Beyond the Code: AI and Law - Episode 3 - Prof Schwab on Rethinking Education for the Intelligent Age

Loading player...
In Episode 3 of Beyond the Code: AI and Law, World Economic Forum founder Professor Klaus Schwab argues that universities across the world are struggling to keep pace with rapid technological disruption driven by AI, automation, and quantum computing.

He warns that traditional models of teaching and learning are no longer sufficient for what he describes as the emerging “Intelligent Age.”

He further explores the broader societal implications of technological disruption, including rising inequality, misinformation, and declining trust in institutions, warning that “truth and trust have become the defining fault lines of our time.”

The discussion also touches on the future of globalisation, stakeholder capitalism, and leadership in an AI-driven world, where ethical responsibility and long-term human outcomes must take centre stage.
