About
This project explores how GenAI-powered smart glasses and wearable technologies will reshape education, focusing on governance, policy, risk, and institutional readiness. Embedded within the Smart Glasses Lab, the research critically examines ethical, privacy, and equity challenges, supporting responsible technology integration aligned with evolving voluntary guardrails. The Lab brings together interdisciplinary expertise in education, policy, AI governance, and technology innovation, offering a collaborative, practice-led environment. We are seeking a motivated applicant with a background in education, policy, or digital technologies who is interested in critically shaping the future of emergent technologies in education. Strong analytical and communication skills, and an interest in responsible innovation and public engagement, are essential.
