This interview is an excerpt from a conversation between Julia Gillard and Lila Ibrahim, focusing on the transformative potential of personalized learning and the application of new technologies, particularly AI, in education globally. Gillard discusses her lifelong commitment to education, which propelled her into public policy and her current work supporting female education in Africa through an exponential model for change where alumni fund new students. Ibrahim shares her similar journey, which began with building a computer lab and led to establishing a nonprofit focused on bringing educational technology to under-resourced communities. Both speakers emphasize the urgent need to address the tragedy of millions of children lacking quality education and the importance of ensuring that AI is used to lift us all up together rather than increase division. They highlight that AI's true power lies in moving beyond simple homework answers to become an assistant to help you explore your learning in a personalized style, thereby allowing every individual to reach their potential on a huge scale.
