"Teaching and education will be transformed by AI. There is no doubt about that, and AI is not going to go away," said co-principal John Dalton, urging people to become "agile and adopt it".

They also mentor them in soft skills like debating and financial literacy.

Absolutely. But, in a sense, that’s just life in academia.”
