LONDON: Education systems must preserve “non-negotiable human skills” as artificial intelligence becomes deeply embedded in daily life and learning, a new report by the Future Investment Initiative has said ahead of its key summit in Rome next week.
The report, published on Friday, identifies judgment, creativity, ethical reasoning, empathy and reflection as essential to human development, responsible citizenship and meaningful work.
Drawing on research and case studies from a range of contexts, including work by the Center for Sustainable Development’s Task Force on AI and Education at Columbia University, the report says it is intended to guide educators, institutions and policymakers on how to adopt AI in a way that remains human-centered.
“The rapid expansion of AI compels education systems to examine how these technologies are reshaping the conditions for learning, teaching and personal development,” FII said in its report.
It added that while AI can expand digital capabilities and speed access to information, education systems must not lose sight of the human capacities that remain central to learning and the future of work.
