Synopsis
There is no doubt that Artificial Intelligence (AI) is the latest topic to create headlines. Is this the threat to education that some believe it is, or is it just a tool that allows us to work more efficiently and productively? In this talk, I'd like to take you on a journey of exploration to find out how AI is really defined and, more importantly, how we can use it within education, both from a student and educator perspective.
