AI + Education is a multi-layered topic. In this session, we will explore the various ways AI is influencing and transforming both how we educate and what we teach.

We will begin with an overview of the different dimensions of this complex field and look at it from different perspectives:

- The research perspective – focusing on the foundational educational research surrounding the use of AI in schools and universities.

- The development perspective– focusing on the development of AI tools for education.

- The ETH Zurich perspective– presenting how the university is building Ethel, an open-source platform designed to support both lecturers and students.

- The AI Challenge – a project that encourages teenagers in exploring AI through a creative, hands-on project.

The session will conclude with a panel discussion focusing on the role of the ETH AI Center within this dynamic and evolving landscape and how it can contribute to an AI ready education in Switzerland.
