Issue Balancing human-centred capabilities with industry-linked talent development in the AI era

Summary

The report points to a lack of education that cultivates critical thinking and ethical judgement, and says schooling must go beyond simple technical training to strengthen uniquely human capabilities. At the same time, it calls for a system that quickly reflects fast-changing demand for advanced technology. Proposed tools include autonomy for enrolment quotas in advanced fields and the fostering of innovative universities based on cooperation between industry and academia. With major countries investing heavily in advanced talent as a national strategy, the need for such a system grows. Keeping human-centred learning and industry-linked training in balance is framed as a core task of education in the AI era.
