How AI is Reshaping Education with Prof. Alastair Beresford from the University of Cambridge

In this episode of Data & AI Mastery, host Raoul sits down with Prof. Alastair Beresford, Head of the Computer Science Department at the University of Cambridge, to discuss how AI is transforming education. They explore the benefits and challenges of AI-generated feedback for students, the future of coding in an AI-assisted world, and the critical skills learners need to succeed in the next decade.

Prof. Alastair shares insights on the ICAP framework for measuring student engagement, the importance of asking the right questions, and the balance between teaching fundamentals vs. relying on automation. The conversation also touches on how universities can adapt assessments to ensure students truly understand the material, rather than just accepting AI-generated answers at face value.
