Redefining pedagogy: The synergy of AI and human touch in Higher Education

Join Dare Pitan, a world class expert from the University of Birmingham (Dubai), as he explores how AI's analytical capabilities can enhance, rather than replace, human judgement, creativity, and ethical authority, and why educator insight remains essential for interpreting AI outputs across diverse learning contexts. Grounded in the Human-AI Synergy Model, this talk presents a conceptual framework built on mutual augmentation, human-led decision-making, and contextual orchestration. Attendees will gain a clear, strategic understanding of how to redesign pedagogy to harness AI responsibly, strengthen human agency, and deliver more adaptive, inclusive, and impactful learning experiences in Higher Education. This session is aimed at Higher education leaders, educators, learning designers, and EdTech decision-makers seeking a pedagogy-first approach to AI integration.
