As generative AI continues to permeate the academic landscape, The University of Manchester is hosting a landmark international conference to address the dual nature of this technological shift. Hosted by the School of Environment, Education, and Development, this event moves beyond the technical mechanics of AI to explore its profound societal implications. The core focus is on whether AI will bridge the digital divide or inadvertently widen the gap for underrepresented groups. Attendees will engage in a series of keynote interviews, interactive workshops, and panel discussions designed to evaluate how AI tools can be designed through the lens of Equality, Diversity, and Inclusion (EDI).
The conference serves as a critical platform for educators, students, and policymakers to share evidence-based research on AI’s role in personalized learning and assessment design. By highlighting the voices of accessibility specialists and marginalized learners, the event aims to produce a set of practical strategies for institutional leaders. Participants will explore how to maintain academic integrity while leveraging AI for creative collaboration. The hybrid format ensures a global reach, connecting Manchester’s research community with international experts to shape the next generation of inclusive educational technologies. It is an essential gathering for anyone committed to ensuring that the future of higher education is both innovative and equitable.
