Is using AI to help write code a form of cheating? or is it like using a calculator in an exam? A powerful tool that, when used correctly, allows us to focus on solving bigger problems, not the complexity of the technology? 

In this episode of TechSphere, host Idris Fabiyi sits down with Dr. Francesca Taliaferri, a data lecturer at BPP with a rich background as a mathematician and a former industry data analyst. She discusses her revolutionary approach to embedding AI directly into the curriculum.

This conversation goes beyond the hype to explore what skills truly matter in an AI-driven world.

In this episode, you will learn:

• How the curriculum is designed to embrace AIWhy the single most important skill for any employee using AI is not technical proficiency, but critical evaluation.
• Dr Francesca's "hot take" for business leaders: why "not everybody needs AI" and the crucial steps you must take with your data before adopting AI tools.
• How a modern curriculum stays relevant in a field that changes so rapidly, shifting focus from obsolete topics to cutting-edge areas like Natural Language Processing.

Tune in for a masterclass on the future of tech education and the human skills that will always be essential.
