As part of our project, we host an international research seminar series. On 25th Feburary, we ran our first seminar on 'AI for inclusive education: perspectives on pedagogy development'. The seminar keynote was led by Dr Serdar Abaci (University of Ediburgh). During the keynote, Dr Abaci spoke about:

• Intersection of inclusive and digital pedagogy (before we talk about AI in education)
• Responsible use of AI in education and how this links to inclusion
• Framework(s) for AI literacy
• Project highlight: AI in Secondary Schools
  • Our approach to working with teachers
  • Our partnership with key stakeholders in Scottish education system
• Conclusion
  • Barriers to bring inclusive AI in education
  • Challenges AI itself may pose for inclusive education
  • Opportunities for using AI for more inclusive education

After the keynote presentation, members of the project team and Dr Abaci led a panel discussion on the questions and issues raised by Dr Abaci and audiance members.
