Rethinking Formal Education In the Age of AI: What Still Matters?
Artificial intelligence is rapidly reshaping how we work, learn, and create value. Yet formal education systems remain largely anchored in models designed for a different era. As AI becomes embedded in everyday workflows and decision-making, a fundamental question emerges: what aspects of education still matter, and what must evolve?
In this webinar, we explore how the role of formal education is being redefined in an AI-driven world. When information is abundant and AI can generate answers instantly, the value of memorization declines. In its place, new priorities are emerging, including critical thinking, problem framing, adaptability, and the ability to work effectively alongside intelligent systems.
We will examine the growing gap between traditional education pathways and the skills required in modern organizations. As AI continues to transform industries, individuals and institutions must shift from static knowledge delivery to continuous capability building. The future of education is not just about learning information, it is about developing the ability to apply, question, and evolve with technology.
