(WISE 12 Summit) How can education innovators scale teacher-centric solutions into systems?

Artificial intelligence is emerging as a powerful tool for education systems to generate and use evidence more effectively, but its application in low- and middle-income countries raises critical questions about readiness, equity, and governance. This roundtable, hosted by the Global Schools Forum with contributions from the Gates Foundation and Brookings, explores how AI and evidence can work together to strengthen learning systems that are effective, inclusive, and trustworthy. Participants will discuss what kinds of evidence AI-driven innovations need to succeed, how AI can support adaptive decision-making, and what safeguards are essential to protect privacy, trust, and equity. Through lightning stories from education innovators and an open, collaborative dialogue, the session will gather insights and commitments to inform a collective Call to Action “AI and Evidence for Learning” for the GSF and WISE communities.

The GSF team will be at the World Innovation Summit for Education (WISE 12) on 24–25 November in Doha. This year’s theme centers around “Humanity.io: Human Values at the Heart of Education”. GSF is hosting sessions on progressive learning through innovation and iteration and on leveraging artificial intelligence and scalable solutions to transform education and close the digital divide.
