The event will feature keynote presentations on the technical, ethical, and educational issues arising from the introduction of AI in schools, followed by three panel discussions on topics such as teaching and learning using AI and edutech, the role of teachers, AI's role in inclusive public education, and concerns and expectations regarding AI and edutech-based classes. A comprehensive discussion will conclude the symposium.
