Main AI drivers in education

Join us for an insightful panel discussion on “Main AI Drivers in Education,” where leading experts, educators, and innovators from the European Digital Education Hub AI Squad will discuss how artificial intelligence is shaping the future of teaching and learning. This session focuses on the critical role of teacher training, public-private partnerships, and the active involvement of teachers in building AI-ready education systems.

As AI becomes increasingly embedded in classrooms, the success of its implementation depends on empowering educators with the right knowledge, tools, and confidence. The panel will discuss strategies for developing AI and data literacy among teachers and students, ensuring they can navigate, interpret, and use AI responsibly and effectively.

We will also examine how collaboration between the public and private sectors can accelerate innovation, support the creation of high-quality AI tools, and ensure equitable access to technology across different education systems. Panelists will highlight successful examples of teacher-centered initiatives, training programs, and partnerships that place educators at the heart of AI integration.

Attendees will gain valuable insights into the main technological and human drivers behind AI in education — from machine learning to ethical frameworks — and explore how to align innovation with pedagogy. Join this timely discussion to learn how we can build a future where AI strengthens teaching, empowers educators, and enhances learning for all.
