From Hype to Hope Beyond the AI Horizon Dr Benjamin Rosman (Professor in AI and Robotics - Wits) Episode Description In our latest session, Jacqueline Aitchison (Education Incorporated) sat down with Prof. Benjamin Rosman (University of the Witwatersrand University) for a compelling conversation on the implications of artificial intelligence. Judging by the strong attendance and online engagement, it’s clear this topic struck a chord with our community. The occasional gasps and audible “yikes” from the audience spoke volumes—this was more than just an academic discussion; it was eye-opening. One of the key takeaways was just how much we might be underestimating AI’s potential to eventually replace—and even surpass—human capabilities. Yet, on a more optimistic note, we may also be undervaluing the ethical frameworks emerging within AI systems themselves. Encouragingly, these systems can, in some cases, demonstrate ethical decision-making—even when humans attempt to exploit them.

"We had the privilege this year of having Colin Iles's talk at our Valediction. And share his thoughts on what the future might look like for our future alumni. At Edu Inc, the Valediction is a very, very important rite of passage. And one of the key elements is that the students get to share their journey and their thoughts on their journey with their peers and with their parents. It's a time for them to acknowledge the people that have helped them along the path, the people who have supported them, and to kind of prepare what the future generations in the school might have to experience and the things that they might have to overcome. I met Colin in a podcast that didn't become a podcast when we ended up agreeing on too much. And he wanted a boxing match. But what it did highlight for us is that there was a likeness and thinking on what education should look like, and the future that these kids are going to be walking into. And I think that the message he gave them was very pertinent. I certainly had to listen to it more than once to take it all out. And I would like to share this message with our community so that everybody understands what the future might hold for them." - Gershom Aitchison - https://www.linkedin.com/in/gershom-aitchison-1b074b234/ Visit our website http://educationincorporated.co.za YouTube Video · Gershom Aitchison · EduInc website · Facebook (Public) · Facebook (closed group) · Twitter (closed group) · YouTube · Review us on Google

Dunkirk. June 4, 1940 - Operation Dynamo, later to become known as ‘The Miracle of Dunkirk’: 336 000 French, British and other Allied troops are evacuated from where they are cornered on the beaches of Dunkirk to England by 850 small, private, boats. An operation so critical, after these troops had been trapped by a German pincer movement, that the failure of it may well have resulted in the Allies losing the war against Nazi Germany. In a recent conversation with Professor Jonathan Jansen, I was fortunate enough to spend some  time discussing the parallels between ‘the small ships of Dunkirk’ and independent education in South Africa. In a country where we have upward of 26,000 schools (over 80% of them considered to be non-functional) and approximately 2,500 independent schools catering to 7,2% of the basic education sector, we feel a lot like the small ships of Dunkirk.
