Education Futures

About Education Futures

What’s next for education in an AI-driven world?

Education Futures is a media platform dedicated to imagining long-term, human-centered futures for education in the age of artificial intelligence. We believe that in a world where AI evolves faster than policies, tools, or even pedagogical practices, the most urgent work is not to follow what’s trending, but to ask: what do we want our education systems to become?

Through interviews and an interdisciplinary exploration, we gather insights from a wide range of voices: educators, policy makers, researchers, entrepreneurs, philosophers, scientists, and more.

Our goal is to confront the future with intention—beyond today’s capabilities or hype cycles—and to surface ideas that can help us collectively prepare the next generations for an AI-driven world.

We’re not here to merely document what’s already possible. We’re here to help shape what could and should be.
