On March 11, 2025, AI4EDU was prominently featured during the 28th Educational Leadership Forum, organized by the Global Citizenship Foundation under the theme “AI for Social Learning.” The international event attracted an audience of approximately 260 participants, including educators, students, policymakers, and researchers from diverse educational and institutional backgrounds.

Dr. Daithí Ó Murchú, representing the Drumcondra Education Centre (DEC) and AI4EDU, contributed as an invited panelist to the session titled “How AI Can Foster Social Learning?” His intervention placed AI4EDU at the forefront of the discussion, highlighting how its AI-driven tools, Teacher Mate and Study Buddy, support inclusive, collaborative, and personalized learning environments.

Dr. Ó Murchú’s presentation drew heavily on insights from his research and publications on AI Singularity, agentic AI, data governance, and the evolving role of teachers in AI-augmented classrooms. By aligning AI4EDU’s solutions with social learning theories and UNESCO’s AI competency framework, he demonstrated how Teacher Mate empowers educators by streamlining administrative tasks and enabling peer-driven activities, while Study Buddy fosters student-led group learning through intelligent clustering and conversational AI.

The panel discussion resonated strongly with the forum’s international audience, opening a dialogue on the ethical, pedagogical, and operational dimensions of AI in education. The event emphasized the need for multi-stakeholder collaboration to ensure AI technologies are deployed equitably and responsibly, fully aligned with European and UNESCO guidelines.

AI4EDU’s presence at the forum reinforced its commitment to advancing AI for social learning and its role in shaping future-ready educational systems. The session also provided a platform to showcase success stories from AI4EDU pilot implementations, underscoring measurable impacts on student engagement and teacher empowerment within inclusive learning environments.
