Oxford AI Summit

Artificial intelligence is reshaping the foundations of teaching, learning, and assessment. For academics and researchers, this raises urgent questions around pedagogy, cognitive development, and academic integrity. At this conference, participants will engage with cutting-edge research on personalised learning, AI-supported teaching practices, and critical debates on whether generative AI enhances or undermines higher-order thinking. Sessions will also explore how educational institutions can adapt curricula and assessment models to meaningfully integrate AI.

Within business and management research, AI is emerging not only as a technological driver but also as a transformative force for organisational theory and practice. The conference invites academics and doctoral researchers to examine how AI challenges established models of strategy, leadership, and entrepreneurship. Discussions will draw on both conceptual and empirical studies, while also highlighting implications for practitioners navigating digital transformation. This strand will serve as a bridge between scholarly inquiry and applied business challenges.

AI’s impact on society demands rigorous academic engagement with questions of ethics, governance, and regulation. At this conference, researchers will debate emerging frameworks for AI policy, from global governance and data rights to the role of public institutions in shaping equitable AI futures. While policy practitioners are welcome, the emphasis will be on scholarly perspectives that critically analyse policy design, social justice, and long-term societal consequences of AI. By connecting theoretical insights with practical dilemmas, this track provides a fertile ground for shaping future research agendas in AI governance.
