AI Consensus is a student organization working to responsibly integrate AI into education
We are focused on exploring what this future looks like and how AI tools can elevate the experience of students and lifelong learners.
Students are the ones at the core of education, and historically lack autonomy in what and how they learn. We work to empower student engagement in AI and Education and beyond.
The Centaur is our publication that features student perspectives on the way AI impacts our lives. We feature student opinions, experiences, and case studies with the goal of contributing a neglected and essentail perspective in education.
Read the CEntaurHumaine Colab is a student-led organization that emerged from recognizing that while AI has transformative potential, it often evokes more frustration and fear than empowerment. Recognizing that AI will significantly shape our future, we believe it’s essential for youth to actively participate in guiding its development. We focus on Human-Centered Artificial Intelligence (HCAI), an approach that aligns AI systems with human needs, experiences, and values. This means creating systems designed to enhance human potential, foster intuitive interactions, and cultivate trust through transparency, inclusivity, and accountability. We bring together students, researchers, and professionals to explore the nuanced relationship between humans and AI through thoughtful dialogue and interdisciplinary collaboration. By integrating diverse perspectives into AI design and governance, we work to address biases, manage ethical risks, and ensure AI becomes a positive, equitable force for social good. Ultimately, our goal is collective empowerment: actively shaping AI development so that it genuinely benefits everyone, ensuring technology enhances our lives rather than complicating or harming it.

We hosted an exclusive overnight gathering in San Francisco for a select group of students, professionals, and creatives to explore how AI shapes our sense of self. Through dinner, late-night writing challenges, and spirited debates—including whether we’d ever date an AI—participants crafted poetry, essays, and stories reflecting the night’s revelations. The result was an unforgettable deep-dive into the nature of identity in the age of intelligent machines. Stay tuned for more immersive events soon!
AI Consensus brought the future of reasoning AI to San Francisco's tech hub. Students and experts discussed a crucial question: Which skills should education make a priority when AI can handle complex analysis? Through hands-on meetings and interactive debates, participants explored how new AI models with reasoning capabilities are likely to reshape critical thinking and problem-solving in education. TaxGPT and Stanford Education experts joined students to examine what should and should not be taught as AI reshapes the job market. “We debated the fundamental question: Will AI make us smarter?” said Mashiko Lortkipanidze M25. That included critiquing AI’s impact on critical thinking, Lortkipanidze added. “Students are already testing how reasoning AI changes the way we learn
The group wanted to start by exploring how artificial intelligence will change learning and public engagement. They met in Taipei this past December, to meld Taiwan's edtech scene with its digital democracy pioneers. The event tapped into Taiwan's strengths of blending civic tech and education innovation. Taiwan's record in digital public services added an edge to the discussions. Teams studied practical AI applications while examining a pressing question: how to ensure that everyone can access and shape these emerging, powerful tools.“When a whole country treats digital literacy as part of democracy, it opens new possibilities for the use of AI in society,” said Hubert Pyskło M27. “What Taiwan showed us is fascinating. We're taking these lessons to Europe, where the divide between civic tech and edtech is still pretty wide.”
We are currently hosting an esssay contest answering the question “How is AI changing what it means to learn?” We are working with publishers of education magazines to publish these pieces. If you’re currently a student, we’d love to have you as part of this article. Selected essays will receive a stipend of $200. Submissions are due on December 29th. See the full details here!
We are partnering with the Association of Polish Students in France (ASPOL) to host an AI Night at Le Village by Crédit Agricole in Paris on November 29th. This event brings together visionaries from diverse backgrounds to discuss the responsible integration of AI in the education sector, as well as the economic and professional transformations AI can enable.

Reasoning AIs, like OpenAI’s o1 model, are setting a new benchmark, taking center stage as the next big thing in the AI landscape. While generative AI excels at creating content, reasoning AIs are unlocking solutions to complex problems, potentially shifting the skills that matter for students and professionals.
Hosted at the Google Community Space on November 20th, this event explores the paradigm of Reasoning AI and how it changes what it means to learn. Sign up and see the event details here.
AI Night Prague brought together over 50 students, founders, and professionals from Central Europe’s leading organisations, including Microsoft, Aspen CE, and Cosmic Latte. We discussed how AI can be used for project-based learning, social entrepreneurship, game dev, and matchmaking, inspiring the Prague student community to pick up AI more widely.
Students@AI was a 2-day conference in London in March 2024 by students, for students, to explore how learning is changing in the age of AI. We were focused on the exchange of ideas between students and various stakeholders in education, through workshops, breakout discussions, and interactive panels, featuring speakers from Deepmind, Samsung, LIS, Wolfram, and Faculty. You can read more about it here.
Hosted in collaboration with students from London Interdisciplinary School, 1763 tackled the complexities of growth for a world with AI, and featured Daniel Suskind’s book "Growth: a Reckoning".
The AI Classroom Challenge was an online Use Case Hackathon, asking students to show off how they use AI to enhance their studies. We had 450+ participants create over 100 use cases. You can see all the Use Cases here!
We hosted a second “AI-Ideathon” in San Francisco on August 11th, inviting technologists, educators, entrepreneurs, and of course, students, to host more conversations about the impacts of AI on education. This event focused on the ways that industry and education intersected.
We hosted our first event on April 1st 2023 at T-Hub in Hyderabad, India, for a group of 30 students. At the time, students, educators, and institutions were still grappling to understand the impact AI would have on education, and we hosted this event to create a space where students could share and learn from each other about the impact of this technology.
