🖼️ Presentations and Talks

Jon and Dori presented the GENIAL project at the Cambridge GenAI Conference on 28 and 29 October 2025. Here’s Jon’s presentation:

We were also present at that conference in 2024:

• Jon and Marcos presented the preliminary results of the project at the LSE Data Science Institute Research Showcase:

• Marcos gave a talk about GENIAL at the first edition of LSE’s Talking Teaching series on Thursday 2 November 2023. Entitled “AI and Education on Campus”, the event also featured Dr. Caitlin Bentley (King’s College London) and Professor Fabio Aricò (University of East Anglia).

  • Plots used in this presentation will be made available on the Findings page later.

• Jon has contributed to the course Generative AI: Developing your AI Literacy, hosted by LSE 100.

• Jon mentioned the GENIAL project in an interview to UC Berkeley’s Data Science Education podcast
