HP’s premier knowledge network, HP Futures, brought 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 shaped how the world understood 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 could help close the global education gap and was presented on 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 turned its attention to the defining subject of our times: skills in the age of intelligent machines. The report was released at The Education Leaders Forum in Singapore in October, in the presence of more than 100 education CEOs and policymakers.
What began as inquiry at HP Futures rippled outward. The thinking was rigorous. The intent was human. And the questions that mattered most found their home here.
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.
The 2025 HP Futures report presented new research, case studies, and practical frameworks to help policymakers, educators, and EdTech leaders implement AI responsibly and equitably across education systems worldwide.
