This year, the HP Futures initiative, developed by HP in partnership with the Global Learning Council and T4 Education, focused on the use of Artificial Intelligence (AI) in education today, and the role this transformative technology can play in tomorrow’s schools and universities.

While many countries are launching AI taskforces and piloting measures, no region or institution has yet unveiled a universally effective, tried-and-tested AI in Education implementation approach. At HP, we believe now is the time for specialist voices to come together and share their expertise with a view to helping create enhanced, AI-powered schools of tomorrow. 

HP Futures 2025 convened 100 global education and policymaking experts for a unique gathering of perspectives on how to deliver equitable education for all in the AI experience era. 

Over the course of many in-depth roundtable sessions and one-on-one deliberations, we developed a set of actionable recommendations for policymakers, sector leaders and educators looking to implement AI in diverse education settings.

Key Recommendations:

  • Establish a mandatory Global AI in Education Charter.
  • Ensure that AI should fundamentally augment and not replace teachers. 
  • Give students a formal seat in AI governance and policy design.
  • Urgently ensure inclusive AI adoption strategies are created to prevent the AI era deepening educational divides, and guarantee baseline, equitable access to core LLM-based services for schools. 
  • Create policy that ensures educators are consulted in the development of any widely deployed AI tools, and that technologies rolled out in schools have clearly defined educational objectives.
  • Overhaul traditional curricula to ensure they centre on lifelong skill-building and analytical, creative, and human-centred skills, rather than age-based knowledge milestones.
  • Reshape assessment to be more listening and public speaking-focused (viva-like) in-classroom, while taking into account the use of AI outside the classroom and in jobs.
  • Ensure that “friction” remains in the learning system to protect students’ learning and job market-readiness. 
  • Urgently commission national “AI-readiness baseline” surveys before honing AI in Education policy or procurement.
  • Ensure education policy is “live” and reactive, with mandatory annual policy refresh cycles to ensure that state school systems and policies keep pace with AI. 
  • Urgently ensure that all policymakers, school and university leaders involved in setting AI policy go through rapid “AI literacy training” that undergoes continuous review.
  • Deliver AI upskilling and professional development services for all educators across K-12 and higher education.

“AI has the power to deliver personalised, high-quality learning to billions; but realising that promise requires responsible and effective adoption. As technology advances faster than policies and institutions can keep pace, education must evolve now to prepare students for an AI-driven future.”
