Beyond LLMs: the Advent of Gen-AI in Educational Paradigms

Generative AI is reshaping education in ways that reach far beyond text‑producing models. This session, led by Dr Ali Al-Sherbaz, academic director for digital skills, examines how emerging tools are transforming learning, teaching, and creative practice through adaptive, human‑centred, and data‑driven approaches.

You’ll explore how these systems personalise learning pathways, support educators in designing richer pedagogical experiences, and open new possibilities for creative exploration and skill development. The focus is on how AI can augment, not replace human judgment, helping learners build deeper understanding while giving teachers more space for meaningful, high‑impact work.
