How AI is impacting education in the South East

Dr Chris Trace, head of digital learning at the University of Surrey, explained that AI was “here to stay, and it’s only getting better and faster”.

He said: “In the future world of work I see that AI will be an integral tool.

“You may not have your job replaced by AI, but you will likely have it replaced by somebody who can use AI.”

Dr Trace claimed that in the future a student’s progress could be tracked with the help of AI to know what they understood, and what they needed help with.

“I think the future really is bright for education and technology and its use, especially in the South East.”

Head teacher Mr Rogerson said he thought AI would “turn education on its head”.

AI could also help teach people in a “very individual and bespoke way” while making education more efficient, he explained.
