Hi–I’m Dan. 

Dan Fitzpatrick is a leading voice in how education systems respond to Artificial Intelligence. Long before it became a global priority, he recognised its scale and urgency for schools and national systems and helped leaders move from uncertainty to confident, ethical action.

He has advised governments, parliamentary bodies, regulators, awarding organisations, and education charities, shaping national guidance in the UK, Dubai, and Kazakhstan while consistently prioritising public interest, learner safety, and long-term capability. Alongside this policy work, Dan supports education leaders worldwide to embed sustainable Artificial Intelligence strategies across governance, curriculum, assessment, and workforce development.

Through bestselling books, weekly writing for Forbes, international keynote speaking, major media contributions including CNN, Sky News, BBC, and ITV, and initiatives such as the Edufuturists Awards and the Century Changemakers Student Awards, Dan ensures innovation reaches classrooms and communities as well as policy rooms.
