“ AI must declare itself and be watermarked as it were, in some way, so we know where it comes from. It cannot pretend to be real. That’s a big ask but it’s a very important one. It’s absolutely essential because as things get better and better, it will be even harder to determine fakery.” SIR STEPHEN FRY


quality result, better technology and more progressive solutions. When we talk of developing a human approach to AI, that has to mean all manner of humans. Not just a narrow set who can’t admit the things that they don’t know. It has to be inclusive.” Fry went on to share some


more positive outcomes for AI. He referenced the potential of AI to help support children and young people struggling with mental health issues and self harm who may feel a lot more comfortable using alternative AI- driven support tools. While he noted that AI is not


immune from contamination, he reinforced the idea that we can all help shape it. “Ultimately, there is a sweet spot. It’s very easy to go down the road of pessimism and say look at the history of the internet, social media, and of capitalism generally and look at how people are controlled, how individual voices are silenced and how dangerous and dreadful it can be. Or, you can be so rosy and say look at what this will solve, and look at what this will give us, it’s absolutely perfect. The fact is,

there is a sweet spot that sits right in-between,” added Fry. Later in the keynote, Imafidon mentioned the importance of life-long learning. “We still put so much pressure on teachers and that everything must be learnt purely from the education system.” Imafidon discussed the need


for equitable curriculum reform to prepare students for the future and the need for more diverse female and non-binary representation to encourage students into STEM subjects and careers. “Across the 14 role models in STEM subjects, only one of them is a woman on the science curriculum at GCSE,” she added. Imafidon also noted the value of


STEAM and a more collective and collaborative way of working across different disciplines. “We still seem to push students


down one pathway or the other but if we had more scientists and technologists engaging with the arts, we’d better understand that there is more than one answer. That there is more than one way to do things. The stayability and stickability of solutions that we build would be a lot better too.”


UNLOCKING CREATIVITY Illustrating the power of combining tech and the arts, Carly Daff, head of teams & education at Canva, gave a talk on using AI to unleash creativity in the classroom. “The skills that mattered


yesterday aren’t necessarily the ones that will matter tomorrow. Understanding core concepts is crucial, but the real differentiator will be how students learn to think critically, solve problems creatively and collaborate effectively. When we provide tools that empower them to express their understanding in innovative ways, their own creativity and ideas thrive. It’s not just about helping them to learn, we’re coaching them for their future.” Daff shared how AI is being


used to transform the classroom and encourage creativity, turning students into inventors, storytellers and problem solvers. She added that AI tools can not only help them find their voices but turn memorisation into true comprehension and application through more immersive and interactive learning. She described how AI tools such
