Exploring the Transformative Impact of Generative AI in Education w/ Pascal

In this episode, Pascal Vallet, a School Principal at the United Nations International School and a keynote speaker specializing in EdTech Innovations with Generative AI, joins us as we explore the impact of generative AI in education. In the session, Pascal shares his first interaction with Generative AI, specifically ChatGPT, its reception in schools, and how educators can incorporate the role of AI in education. Moreover, we explore why educators should familiarize themselves with AI rather than fearing losing their jobs to AI and the imperative for schools to guide AI's integration in alignment with educational values. Ultimately, Pascal shares the potential impact of  AI on humanity and operational processes in schools. Tune in for a more insightful conversation.
