On 24 June 2025, The DaVinci House came alive with vibrant conversation and intellectual energy as we hosted a thought-provoking Curiosita session. Themed “The Role of Artificial Intelligence in Higher Education: Approaching 2050,” the event drew Master’s students, high school learners, and professionals from various sectors into a powerful shared dialogue.
Diverse Voices, Shared Curiosity
The session was enriched by the presence of sharp minds from engineering, business, and other industries. This diverse mix created a dynamic environment where theoretical insights met practical applications, allowing for a well-rounded exploration of the future of education in an AI-driven world.
Opening Reflections from Dr Amaleya Goneos-Malka
Leading the conversation was Dr Amaleya Goneos-Malka, CEO of A-P Management Consultancy. She opened the session with a compelling observation:
“AI is not just knocking on the doors of higher education, it is already inside, moving furniture.”
Her words set the tone for a bold and honest exploration of what lies ahead for academic institutions as they adapt to technological shifts.
Key Themes and Discussions
The afternoon’s dialogue touched on a range of themes, including:
- The potential for AI to personalise learning and support student progress
- The need for critical thinking in an age of automation
- The ethical questions surrounding algorithmic bias and data use
- The role of educators in nurturing emotional intelligence alongside technical skills
Attendees emphasised that while AI can enhance learning, it must be used with care, ensuring that human connection, creativity, and empathy remain central to the educational experience.
Shaping, Not Reacting to, the Future
One of the key takeaways from the session was the importance of intentional design. Rather than reacting passively to technological change, participants encouraged higher education institutions to proactively shape how AI is integrated, always with learners’ well-being and development in mind.
Looking Ahead: Education In 2050
We extend our heartfelt thanks to everyone who joined this important conversation. Curiosita remains a platform for intergenerational thinking, where bold ideas are not only welcomed but needed. Together, we continue to imagine a future where innovation and humanity walk side by side in the pursuit of knowledge.
