Taking the lead on digital and AI - Education Technology

From TED Talk speakers, to a futurologist's keynote at an event, those who make predictions about the future usually live safe in the knowledge they won't retrospectively be pulled up on forecasts that don't come to pass. The picture is very different for those in government, who must ensure citizens and businesses are adequately prepared for challenges. Government predictions must convert to real-world planning that puts building blocks for future success and prosperity in place – it can't be a'finger in the air'. Education is at the foundations of preparation. Governments and educators must identify trends early enough to update curriculums, develop the right courses, and equip people with skills that put us in a strong position to compete on the world stage.
