Education x AI Futures Workshop, with Plan A

Advanced AI is here, and it is up to all of us to take action toward a safe and thriving Artificial General Intelligence (AGI) future. In this interactive session, students, educators, and leaders from the education field spanning generations move through plausible AGI futures. We’ll workshop through worst-case scenarios and best-case outcomes for the field of education in the United States—informed by previous expert roundtables and deep research from RAND, Anthropic, the Council on Foreign Relations, and more. We will then translate that insight into action—what education leaders and students can do to both prevent catastrophic outcomes and to design for the best of what AGI could enable: a future where humanity and technology evolve together toward greater human flourishing. Coffee and pastries will be provided. Plan A is mobilizing business and civil society leaders to shape a safe and thriving AI future. Plan A convenes society's leaders through immersive workshops to prepare for AI futures. They work on two fronts: future proofing (planning for the worst cases), and future building (imagining the best cases), by asking what we actually want our future to look like. This work serves public benefit and is philanthropically backed—giving gives them the independence to test different approaches to driving action, building toward impact rather than a predetermined structure.
