Making room for AI - Bringing the cybernetic classmate into our schools

Our current education system is struggling to meet the demands of the 21st century. Attendance is in decline, mental health concerns are on the rise, and a 'New Grad Gap' calls into question the effectiveness of a university education. But what if the very technology some fear – Artificial Intelligence – is the catalyst we desperately need for profound change?

In his keynote, 'Making room for AI,' Darren Coxon, Co-Founder of Kompass Education, argues that it's time to move beyond outdated models and fear-based bans. He presents a compelling vision for integrating AI as a 'Cybernetic Classmate' and fundamentally rebuilding our approach with 'Curriculum X' – a framework designed to develop essential future-focused skills like human-AI collaboration, ethical reasoning, and creative problem-solving.
