The lines between learning and cheating become blurred in a world increasingly intertwined with artificial intelligence (AI). In his talk, teacher and researcher Erik Winerö tells a story with a narrative that weaves through the evolution of pole-vaulting technology and the intricacies of coding. The speaker challenges the audience to reconsider the essence of learning in the age of automation. Are we merely reaching higher bars, or are we missing the true journey of learning? Erik Winerö is a teacher and researcher, passionate about learning and IT. Erik has a background as a high school teacher in Swedish and Religion but has also, in recent years, begun to research applied IT in educational science at the University of Gothenburg. This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community. Learn more at https://www.ted.com/tedx
