Abstract Summary
With recent developments in the training of large language models and machine learning, artificial intelligence tools have been able to take a huge leap forward. It's likely that the impact of these developments will have significant implications across the both the academic world and the world of work. These tools offer huge opportunities for the development of languages and education more generally, but in order to ensure we use them wisely we need to have a firm understanding of how they will impact the lives of our students both now and in their future careers.

In this session I will share some of the opportunities and challenges that AI brings to our classroom and explore some of the ways it can be used to have a positive impact on both the ways we develop and educate teachers as well as how we develop our students.
