What is AI literacy? Why is it important? How can policymakers foster training in AI literacy? Join us on 24 April for a discussion with practitioners and policymakers about the importance of fostering general AI literacy, alongside AI professionals. Speakers will highlight real-world programmes that are successfully equipping workers across the OECD with a deeper understanding of AI. A dynamic panel discussion will explore the challenges faced when designing and implementing initiatives, as well as the incentives policymakers can provide to encourage greater participation in training. Speakers: Glenda Quintini, Head of Division, Skills and Future Readiness; Elif Bahar, Labour Market Economist; Marjolijn Moens, Research Officer.

As AI tools advance, educators and policymakers are grappling with key questions: can these tools be used to support student’s creative thinking, or do they risk limiting skills and independence?In the lead-up to World Creativity and Innovation Day, this webinar will explore whether AI can help learners apply subject knowledge in innovative ways, or if it encourages dependency and superficial engagement. Beyond the classroom, we’ll also consider the ethical, regulatory, and equity implications of AI in education—who benefits, who is left behind, and how can we ensure these tools enhance rather than undermine human creativity and expertise?Speakers include:• Todd Lubart, Professor of Psychology, Université Paris Cité• Kim van Broekhoven, Assistant Professor, Educational Sciences, Erasmus University Rotterdam• Anil R. Doshi, Assistant Professor of Strategy and Entrepreneurship, UCL School of ManagementModerated by Stéphan Vincent-Lancrin, Senior Analyst and Deputy Head of Division, OECD Directorate of Education and Skills
