Welcome to another inspiring episode of the Dr Ayaz Safi Podcast!
In this episode, I am honoured to be joined by Professor Tony Myers from Birmingham Newman University — a leading expert at the intersection of data analysis, artificial intelligence (AI), and education. Professor Myers shares his profound insights into how AI can be harnessed to bridge the educational attainment gap and create more equitable opportunities for all students, regardless of background.
We delve into important questions, such as:
• How can AI be a genuine force for educational equity?
• What misconceptions exist about the role of AI in education?
• How can schools and universities begin using AI responsibly and ethically?
• What surprising benefits and challenges arise when introducing AI to disadvantaged students?
• How can AI support not just academic achievement, but emotional and social development too?
Professor Myers also reflects on his personal journey, how his background in sports science shaped his perspective, and shares touching stories about the students who left a lasting impression on him — including some very personal memories of our own connection!
If you're passionate about education, technology, or social justice, this is an episode you won't want to miss.
