Your OEB26 Guide: Exploring AI and Personalised Learning

Can AI help create more personalised learning experiences without taking away learner agency?

As AI continues to reshape education, personalised and adaptive learning is opening new possibilities, from tailored learning pathways and feedback to new ways of supporting learners.

At OEB 2026, this topic will be explored through different perspectives:
🤖 Presentation Panel
Personalised & Adaptive Learning with AI
Explore approaches including AI agents, analytics-based tools and verified learning pathways, while discussing how to use technology without replacing human judgement.

With presentations from:
🎤 Liandi Van den Berg, North-West University
🎤 Clariël Veldhuizen, University of Amsterdam // IguideME
🎤 Mohammad Alam Saeed, University of Education, Lahore
🎤 Cristina Alvarez Martinez, IE University

What does trust mean in the context of untrustworthy systems?

We are delighted to welcome Dr Helen Beetham, Lecturer in Digital Education at the University of Manchester, as a keynote speaker at OEB 2026.

Helen has spent decades examining, and challenging, the promises made for technology in education. Her work asks difficult questions about AI, agency and sovereignty: who controls the systems on which learning increasingly depends, what new dependencies they create, and what we risk losing when technological change is treated as inevitable.

On Friday, 4 December, Helen will bring this critical perspective to Sovereign Learning: Trust, Agency & the Education Reset, asking not simply what technology can do for education, but what kind of learning, and what kind of society, we actually want to create.

When AI predicts our choices, does it also begin to shape them?

We are delighted to announce Carissa Véliz, Associate Professor of Philosophy at the University of Oxford’s Institute for Ethics in AI, as a keynote speaker at the OEB 2026 Opening Plenary.

Carissa is one of the most compelling critical voices examining the power increasingly exercised through AI: the mass collection of personal data, the use of prediction to influence behaviour and decision-making, and the consequences for privacy, autonomy and democracy.

Her latest book, "Prophecy: Prediction, Power, and the Fight for the Future", challenges the assumption that ever greater powers of prediction necessarily represent progress. Instead, she asks what is lost when institutions and technologies increasingly seek to anticipate, categorise and shape human behaviour.

At OEB, Carissa will turn that critical lens on education. She warns that AI is not only enabling students to externalise learning, but risks eroding the individual and collective agency we may be wise to retain. Against that backdrop, Sovereign Learning: Trust, Agency & the Education Reset raises a fundamental question: how much power are we prepared to hand over to systems that increasingly observe, predict and influence us?

The OEB 2026 programme is now live. ✨

AI is reshaping how knowledge is created, how work evolves and how learning happens.

The question now is: what should we automate, what should we augment, and which human capabilities do we need to strengthen?

Under this year’s theme, Sovereign Learning: Trust, Agency & the Education Reset, OEB 2026 brings together educators, policymakers, learning professionals, researchers and technology leaders from around the world to explore these questions.

Discover a programme featuring keynote plenaries, Boardroom Dialogues, practical How To sessions, Masterclasses, Learning Cafés and more, designed to move beyond discussing change and explore how we respond to it.

Meet some of our keynote speakers:
🎤 Carissa Véliz, University of Oxford
🎤 Serena Gonsalves-Fersch, Shape the Future Consortium

How do we make more informed decisions about AI in learning, education and training?

From governing AI at institutional level to assessing tools, verifying AI-assisted research and examining digital autonomy, the OEB 2026 Pre-Conference programme offers several hands-on ways to tackle the choices behind AI adoption.

🔹 Multi-LLM Hackathon for Strategic Intelligence in Education & Training with Paul Bacsich, Margaret Korosec and Brian Mulligan
Take part in an AI Evidence Sprint and explore how multiple LLMs, source verification and structured research workflows can support credible strategic analysis.

🔹 Leading AI with Intention: A Working Session for University Leaders with Laurie Forcier and Nina Huntemann
Explore how universities can move from individual AI adoption towards more intentional institutional governance, with a focus on visibility, shared capability, continuous oversight and AI stewardship.
