The Human Edge in the Age of AI

Session Summary:

AI is everywhere and education is feeling the impact. From lesson planning to marking, the tools are impressive, but the real question is: what can’t AI do? That is where the human edge comes in.

In this keynote, Olly Lewis will cut through the noise to show how schools can harness AI without losing sight of what really matters: empathy, creativity, connection, and the teacher’s role as a guide. Drawing on real school experience and global trends, Olly will explore how AI can reduce workload, open doors for inclusion, and free teachers to focus on what only humans can do.

This is a session about balance, impact, and vision. In the age of AI, it is not the technology that defines learning, it is us.
