In an era where AI becomes increasingly powerful, what will safeguard our children from being replaced?

Event Summary

Hosted at BritCham Shanghai, education experts from The British International School Shanghai (BISS) will discuss their two-year study with Boston College, where students have shown a 20% increase in curiosity and a 21% rise in critical thinking — essential skills for the future.

This workshop focuses on:

✅ The core qualities most essential for children in the age of AI

✅ How to cultivate thinking abilities that AI cannot replicate

✅ How schools guide children to use AI in a rational and responsible manner

✅ How to avoid becoming overly reliant on AI and maintain the ability to think independently
