Welcome to the AI in Education podcast
With Dan Bowen from Microsoft Australia and Ray Fleming from InnovateGPT
It's a fortnightly chat about Artificial Intelligence in Education - what it is, how it works, and the different ways it is being used. It's not too serious, or too technical, and is intended to be a good conversation of background information.
Of course, as well as getting it here on the website, you can also just subscribe to your normal podcast service:

The podcast was a special dual-production episode between the AI and Education podcast, and the Data Revolution podcast, welcoming Ray Fleming and Kate Carruthers as the guests. The conversation centred around the transformation of the traditional data systems in education to incorporating AI. Kate Carruthers, the Chief Data and Insights Officer at the University of New South Wales, and Head of Business Intelligence for the UNSW AI Institute, discussed the use of data in the business and research-related aspects of higher education. On the other hand, Fleming, the Chief Education Officer at InnovateGPT, elaborated on the growth and potential of generative Artificial Intelligence (AI) in educational technology and its translation into successful business models in Australia. The guests pondered the potential for AI to change industries, especially higher education, and the existing barriers to AI adoption. The conversation revolved around adapting education to make use of unstructured data through AI and dealing with the implications of this paradigm shift in education.
The Data Revolution podcast is available on Apple Podcasts, Google Podcasts and Spotify.
