Open Forum

Artificial Intelligence as information technology has the potential to accelerate the process of achieving better learning, education and training for all. It promises to reduce barriers to access, analyze learning patterns and optimize learning processes with a view to improve learning outcomes. On the other hand, the penetration of AI in education comes with concerns related to ethics, security and human rights. Therefore, the topic of the Open Forum will be “Future Education in the Era of Artificial Intelligence”. In this forum, keynote speakers will share ideas, academic researches or practices in AI-powered education.
