The AI in Education at Oxford University (AIEOU) interdisciplinary research hub is led by Dr Sara Ratner (Principal Investigator), Professor Rebecca Williams (Co-Investigator) and Professor Elizabeth Wonnacott (Co-Investigator). Our goal is to establish a dynamic community of practice that will challenge and positively shape the future of AI in education.
AIEOU aims to promote a research-informed, ethical, human-centered approach to AI in Education through collaboration and knowledge exchange. Working across the four pillars of design, regulation, implementation and impact, researchers at the University of Oxford will collaborate and convene with expert colleagues and key stakeholders from around the world to establish a shared research agenda. We seek to co-create a use case for AI in Education that represents best practice in quality teaching and learning.
AIEOU has established an initial network of collaborators including academics from across the University alongside academic peers, educators, learners, foundations, governments and industry stakeholders from around the world who are all committed to safely and responsibly leveraging the potential of AIED.
Together we support the diverse needs of the global educational landscape through collaboration and knowledge exchange.
