AI and the Future of Adult Education and VET Monday, November 6 2023, 11:00 (CET)

Description: The transformative power of Artificial Intelligence (AI) spans across different sectors, including education.

Since increasing our knowledge and understanding of emerging technologies such as Artificial Intelligence (AI) and its ethical educational deployment becomes more and more important, experts and researchers will share insights and results (in relation to the AIPioneers project) regarding the issues of capacity, both systemic and institutional, through working with teachers and trainers, educational planners, stakeholders, and policy makers in Adult Education and VET.
