Assalamu’alaikum. Warahmatullahi Wabarakatuh.
Good morning,
Ladies and gentlemen, I respect.

As we know, the current era of big data needs to be addressed properly. Apart from having an impact on the business, industrial, and social sectors, the big data era also has an impact on the education sector. Innovation in education is urgently needed in the current big data era.

The development of artificial intelligence has become a challenge for the learning process. ‘Artificial intelligence’ (AI) is now an integral part of our everyday life.We rely on artificial intelligence in an increasing number of mundane daily activities, for example, when we are reading news on our smartphone apps, when we do online shopping, or when we drive a car.

Artificial intelligence has clearly become a determining factor for the future of humanity as it continues to substantially transform individual lives and to impact human communities and does it in both positive and negative ways. On the positive side, technology stimulates and promotes progress and innovation, helps address various emerging challenges, finds cures for deadly diseases, or simply facilitates our communication.

But AI-based systems also bear risks, including respect for our fundamental rights and freedoms. For example, AI can be used to control and filter information flows or to exercise automated censorship of content published on social media. In the criminal justice field, predictive policing and algorithms may increase discrimination and bias. Also, the lack of transparency in data collection and its use by algorithms reduces the ability of human users to take fully informed decisions.

Clearly, artificial intelligence brings both opportunities and challenges. It is therefore of utmost importance to strike the right balance between mitigating the risks and making full use of the advantages that artificial intelligence can offer in promoting a better life for all.

According to the report of the committee, 150 papers will be presented in the parallel sessions of this conference. Therefore, I would like to thank the presenters for their enthusiasm to participate in this event. I believe, your contribution will be beneficial for teaching and learning innovation and eventually for education as a whole. My gratitude also goes to the five invited speakers who will specifically discuss “Innovation Learning in the Age of Big Data”. I would like to congratulate the committee for making this event successful until now.

In conclusion, I wish you very fruitful discussions, and again, thank you very much for participating in this conference. Thank you. Wassalamu’alaikum wr wb.
