About the Conference

The rapid development of artificial intelligence (AI) has had a major impact in education. When ChatGPT was first launched in November 2022, it took the world by storm and disrupted the education industry. With more than 100 million users, ChatGPT has become a new tool for teaching and learning such as improving learner’s writing proficiency.

AI has the potential to address the challenges in education and innovate learning and teaching practices. Educators and learners should embrace AI as a technology to create personalised learning experiences.

The vision for AI in Education is where both machines and educators can work together to drive better outcomes for students. As learners will eventually use AI, it is important that they build understanding through exposure. So, how can AI drive innovation to transform education?

At the MCE Global Conference, we will explore:

How has education changed with introduction of AI?

Should we Embrace or Fight against AI?

Can AI replace teachers?

How can AI facilitate learning and teaching?

As part of the conference programme, participants can expect to experience MCE’s full suite of education solutions, which include print and digital learning content, and professional development programmes.
