HP Futures

Leading Education in the AI Experience Era

HP’s premier knowledge network — HP Futures — brings together leading AI researchers, education thinkers, policymakers, and practitioners to ask the most pressing questions at the intersection of AI and learning.

Its insights, recommendations, and frameworks shape how the world understands the evolving relationship between AI and education — equipping educators, policymakers, and EdTech leaders with the knowledge to act responsibly and equitably.

In its inaugural year, 2024, HP Futures examined how technology can help close the global education gap, and was presented to the world stage in Milan by HP’s CEO. In 2025, the focus turned to the future of learning in the AI era, with the report released at the World Schools Summit in Abu Dhabi before Education Ministers and school leaders from across the globe.

In 2026, HP Futures turns its attention to the defining subject of our times – skills in the age of intelligent machines – with the report to be released at The Education Leaders Forum in Singapore in October, in the presence of over 100 education CEOs and policymakers.

What begins as inquiry at HP Futures ripples outward. The thinking is rigorous. The intent is human. And the questions that matter most find their home here.

Skills in the Age of Intelligent Machines

The latest edition of HP Futures examines what it means to prepare young people for a world shaped by AI. It explores durable human skills, lifelong learning, and AI fluency – spotlighting how education and work can be redesigned around human potential even as they are transformed by technology.
 
HP Futures 2026 brings together global education experts, policymakers and industry leaders to explore how education systems and institutions can best equip learners to succeed in a rapidly evolving future of work.

The expectation of a single, stable career path is giving way to something far more fluid. HP Futures examines how institutions can equip learners with the mindset, resilience and learning agility required to navigate multiple careers, shifting industries, and continuous re-skilling over a lifetime.

As automation reshapes the nature of work, not all skills will retain their value. HP Futures explores which capabilities will endure – from critical thinking to adaptability – and how current education systems can cultivate them.  

AI literacy is fast becoming a baseline expectation, yet its role within broader skill development remains unclear. This question looks at how systems can embed AI fluency meaningfully without crowding out the distinctly human capabilities that matter most.

The blueprint for future-ready learning environments is beginning to take shape. HP Futures invites and delves into examples of institutions rethinking design from the ground up, from curriculum to assessment to organisational structure, and highlights emerging models.
