change lives every day.
