The AI conversation in education has matured. We saw it coming, we experienced it, and now we’ve learned. 

Just as how AI & the Future of Education (AIFE) has grown together with our educators who attended, speakers who presented, and insights that have been shared since its inception in November 2024. 

Two years ago, educators were asking:

• What is ChatGPT?
• Which AI tools should I try?
• How do I stop students from cheating?

Today, school leaders are wrestling with much bigger questions:

• How should assessment evolve?
• What new literacies must students develop?
• How do we implement AI responsibly?
• What role should human expertise play in an AI-enabled world?
• How do we prepare students for jobs that don’t yet exist?

And because of that, we see a shift. A shift on how to work with AI, how to use it to not to replace educators, but as a way to enhance teaching and learning. 

We are now witnessing an era where AI needs to be part of the education ecosystem, and we are slowly embracing it into assisting us to amplify the power of education – challenging educators to rethink:

• Academic integrity
• Assessment redesign
• AI governance
• Data privacy
• Staff readiness
• Parent expectations
• Future-ready learning

Now, the challenge for educators is no longer understanding AI.

The challenge is understanding what education should become, and how to reach the end goal by enabling and incorporating AI into the daily operations of a school.

And no school can answer these questions alone. That is why we welcome you to join us in exploring the very edge of  AI and the future of education, this 31 October to 1 November,  back to Bangkok, the city where it first started.
