Report on Education International’s Global Conference on Artificial Intelligence

Education International brought together more than 200 union leaders, educators and experts from every region for its first Global Conference on Artificial Intelligence “Shaping our Future: Education Unions Leading for a Human-Centred AI”, moderated by Phil McRae (ATA/CTF‑FCE), held in Brussels on 4–5 December. In addition to the on-site participation, around 200 participants followed the conference remotely. Over these two days, participants examined how artificial intelligence (AI) is reshaping education and work, and how unions can ensure that these tools strengthen, rather than undermine, the teaching profession as well as public education and democracy.
