In this keynote, Priten will discuss the role of artificial intelligence in reshaping science
education. As AI rapidly evolves and becomes integral to science and everyday life, science
classrooms face challenges and opportunities. Priten will explore how educators can foster AI
literacy and equip students with the critical thinking skills to navigate an AI world. He’ll address
the urgent need to integrate AI ethics into science curricula to prepare students to grapple with
complex moral dilemmas at the intersection of science and society.
Drawing from real examples, Priten will demonstrate how AI can enhance scientific inquiry, data
analysis, and problem-solving in our science classrooms. He’ll offer practical strategies for
adapting science curricula to incorporate AI concepts while emphasizing the irreplaceable
human elements of creativity, empathy, and collaboration. The talk will also address the fears
and misconceptions surrounding AI in education.
This keynote aims to empower science teachers with the knowledge and motivation to adapt
education for the AI era. The aim is for educators to leave with a renewed sense of purpose,
practical ideas for implementation, and the inspiration to shape a generation of scientifically
literate, ethically-minded innovators ready to thrive in an AI world.
