I’m very honoured to be invited to hold a speech at the 23rd MEITAL Conference on Technology-Enhanced Teaching and Learning in Higher Education. It will be held this year on Wednesday, July 16, 2025, in Yitzhak Rabin Center, Tel Aviv.

Every year, the MEITAL Conference brings together many member so the higher education innovation and technology community, provides a platform for sharing research, development, and implementation of technology-based innovation in Israeli academia.

This year’s conference theme “Higher Education in the Age of Generative AI (GenAI)” offers a rich program and will provide research, development, and technology practitioners in higher education a central platform for knowledge sharing and staying up to date on the latest developments in the field.

My presentation is about: “Ethical Regulation of AI & Education (AI&ED): Needs and Benefits

Artificial Intelligence (AI) is changing our work and mindsets as well as education and society. Appointed by the Council of Europe (CoE), I’m proud member of the AI and Education (AI&ED) Expert Group that is currently developing the legal regulation of AI and Education. In my presentation, I claim that regulation of AI and Education is urgently required. And I raise the question which kind of regulation do we want for AI and Education. Furthermore, I remind everybody that AI and Education always means both: Education with AI (AI use) and Education about AI (AI literacy). Thus, I want to discuss with you and all participants the needs as well as the benefits of AI regulation in the fields of the special sector Education.
