Webinar: Beyond the Hype: Agentic AI and the Future of Human-Centred Learning
31 July 2025
(In collaboration with IAL) With the arrival of agentic Artificial Intelligence, its capacity for autonomous decision-making, personalised pathways, and adaptive learning, compels us to go through another paradigm shift to rethink our roles as both learners and educators.
In this innovLogue, we bring together voices from academia, technology and industry to explore what a human- centered approach means when agentic AI becomes a learning companion and tutor. How would it impact the role of the trainer and educator that is currently envisaged as a coach and facilitator? What about the capabilities of trainer and educator that must evolve and develop to preserve the centrality of human agency, creativity and purpose?
