Biographical note
Velislava Hillman is Visiting Fellow at London School of Economics and Political Science, UK, and Founder of EDDS (Education Data Digital Sovereignty), UK. She is also a Fellow at the National Education Policy Centre, University of Colorado, Boulder, USA.Our schools are being transformed by EdTech platforms run for profit. Hillman’s refreshing and sharp-eyed book traces the huge shift of power away from educators that Big Data and AI today represent. Invoking the <i>human</i> goals of education that neoliberal policies and cutting-edge techniques obscure, Hillman calls for principled regulation before it is too late.
- Nick Couldry, co-author of "The Costs of Connection" (2019),
A must-read for educators, policymakers, and anyone interested in educational technology. A timely reminder that while technology can be a powerful tool for learning, children can only benefit if there is robust governance and ethical standards in the sector. This book is a significant contribution to the discourse on educational technology.
