AI is redefining how we learn, work, and create—and today’s students will enter a workforce where collaboration with AI is a core skill, not an optional one. In this session, Brainly’s CTO/COO Bill Salak shares a practical vision of the near future and introduces the emerging edtech tools teachers and students need right now to prepare for it. You’ll see how AI-powered solutions can equip educators with deeper, real-time insights into student learning while preserving instructional integrity, transparency, and trust. Attendees will gain exposure to Brainly’s latest research and strategies for integrating AI into student tasks and workflows in ways that strengthen mastery, scaffold learning, and cultivate the collaborative AI skills that will define every profession. Expect a forward-looking and provocative exploration of what education must become to keep pace with the world our students are walking into—grounded in real classroom needs and offering an early look at the tools currently being built to meet them.
