Keynote Session - Prioritizing Human Intelligence for an AI World How can we prepare our students for jobs that don't exist yet? As artificial intelligence continues transforming the workforce, we must equip our students with the "Human Intelligence" they need to succeed. In this thought-provoking keynote, Travis Allen makes a compelling call to action to cultivate the uniquely human-centered skills that set us apart from machines. He will inspire the audience to design educational experiences that build students' skills to navigate complex real-world problems, embrace uncertainties, and cultivate transferable skills like collaboration, critical thinking, and creativity, essential career-ready skills for a post-AI world. |
