Research & Foresight

We produce rigorous, interdisciplinary research to give education leaders and policymakers the insight they need to navigate AI thoughtfully and act with confidence.

Rigorous thinking for complex decisions

The questions that matter most about AI and education don't have easy answers. How should we cultivate thinking and judgment when cognitive effort can increasingly be outsourced? What human skills will matter most and how do we teach them? What does genuine AI literacy look like?


We tackle these questions through quarterly research reports and policy briefs, a flagship publication our Substack and our forthcoming book. We collaborate with philosophers, university researchers, and practitioners from around the world to produce work that is both rigorous and evidence-based.

We publish quarterly reports accompanied by policy briefs outlining concrete recommendations. Each report is produced with leading thinkers and practitioners from across the field.

Learning how to think in the age of cognitive offloading

How should education systems cultivate thinking, judgment, and metacognition in a world where cognitive effort can increasingly be outsourced to AI?

Human Skills in the Age of AI: From Rhetoric to Practice

What social, emotional, and relational skills will matter most in an AI-driven world, and how can education systems meaningfully teach and assess them?

Beyond Prompting: Rethinking AI Literacy for Education

What does it mean to be truly literate in AI from understanding how systems work to developing critical judgment and how should this be taught in schools?

Preparing for Unknown Jobs: Education and the Future of Work

If many future jobs do not yet exist, how should education systems evolve to prepare students for uncertainty, adaptability, and continuous learning?
