Title: Beyond Generative AI: Advancing Education Through Hybrid Intelligence
Abstract: The rapid advancement of Generative AI (GenAI) is reshaping the educational landscape and challenging conventional approaches to teaching, learning, and assessment. This talk explores the potential of hybrid intelligence, where human expertise, judgement, creativity, and agency are strategically combined with the capabilities of AI. Particular attention is given to feedback and pedagogical design as key areas in which human–AI collaboration can enhance learning. Drawing on emerging theoretical perspectives and recent developments, the talk examines how GenAI can complement rather than replace human feedback, while supporting more responsive, personalized, and meaningful learning experiences. It also considers the conditions required for effective human–AI complementarity, including learner agency, critical AI literacy, ethical awareness, and thoughtful pedagogical orchestration. The talk concludes by discussing how education can move beyond simply adopting AI tools toward designing learning environments in which humans and AI work together to foster deeper learning, transformative competencies, and responsible participation in an AI-rich world.
