(1 May 2024) The World Economic Forum (WEF), the greatly influential international organization famous for its annual meeting in Davos, Switzerland, published a report this past weekend, “Shaping the Future of Learning: The Role of AI in Education 4.0.” The WEF issues reports on high-level topics of global concern—most notably climate change—and its views carry a lot of weight in thought leader circles. This 28-page report on the role of AI in education has a speculative tone but will likely shape international and national conversations and policymaking. Its overall message is that AI can have a powerful and positive impact on students and teachers.
