We are living through a moment of rapid transformation. Artificial intelligence has already begun to redefine how we think, learn, and create. As the future unfolds, it prompts concerns around jobs that haven’t been invented yet and how one prepares for them. New industries are evolving which will require advanced skills related to tools that keep changing by the day.....so, what is the way forward? And where does education fit into all of this?
