Speakers
At Jisc Sue Attewell co-leads on the National centre for AI in tertiary education. The centre plays a vital role in advancing AI capabilities within its member institutions through thought leadership, piloting AI products, and conducting sector-focused research. The centre also provides ethical guidance to promote responsible and inclusive AI adoption in the education sector.
With the potential to revolutionise education, AI offers exciting possibilities such as personalised learning experiences, intelligent tutoring systems, assisted assessment tools, and reducing academic workload. By leveraging AI technologies, education has the potential to become more accessible, efficient, and tailored to individual learner needs, fostering a transformative impact on the future of education.’
Andrew Cox is a senior lecturer at the Information School, University of Sheffield, and author of his independently researched report - ‘The Impact of AI, machine learning, automation and robotics on the information profession’ - published by CILIP in 2020. It called for a ‘joined-up and coherent response from information professionals, enabling us to maximise the benefits of AI, machine learning, automation and robotics for information users while mitigating the emerging risks.' He is convenor of the IFLA special interest group on AI and the chair elect of the ASIS&T SIG on AI.
