The First AI-Native Generation: Reimagining the Classroom | Panathēnea 2026

What does education look like for the first generation growing up with artificial intelligence as a constant companion? At Panathēnea 2026, Dora Palfi, Co-Founder and CEO of Imagi, joins Vasilis Koutsoumpas, AI Adviser to the Prime Minister of Greece, and Marita Vlachou, Editor-in-Chief of HuffPost Greece, for a conversation on how AI is reshaping learning, teaching, and the future of education. As AI becomes increasingly integrated into everyday life, classrooms around the world face a profound transformation. From personalized learning experiences and new approaches to digital literacy, to questions around critical thinking, creativity, and responsible technology use, educators and policymakers are navigating both unprecedented opportunities and new challenges. Drawing on perspectives from entrepreneurship, public policy, and media, the panel explores how schools can prepare students for an AI-driven future, the skills that will matter most in the coming decades, and the role of technology in creating more accessible and engaging educational experiences. Whether you're an educator, parent, student, policymaker, founder, or technology enthusiast, this session offers valuable insights into the future of learning in the age of AI.
