Plenary
Dean McCoubrey
Co-Founder
Humaine UK
"AI is everywhere. What’s your stance? For 15 years, we told ourselves social media was someone else’s problem. But, by the time we realised it was reshaping attention, identity, anxiety, and learning, it was already too late to regulate properly. It insidiously penetrated classrooms, homes and belief systems. AI is arriving faster than social media ever did. How will you react? Are you in - or are you out? Awake or asleep? Interested or indifferent? And what does that mean for your learners? Dean McCoubrey unpacks the reality that faces teachers and students in an AI age. "
