How are generative AI tools like ChatGPT transforming education? We hear horror stories of students using these tools to write entire essays and pass them off as their own. But, these education experts think there is potential for positive applications.


From making personalised learning widely accessible to providing feedback loops for students, Joshua Wöhle, co-founder and CEO of edtech startup Milestone, thinks GenAI has a place in the classroom.


But these experts also caution about maintaining human connection in classrooms (rather than replacing facetime with AI tutors) and teaching AI literacy. 


While the K-12 space (5-18 year olds) may need more careful oversight, they see huge potential for AI to help train skills such as communication, provide interactive learning, and ultimately revolutionise education.


Mindstone CEO Joshua Wöhle, Roots of Empathy founder Mary Gordon, and ApplyBoard co-founder and CEO Meti Basiri were in conversation with freelance technology journalist Alyssa Newcomb on Future Societies at Collision 2023.
