At the summit, Professor Surdam will address the critical challenge of preparing the next generation for an AI-driven world, focusing on how education, industry, and government can work together to develop future-ready talent.

"Technology will not determine the future — the future will be determined by those who learn how to use it wisely," said Surdam.

He will emphasize that while technology is advancing rapidly, education systems must evolve to keep pace:

"The real challenge of the AI revolution isn't building smarter machines — it's preparing smarter humans."
