Education in an AI age - Graham Brown-Martin

Mar 7, 2025

Dan and Ray welcome Graham Brown Martin, a seasoned expert in education technology, for a very(!) thought-provoking conversation about navigating education in the rapidly evolving age of artificial intelligence.

In this episode:

  • Discover Graham's journey through multiple technological revolutions—from early mainframes and pioneering laser-disc technology to modern-day AI.

  • Hear stories from Graham's past, including his role in bringing together provocative figures like Katherine Birbalsingh and Malcolm McLaren to challenge the status quo in education.

  • Reflect on the historical context of industrial revolutions and their ongoing influence on our current educational systems.

  • Understand why Graham argues that education is still stuck in outdated 19th-century practices and how the pandemic reinforced rather than changed this dynamic.

  • Explore why Graham believes relational skills, creativity, empathy, and human collaboration will define education and employment in the fifth industrial revolution.

  • Graham's call to action? Shifting educational and economic models to prioritise human-centric skills and societal value.
