One of the purposes of the Tony Little Centre for Innovation and Research in Learning (CIRL) at Eton is to make sure that the school is keeping abreast of developments and innovations in education. Innovation typically seeds out of sight to meet a niche need; if it later finds a mainstream application, it is likely to be well-formed and possibly either a benefit or a potential threat. To future-proof our current success we need to be paying attention to the most significant innovations and to make sure that we see change coming. Artificial Intelligence (AI) is one such innovation. AI is already impacting on the kinds of careers many Etonians go into, including finance, medicine, law and the military.
