LSE: Public lectures and events

Fixing education for the AI age


Listen Later

Contributor(s): Conrad Wolfram | The recent prominence of AI has exposed major deficiencies in education. Not only how much improvement can be made in the pedagogical process with modern technology, but also how the subject-matter has diverged from what's needed in the real world.
Maths education has been at the epicentre of this mismatch: required of all, seen as central to the future, yet without reformation for the technology revolution that has elevated it to such importance in society. Conrad Wolfram will explain what the problem is, how we fix it and his group's pioneering work to rebuild the curriculum to achieve "computational literacy for all". He will go further: explaining how failures in maths education should forewarn us of actions needed across the curriculum as we enter the AI age, and technology transforms our world.Featured image (used in source code with watermark added): Photo by MART PRODUCTION via Pexels: https://www.pexels.com/photo/a-person-with-curly-hair-using-vr-headset-8471958/
