AI in education: why we are stuck in the starting blocks and how to get out

Current Government policy priorities – on anything from vocational education reform, to recruiting more teachers, to halving the attainment gap – are all for naught without an appreciation of how AI changes the fundamentals of education. Education serves a wide range of purposes – it makes us human; it builds new generations of citizens; it teaches values and behaviours and creates and sustains society. We cannot arrest the rise of AI, but we can refocus our schools on human flourishing: developing uniquely human attributes which will maximise the opportunity of our young people to use AI well rather than to become overly dependent on or infantilised by it.

We spend a third of our lives asleep – yet when life gets demanding, sleep is still the first thing we sacrifice. What if that is precisely when we need it the most? Els joins us to explain how sleep quietly shapes the way we think, make decisions, manage our emotions, relate to other people and lead, and why understanding it could transform the way we work and live.

Hard Truth shows us that there is hope. It is a fight that can still be won.
