In Focus: Executive Dean Presents is a series of major panel discussions that draws on ACU's expertise, leading thinkers and decision makers to tackle current and emerging issues for arts and education and how they will shape the future of Australia.

Human Flourishing in Times of AI
This event brings thought leaders together to address human flourishing and agency in times of AI. Recent transformations in AI-driven societies have raised new questions about the direction of human thinking, creativity, and emotions that will impact current and future generations in ways that are still uncertain. The panel of experts in AI will engage with key questions, dialogue, and debate about the risks and opportunities for education and Australian society in a world of automation. We offer a vision for reclaiming positive human flourishing and agency, critically navigating the complexity of AI toward a more just and equitable social world.    

Join us for a critical discussion on the risks and opportunities AI presents for human flourishing, education, and Australian society.

Our panelists include:

• Professor Larissa McLean Davies (Chair)
  Executive Dean, Faculty of Education and Arts
• Professor Kathy A. Mills
  Institute for Learning Sciences and Teacher Education
• Dr Luke Rowe
  Senior Lecturer and Researcher, National School of Education 
• Professor Daryl Higgins
  Director, Institute of Child Protection Studies
