• Nearly 40% of the global workforce will need to reskill as AI dismantles industries, rewrites job descriptions, and automates what we once considered irreplaceable. So how do we prepare students for a world where today's top skills may be tomorrow's liabilities?

    As AI accelerates change at a breakneck pace, educators face an unprecedented challenge: teaching students to succeed in a future we can’t predict using tools that didn’t exist last year. This talk confronts the uncomfortable truth - our education systems were built for a world that no longer exists.

    We’ll explore how to blend timeless academic values with disruptive innovation, challenge the boundaries of academic ethics, and answer the tough question: How do we future-proof education when the future keeps rewriting itself?

  • Search powered by AI is becoming the intelligence fabric of the internet at an unprecedented pace - shaping how billions discover, learn, and make decisions. This talk shares an insider’s view into building AI and search experiences at global scale. At the heart of this transformation is the convergence of nano, info (planet-scale data systems, AI, and knowledge networks), and cogno (cognitive science, machine intelligence, and human–machine interaction). Together, these forces are accelerating how knowledge is created, linked, and applied - reshaping the very architecture of human understanding.
