Racing the Clock: Education's Response to AI's Rapid Rise
This one-day conference is hosted as part of the Lead Through Learning (2025-2027) series - our whole-of-University strategy addressing the rapid rise of artificial intelligence in education. It seeks to bring together educators, researchers, students and industry leaders to explore how education can respond with urgency, purpose and leadership.
National conversations are already pointing to the need for a coordinated, forward-looking response that prioritises human capability, agency, and ethical engagement with AI. Educational institutions can no longer afford fragmented or reactive approaches; the question is not whether AI will shape learning and work, but how deliberately and responsibly we respond.
Racing the Clock is a moment to bring that conversation into the same room to move beyond fragmented responses, surface what is genuinely working, confront what is not, and start building a shared response across sectors.
