Securing AI in Education

Hey, I'm Dan, The AI Educator.

I know that we both care deeply about the state of education, amid the uncertainty of rapidly advancing AI. I work with leading schools and governments worldwide to help them strategise and build capability, and I have recently been recognised as a top voice on AI. While most teachers are aware of the influence of AI on education and student learning, many are unsure how to respond in practice. 

My mission is to amplify credible expert insight and give educators the clarity, confidence, and tools they need to teach effectively and prepare students.
