Microsoft and the Future of Education: Multiple Perspectives on the Adoption of AI
May 6, 2026
Plenary Session
Basic Education
As AI moves beyond the experimental stage and becomes a reality, educational leaders face a critical challenge: how to adopt AI at scale without losing sight of what matters most—learning, trust, and human connection. In this talk, Fernando Cruz of Microsoft explores how multiple forms of AI—assistants, co-pilots, and intelligent agents—can work together toward a single goal: to enhance human capabilities in education. The session highlights how AI can free up time for educators, support more personalized and equitable learning, and strengthen decision-making in schools and educational systems—all grounded in security, responsible use, and governance.
