They are teachers by day, and they are data analysts by night, and not one of them signed up to do that night job.

So walking around schools, I had a smartphone in my hand, and we had machine learning applications telling us how we should shop, how we should save, and how we should sleep.

And I thought, why don't we have this technology in the classroom telling us how we should learn?

We've got to build that technology.

But we can't use any old machine learning recommendation engine.

We need to combine artificial intelligence with neuroscientific theory and the learning sciences to learn how every single brain in this room learns.

Because if we can fix learning, we can improve outcomes.

We can personalize education for every single one of us and provide intelligent insights to teachers to reduce the workload.

So 12 years ago, I built a team.

They built the technology.

It exists.

Students use it in over 140 countries.

We've collected over 40 billion data points on how children learn.

And I'm going to show you a couple of the things that I've learned about learning on the way.

But before I do that, I thought it would be really important to share with you some student feedback that I have on our platform.

It's really important because it tells us what children's expectations are when they use an AI education partner.

So I get feedback like this.

I'm trying to say, thank you, it's lovely, it's brilliant.

I think Century will help me to achieve things that I thought were impossible.

It's a golden child, right?
