Panel: The impact of AI on trust strategies
AI has the potential to transform education, but it also feels like the wild west. How should trustees be thinking about the role of AI in their trust strategies? In this panel discussion, we will consider the possibilities as well as the required guardrails to ensure effective and ethical use of AI in trusts. We will also be joined by Rory and Matilda, two pupils from Epsom College and Chertsey High School. They’ll be sharing their experiences and thoughts on AI and its benefits to their learning.
