SAVE THE DATE - Dublin, Ireland – 4th October 2024 - Griffith College’s Business and Innovation Hub is hosting a series of public events centred on AI, what it is, what it means and the future. Griffith College is looking forward to hosting the final instalment of the AI4VET4AI event series, a cutting-edge European-funded research project dedicated to establishing a transnational platform for AI in education and training excellence. This concluding event focuses on policy and brings together some of the influential voices in AI to discuss the future landscape of AI policy in Europe. Michael-Philippe Bosonnet, Research and Innovation Director at the Hub, said: “We are excited to host the final instalment of the AI4VET4AI series. As artificial intelligence continues to reshape industries across Europe, the need for robust and forward-thinking policies has never been greater. This concluding event brings together some very influential voices in AI and education in Ireland and the EU to discuss the future landscape of AI policy in Europe.”
About the Project - Why This Event Matters
The AI4VET4AI Erasmus+ research project covers 11 European countries and has over 26 HEIs, secondary schools, FET providers and corporate businesses involved. As artificial intelligence continues to reshape industries across Europe through the AI Act, the need for robust and forward-thinking policies has never been greater.
Our research has indicated that 52% of European educators believe that artificial intelligence will have a transformative impact on education and training within the next five years, while 40% of educators surveyed reported using AI-powered tools for personalised learning experiences in their classrooms.
The project has previously explored critical AI areas such as higher education, human resources, and diversity. This final event covers the policy and risk dimension, offering a unique platform to discuss the regulatory frameworks that will guide the integration of AI into Education systems across Europe.
