AI is unavoidable in 2026, but higher education is caught between plummeting public trust and fear of disruption. In institutions where original thought is rewarded, how do you embrace an AI driven world?
Martin Betts is the co-founder of HEDx, and has worked in the higher education sector for most of his life. He's not panicking. In fact, the opposite. Betts is a \"techno-optimist\". Universities have changed, and he believes they need a fundamentally updated model in order to transform our way of learning.
Instead of handing educational AI structures to big tech giants, Betts breaks down how universities can collaborate to lead the change from within.
