AAIE 59th Annual Global Leadership CONVERSATION

What will the world look like in 2050? How will human beings coexist with Intelligent Machines, empowered by AI solutions integrated into even more powerful quantum computers? What future jobs will remain where human beings will still hold added
value? What will our schools and top universities look like? Several scientific scenarios are still applicable today to this imminent future. However, the time to initiate the drafting of one scenario over the others is now. Rethinking the role of
Education and reshaping this fundamental pillar of our modern societies is part of this endeavor. AI does not only raise the question of “how” to teach; it also raises the questions of “what” and “why” to teach. In this conference, Dr. Delphine Le Serre will elaborate on the significance of this AI transition and how each decision-maker in the field of Education will play a major role in accompanying this unprecedented evolution of human societies.

This year, Microsoft’s work trends report revealed a startling figure:

66% of employers would rather hire a less experienced employee with AI skills over a more experienced one without them.

This is just one example of how the demand for skills, mindsets, and qualities is shifting drastically in a workplace where AI is everywhere.

What does this mean for our schools? For our leadership? For our students?

The most important technology ever invented is here. We must boldly shift.

In this keynote, hear an open letter from Top Gen Z voice, Hannah Grady Williams, a 26-year-old Native Digital who’s worked with 3000+ executives, and her army of student AI-turbocharged rebels who are demanding (and creating) a different future.

Conflict touches every school community -- whether an interpersonal spat between students or a larger clash spurred on by reactions to geopolitical strife and cultural tensions in the wider society. The global uptick in polarization means that now more than ever schools have to teach and model the skills of conflict transformation -- where individual dignity meets group dialogue. In this session, mediator, educator, and strategist Jason Craige Harris of Pollyanna, Inc., will share key insights and practices that will empower school-based professionals to reinforce the bonds of community.

Finding a foothold for learning for everyone in your community

Leaders need to have a deep understanding of AIs possible impacts on curriculum and school design. This requires experimenting beyond prompt generation and relying on the tech folks of school. Tricia and Kathleen will lead Heads through a series of experiments and exercises that will allow them to walk away with the ability to see the visionary next steps for their community and help articulate between pre ChatGPT world to what is rapidly changing learning design now.
