Is education ready for the AI revolution? In this interview, educational technology expert Pablo Langa, founder and CEO of EDT Partners, introduces us to the changes already underway in classrooms worldwide and those still to come.
Langa dissects the three main fronts where AI is revolutionising education: from the optimisation of administrative tasks (the tedious “back office” work that consumes so much of teachers’ time) to personalising learning through artificial tutors. The third dimension takes the conversation to its most thought-provoking point: what if AI could completely transform the way we teach and learn?
The expert candidly addresses the question of equity: are we developing technology for the privileged 20% or the 80% who need it most? The answer is complex, yet there is reason for hope, with advancements like lighter AI models that can function without internet connectivity.
In closing, Langa poses a challenge: to turn the sector’s current passing grade into an outstanding one. A crucial step toward achieving this lies in moving beyond the simplistic view of educational technology as mere school equipment and starting to demand concrete evidence of pedagogical impact.
