Hey, I'm Dan, The AI Educator.
I know that we both care deeply about the state of education, amid the uncertainty of rapidly advancing AI. I work with leading schools and governments worldwide to help them strategise and build capability, and I have recently been recognised as a top voice on AI.

My mission is to amplify credible expert insight and give educators the clarity, confidence, and tools they need to teach effectively and prepare students.
