AI in Education: Enhancing Outcomes and Efficiency

During this presentation we explore how artificial intelligence is transforming education today and shaping its future. Framed around OpenAI’s five-level AI maturity model—from simple chatbots to autonomous organizations—the presentation guides educators and decision-makers through the progressive integration of AI tools in teaching, learning, and administration.

Highlights real-world applications including personalized learning paths, data-driven insights for educators, and streamlined administrative support. He emphasizes the importance of ethical AI use through principles of privacy, transparency, and bias mitigation, and introduces practical tools such as prompt engineering and the CREATE model to help educators interact more effectively with AI systems.

Looking ahead, the presentation outlines three possible future scenarios for AI in the public education sector—ranging from fully integrated and ethically balanced systems to the risks of overregulation and innovation decline.
