On the final day, the Knowledge Summit 2024 highlighted a set of topics related to artificial intelligence (AI)

strategies, the latest innovation tools in the education sector, and the skills needed by future generations.

The session, ‘Using Generative AI to Strengthen and Speed Learning’, presented by Prof. Barbara Oakley,

Professor of Engineering, at Oakland University, discussed the revolutionary potential of generative AI in the
education sector. During the session, she reviewed the methods through which large language models, such
as Chat GPT, can radically transform the way educational content is delivered. She also explained the

capability of these models to customize content suiting the needs of each learner, which contributes to raising
the comprehension and interaction level in classrooms. Prof. Oakley emphasized the practical applications of
AI tools in developing teaching methods, such as creating interactive virtual lessons and designing exercises

tailored to individual student differences. She also highlighted the importance of harnessing AI to facilitate
access to educational resources, making them widely available at a lower cost.
