AI Integration in Skills & Competency-Based Curriculum - Workshop at MITWPU, Pune
"AI will make teachers more human." Heramb Kulkarni
Researcher and Director,
Council for Creative Education, Finland & University of Jyväskylä, Finland
As artificial intelligence redefines industries and raises alarms about job security, one sector stands out as uniquely human—education. While AI is indeed disrupting the status quo, in education, it holds the power to enhance—not replace—the teacher.
In the words of Heramb Kulkarni, a leading researcher in AI and pedagogy, "AI will make teachers more human." By automating administrative tasks and enabling personalized learning pathways, AI frees up educators to do what only humans can—build empathy, creativity, character, and connections.
This workshop explores how we can integrate AI meaningfully into skills- and competency-based learning—not to replace teachers, but to empower them to focus on higher-order human values. Together, we will look at curriculum design, ethical use, readiness, and innovation as we shape the future of learning in India’s schools and higher education institutions.
