The International Day of Education today (24 January) is the occasion to reflect on the power of education in shaping our world. This year’s theme, “AI and education: Preserving human agency in a world of automation”, highlights the importance of education in navigating new technological developments.
As AI and computer systems become increasingly sophisticated, it’s essential to preserve human agency and decision-making. Education is key to equipping people with the skills to navigate, understand, and influence technological developments. This will make sure that people remain at the forefront of decision-making and innovation. On this International Day of Education, we celebrate our teachers and educators who help empower young people to thrive in a rapidly changing world.
