​Preparing the Future AI Workforce

​As artificial intelligence accelerates across industries, it is reshaping the very nature of work, skills, and opportunity. The challenge is not only to keep pace with technological change, but to ensure the benefits of AI-driven growth are widely shared.

​This session invites business leaders, philanthropists, tech innovators, and educators to explore how AI is transforming the workforce—creating both unprecedented opportunities and new gaps that must be addressed. Rooted in the vision of the UN Sustainable Development Goals, the discussion will highlight strategies for advancing quality education (SDG 4), promoting decent work and economic growth (SDG 8), and fostering innovation and partnerships (SDG 9 & 17).

​By bringing diverse stakeholders together, the forum aims to shape actionable solutions that move beyond technological adoption to shared prosperity—preparing the workforce of 2030 not just to adapt, but to lead in the age of AI.
