About the webinar

Join Les Hopper, senior lead in product management at Pearson, as he explores where AI has moved in the last year and what that means in practice for schools, educators and learners. In this free webinar, Les will discuss:

• What is changing, where the opportunities and risks are, and what school leaders and educators should be thinking about now;
• How AI can support learning and assessment without replacing the thinking learners need to do;
• What responsible and ethical use looks like in an education context;
• The AI skills learners will need as the technology becomes more embedded in education and work; and
• Practical examples of how Pearson is exploring and applying AI, including our work on AI tutoring and AI-enabled learning and assessment.
