A core purpose of education is preparing students for the future that they will live in. AI is already transforming how we acquire, use and share information, and redefining the future or work. As advanced AIs replace many of the tasks currently completed by humans, what skills and competencies will young people need to succeed in school and beyond?
Our expert panel of researchers and education professionals will discuss the transferable skills and competencies students will need to succeed in a constantly evolving world. From global competencies to high levels of AI literacy, discover how to prepare your students for a future in which humans and machines interact in new ways.
