The central panel, under the theme “Between gesture and algorithm”, will bring together Arlindo Oliveira, Professor Emeritus at IST and specialist in Artificial Intelligence, Gustavo Jesus, psychiatrist and clinical director of PIN Lisboa, Maria Corrêa, clinical psychologist, and Marta Pinto, researcher and consultant in Artificial Intelligence, with moderation by journalist Catarina Marques (SIC).
The session will discuss topics such as the new foundations of education, the role of emotion and error in learning, the impact of artificial intelligence on the teacher-student relationship, the balance between digital and analog, and the school as a space for citizenship.
