Bootcamp: Society, Mind, Machine, & Management - Shaping Education in the Age of AI

Why a 4-Pillar Bootcamp in the Age of AI?

Organizations across education, corporate learning, and EdTech are investing heavily in AI. Yet the results remain disappointing. Most initiatives stay at the level of pilots, tools, or isolated experiments, with little measurable impact on learning outcomes, institutional performance, or strategic positioning.

The challenge is not the technology itself. It lies in leadership’s ability to understand what AI truly changes in education: at the level of society, human learning, pedagogical models, governance, and institutional strategy. Without a clear system-level vision, sound learning science, and robust decision frameworks, AI risks becoming a source of fragmentation rather than transformation.

This is precisely the challenge addressed by Copernia and its European academic partners through the bootcamp “Society, Mind, Machine & Management: Shaping Education in the Age of AI”.

This intensive 5-day hybrid program is designed for senior decision-makers in education, learning & development, and digital transformation who need to move beyond tools and trends toward responsible, scalable, and value-creating AI-enabled learning systems.
