When AI Becomes Infrastructure: Preparing for the Quantum Classroom
26/07/2025 20:00 UTC
AI is no longer a tool but core infrastructure in education. As quantum computing quietly enters schools via vendors, leaders face a data-rich, high-risk environment. Ethics, compliance, and vendor oversight must evolve to meet this new reality. This session explores how converging technologies, from AI to quantum and spatial computing, are reshaping EdTech, and what schools must do to stay ahead safely.
Key takeaways:
AI is infrastructure, not innovation theater. Schools must treat AI as a foundational system requiring long-term strategy, not a temporary add-on.
Quantum computing and spatial tech are entering through the vendor door. Without governance, this convergence creates data, compliance, and security risks.
Ethics and compliance frameworks must evolve. School leaders need new tools and partnerships to manage these technologies responsibly.
