AI in Schools—How It Works in Practice

How do you go from talking about AI to actually using it in everyday life?
We invited school administrators and AI managers to a low-key after-work gathering in Stockholm focused on exactly that.
The evening began with a presentation by Magnus Hirschfeldt, Head of Sales at Omnipro, who provided insight into how Tellusskolan’s AI strategy is being implemented in practice in both preschool and elementary school.
The name " Kentaur " refers to the interaction between humans and AI. The goal is for technology to free up time for what truly creates value: more time with colleagues and students.
We also had Anders Enström with us, winner of the Guldäpplet award and an advisor on AI strategy. He put into words a challenge that many can relate to:
“What I see is that school leaders have so much on their plates that AI doesn’t get prioritized. They know it’s important, but they don’t know where to start.”
He highlighted both the obstacles and the factors that set apart the schools that actually get off the ground:
“They ensure that AI becomes a natural part of the work for principals, teachers, and students alike. Often, they’ve also enlisted the help of someone who can guide the process.”
At Tellusskolan , we operate from precisely that perspective. Since the fall semester of 2025, our Head of Education, Lovisa Criborn, has been systematically implementing this approach in our programs.
After the opening remarks, the evening quickly moved on to hands-on activities. The participants tested various tools, focusing on how they can be used in the day-to-day work of school leaders. Being able to try them out together in a relaxed setting lowered the barriers to participation and made the discussions more concrete, both regarding opportunities and challenges.
For school leaders who want to get started, Anders' advice is clear:
“Think of it as a process. Get help from someone who can navigate the AI jungle and support you in developing a strategy.”
The next meeting will focus on delving deeper into AI strategy—how schools can move from words to action and get the entire organization on board. For us, it’s clear: it’s only when we start experimenting together that AI becomes a natural part of the school’s development.
