Artificial Intelligence (AI) is reshaping industry at an unprecedented pace. Higher Education Institutions play a multifaceted role in educating graduates — but how are they addressing the evolving demands of the labour market, particularly in the area of AI skills?
This event offers a platform for open dialogue between academia and business, bringing together stakeholders to exchange perspectives, align expectations, and identify future skill requirements.
Students, educators and business representatives alike are invited to explore the evolving conversation on the role of AI in shaping the future of education and employment.
