Date: 27 July 2026
Place: National Institute of Education (NIE), Nanyang Technological University (NTU), Singapore
Giovanni Volpe gave the invited talk “What remains for humans to do in the age of AI?” at the NIE NSSE AI Seminar, held at Nanyang Technological University (NTU) in Singapore.
The seminar was part of the “Professional Sharing by Experts in AI” series organized by the Natural Sciences and Science Education (NSSE) Department at the National Institute of Education (NIE).
The seminar took place within the week-long symposium “Human in the Lead: AI-informed Science Education Practices”, which brought together researchers from the natural sciences and science education to explore the rapidly evolving role of artificial intelligence in both scientific research and teaching.
In his talk, Giovanni discussed the question of what roles remain uniquely or essentially human as increasingly capable AI systems become integrated into research and education, and how scientists and educators can make productive use of these technologies while keeping humans in the lead.
