Asia Summit 2026

AI, Education, and Asia's Economic Competitiveness

-

As AI reshapes how knowledge is taught, accessed, and assessed, educational institutions—from international schools to universities to executive learning—are rethinking what and how they teach, while employers reassess which skills still hold value in an AI-enabled economy. How are education leaders deploying AI in ways that deepen learning rather than shortcut it? What does it take to make AI-based tools work across diverse markets and local realities? And as AI erodes the premium on general knowledge, what must schools and universities do differently to keep the region's talent pipeline competitive? This session brings together leaders spanning K-12, higher education, executive education, and industry to examine where AI is already delivering, and where the gaps and risks remain.
