The implications of generative artificial intelligence (AI) for education are rapidly evolving while the dynamic implications of generative AI for education remain understudied, and research and policy funding environments remain skewed towards the interests of funders and tech companies overwhelmingly located in the Global North. The summit's keynote will be followed by two multidisciplinary panels that will explore issues of justice and knowledge and ethics, linking research and policy debates on generative AI to a global perspective on digital inequities.

In mid-2023, a trial aiming to integrate AI into textbooks has been announced in South Korea, while bans on ChatGPT were introduced in schools in Italy and New York. Digital knowledge, culture and software movements are exploring the role that ‘frontier’ technologies might play in opening up and democratising knowledge and education. At the same time, international organisations and scholars have expressed concerns about how AI may intensify the potential for digitalisation to reinforce and retrench existing inequalities at global and local levels.
