Futures of Education & Knowledge

May 12

Learning, unlearning, and the politics of understanding and information.

From AI tutors to decentralized universities, we explore how knowledge is produced, accessed, and trusted. This theme covers formal education, informal learning, future skills, and cognitive shifts. Learning is no longer confined to the classroom, it’s everywhere, and it’s accelerating.

• Future skills, credentials & microlearning
• Edtech, AI tutors & learning platforms
• Knowledge production & trust
• Lifelong learning & cognitive infrastructure
• Institutional education reform
• Informal, cultural & indigenous knowledge systems

4. Liquid Lifestyles

Traditional life paths are becoming more fluid as people rethink work, family, identity, consumption, and what a meaningful life looks like. Greater flexibility and inclusivity open new possibilities, but also create tension around belonging, stability, and shared norms.

5. Blurring Realities

The boundaries between physical, digital, real, and artificial are becoming harder to distinguish. Deepfakes, AI-generated content, immersive technologies, and digital identities are reshaping trust, perception, and the ways people work, socialize, and understand reality.

6. Artificial Revolution

AI and emerging technologies are changing how decisions are made, work is organized, and value is created. Their potential is vast, but so are the risks, from bias and surveillance to job disruption, environmental costs, and new concentrations of power.
