The Event

In an era of rapid AI advancement, what essential skills and mindsets do children need to adapt, think independently, and make their own choices? How can they use AI as a tool to extend—rather than replace—their thinking?

On December 14, educators and AI practitioners will gather at Yale Center Beijing to explore the abilities that truly matter for the future. Together, they will offer parents and teachers a clear framework for embracing AI’s possibilities while staying focused on education’s core mission: raising resilient, thoughtful, and self-directed young people.
