DOHA: The World Innovation Summit for Education (WISE), a global platform for innovation in education established by the Qatar Foundation, began on November 28, Tuesday at the Qatar National Convention Centre (QNCC).
WISE11, the summit’s 11th edition in 2023 will delve into the theme ‘Creative fluency: Human flourishing in the age of Artificial Intelligence (AI).’
The theme explores the intricate connection between humans and the evolving AI landscape and envisions a future where AI supports rather than competes with human potential.
The summit will encourage the WISE community to explore topics like computational literacy, personalised learning, AI-integrated teaching approaches, and equity issues in emerging educational technologies worldwide.
Firyal al Balushi, a medical professional from Oman, was part of the Learners Voice Programme (LVP) of World Innovation Summit in 2012-2013. She started an online website ‘OmanMD, Your Online Omani Doctor’ that provides information about common diseases in Oman with a special focus on genetic disorders.
For the 2023 WISE Awards Winners, six projects from five different countries have been selected for their innovative approach to pressing education issues and positive social impact. This year, 404 projects applied or were nominated for the WISE Awards.
Stavros N Yiannouka, CEO of WISE, says: “WISE11 is a dedicated space where the intersection of human creativity and Artificial Intelligence will be thoroughly examined. We are bringing together leading experts, educators, and innovators from around the world to work hand-in-hand, ensuring that our approach to AI in education centres on the betterment of human lives. The summit is pleased to bring together globally renowned figures and distinct entities to deeply examine the interconnection of AI and learning ecosystems.”
The WISE11 summit will address pivotal topics, including scaling for equity and access, envisioning the classrooms of the future, aligning higher education with an AI-driven job market, building ethical AI systems, and preserving AI and digital sovereignty.
Participants will have the opportunity to hear about the possibilities and challenges of AI integration in education from distinguished voices in industry, academia, and government.
This includes Sayasat Nurbek, Minister of Science and Higher Education of the Republic of Kazakhstan; Luis Benveniste, Global Director of Education at The World Bank; and Conrad Wolfram, European co-founder/CEO of The Wolfram Group among others.
WISE11 will also engage with notable educators who will add a diversity of perspectives to understand the impact of AI on learning ecosystems. Around 1,200 delegates attending, with up to 2,200 participants are expected to attend the two-day meeting.
