Author, consultant and PhD candidate
Leon Furze, PhD is a best selling author and consultant with over fifteen years' experience in secondary and tertiary education. His PhD focused on the implications of Generative Artificial Intelligence for teachers.
Generative Artificial Intelligence (GenAI) has continued to disrupt many industries, including education. Since the release of ChatGPT in 2022, education providers have been coming to terms with increasingly capable, multimodal GenAI like ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini, and Copilot. This session explores the practical and ethical implications of GenAI in education, and how we might adjust our teaching and learning to remain valid in the face of the technology.
