1. Focus 1: Focus on Policy: Shaping the Future of AI Governance

​• How can regions with fewer resources or less-developed digital infrastructure avoid being left behind in the AI talent race?

​• What types of incentives or policy tools (e.g., grants, tax benefits, infrastructure investment) are most effective in building up regional digital and AI ecosystems?


​2. Focus 2: Focus on Educators: Building the Pipeline for AI Talent

​• How should academia, government, and the private sector adjust policy, training programs, and credential systems to keep pace with AI?

​• What role should lifelong learning and continuous reskilling play in national workforce strategies?


​3. Focus 3: Focus on Knowledge Workers / Learners: Empowering the Next Generation

​• How do generative AI’s workforce impacts differ from previous technological disruptions, and what does this mean for job transitions?

​​• How can organizations and educators prepare entry-level professionals to not only meet the challenges but also seize the opportunities of the AI era?
