Prime Minister Keir Starmer’s speech today on the UK government’s AI Opportunities Action Plan set a bold course to position Britain as a global leader in AI. At CENTURY Tech, we’re proud to be leveraging AI to deliver personalised learning, empower teachers and improve educational outcomes worldwide. The government’s focus on AI Growth Zones, sustainable energy solutions, and increased computational capacity will unlock immense potential across sectors, including education. By investing in AI, we can equip teachers with the tools they need to personalise learning, reduce workloads and allow them to focus more on what they do best: teaching. Our partnership with Steve Rotheram, Mayor of the Liverpool City Region to deliver a groundbreaking pilot programme exemplifies this vision in action; since September, students across the city have answered over 1.2 million questions on the CENTURY platform. AI is enabling all children in Liverpool to access a top-tier education and empowering teachers with actionable intervention data.

I'll be doing something pretty funky this year with my LinkedIn posts, I'll be walking you through everything CENTURY has to offer – one letter at a time. This series will explore how CENTURY supports teachers, students, and schools in ways you might not expect. So let's get started... A is for AI. At CENTURY, we harness cutting-edge Artificial Intelligence to personalise education for every student. Our AI analyses individual learning behaviours, identifying strengths and gaps in knowledge, and then recommends tailored learning activities to address each student's unique needs. This not only enhances the learning experience but also empowers teachers by automating tasks like marking, planning, and data gathering, allowing them to focus on building meaningful relationships with their students. In a recent webinar, "The Brain and AI: Under the Hood and Beyond the Hype", our team delved into the intricate connections between neuroscience and AI. We explored how artificial neural networks are inspired by the brain's complex structure, with over 100 billion neurons and trillions of synapses. We know that while AI offers transformative opportunities, education remains inherently human - a balance of intelligence, empathy, and creativity that no algorithm can replicate!

Welcome to this week’s Interesting Reads Weekly Roundup! 🌟 I’m delighted to share the latest recommendations curated by the CENTURY Tech team, exploring AI, education, and public policy. My highlights include Prime Minister Sir Keir Starmer’s AI Opportunities Action Plan and a fascinating study on the impact of human-like AI tutors. Here’s a quick preview of what’s in store: 💡 AI Opportunities Action Plan: PM Keir Starmer’s £14bn AI strategy aims to transform UK public services and fuel growth. While promising, questions remain about costs and big tech reliance. 📊 Data-Driven Leadership in Schools: A Florida study shows benchmark assessments outperform standardised tests in boosting student outcomes, supported by strong leadership and collaborative cultures. 🏫 Special Educational Needs in Crisis: The UK SEN system struggles with rising demand, delays, and funding deficits, risking poor outcomes and insolvency. Urgent reform is needed to address geographical disparities and unmet needs. 🤖 AI Tutors in Education: Research highlights how human-like AI tutors can enhance enjoyment but may hinder performance if poorly designed. Striking the right balance is key. Discover the full articles alongside summaries from the team here: https://lnkd.in/e89FubW5 #AI #UKPolicy #Education #EdTech
