On the Ground: Episode 23--Celebrating the January 24th United Nations International Day of Education

Featuring: AI and Education: Human Agency in an Automated World

Under the theme "AI and education: Preserving human agency in a world of automation", the 2025 International Day of Education encourages reflections on the power of education to equip individuals and communities to navigate, understand and influence technological advancement.

As computer and AI-driven systems become more sophisticated, the boundaries between human intention and machine-driven action often blur, raising critical questions about how to preserve, redefine, and, ideally, elevate human agency in an age of technological acceleration.
