How do we prepare for the changing world of AI? James Browning, COO at Lift Schools, encourages us to think of artificial intelligence as a collaborator for tackling real world problems, not just tools and fancy tech. We reflect on his organisation’s journey so far, the potential positives of AI, and protecting what matters.
- Can AI help personalise learning? Reduce workload? Support high quality thinking?
- How do we ensure AI doesn’t exacerbate educational inequality?
- How can the Three Horizons framework support your planning?
- How is AI saving time for staff? What do pupils need to know about AI?
- What do we do about the environmental impact of AI?
- What are your organisational guardrails? AI in a supporting role, not replacing teachers.
‘What really excites me about AI is it feels like genuinely now for the first time, we have a technology that can make a difference… And I think there is a risk that if we get it wrong, we could create a bigger divide and a bigger disadvantage gap.’
James Browning is Chief Operating Officer at Lift Schools, a Chair of Governors, and has previously worked in edtech roles. He’s on the DfE’s estates strategy group and digital standards working group.
