Dr. Amany Alkhayat has been working with AI in education since 2017, long before most classrooms were paying attention to it. She is an educator, researcher, and instructional technology specialist with an Ed.D. in Instructional Technology and Media from Teachers College, Columbia University, and more than 20 years of teaching experience across four continents with both multilingual and native-speaking learners.

She is the bestselling co-author of The AI Transformation: Thriving Within Civilization's Next Big Disruption, which looks at how we navigate AI-driven change while keeping human judgment at the center.

Her research covers artificial intelligence, conversational agents, augmented and mixed reality, user research, and human-centered design. Across all of it she keeps coming back to one question: how do we let technology support human thinking instead of replacing it?

Dr. Alkhayat's courses turn that research into practice. She teaches responsible AI integration, AI-enhanced teaching and learning, academic integrity, immersive learning, and human-centered design, and she starts from the same place every time. Tools do not fix teaching. Good pedagogy is what makes a tool make sense, and teachers who have that foundation can judge whatever technology shows up next.
