Fika Chat on AI and learning in higher education with Olga Viberg
Podcast "Fika Chat on the Future of Education" – episode 66
There is a lot of talk about ChatGPT and other generative AI tools. How have they changed the way students learn at university? Marcus Lithander (Podcast Host) and Joakim Lilliesköld (Deputy Programme Manager of Future Education at KTH) chat over coffee in episode 66 with Olga Viberg (Cluster Coordinator for AI and Learning in Higher Education and a leading researcher in AI in education and learning analytics) about her vision for KTH as an international leader in AI in education, ongoing initiatives and what is happening in Digital Future's research focus period this spring.
Time: Wed 2025-10-22 15.00 - 15.30
Location: Zoom
Language: English
Participating: Marcus Lithander, Joakim Lilliesköld, Olga Viberg
Artificial intelligence is fundamentally changing how we work, learn and create, and higher education is no exception. The question is not whether AI should be integrated into education, but how it can be done in a way that truly enhances student learning and supports teachers' work. What does responsible and ethical AI use mean in practice? And how can KTH take the lead internationally in shaping the future of education with AI in a humane, fair and sustainable way?
Podcast guest: Olga Viberg
In this live-recorded episode, Marcus Lithander (podcast host) and Joakim Lilliesköld (Deputy Programme Manager for Future Education at KTH) meet Olga Viberg , newly appointed Cluster Coordinator for AI and learning in higher education at KTH.
Olga talks about her vision for how AI can make teaching more personal and effective, what risks there are, what skills both students and teachers need in AI-mediated learning and teaching practices, what initiatives are in the pipeline, and what will happen during Digital Futures' upcoming research focus period on "Fostering Human Agency in AI-Mediated Education".
