1. What knowledge and skills will still be relevant in 50 years’ time?
Raw, wild imagination—and the confidence to express your unique mind to the world. In an age when AI can reproduce existing knowledge, the capacity to imagine what does not yet exist may become one of humanity’s most valuable skills.
2. How will research work change when the majority of books are digitised and AI agents can quickly cross-reference facts and deliver ready-made results?
Research may increasingly mean going back to forgotten philosophy, neglected intellectual traditions, and foundational questions—and deeply questioning entrenched assumptions about reality, knowledge, and existence rather than simply retrieving information.
3. Which capabilities of the human brain are currently underestimated, and how can we develop them with the help of AI?
The ability to hold multiple contrasting ideas, perspectives, and identities simultaneously without descending into cognitive confusion or madness may be profoundly underestimated. The “multi-head attention” architecture of AI models could offer an intriguing inspiration for developing analogous forms of human cognition—a possible synthesis between Transformer architectures and the human brain.
4. How can we model personalised curricula using AI to suit individual needs?
If AI radically reduces the need for human economic participation, education may need to shift from preparing people primarily for employment toward enabling maximum political and civic participation—cultivating the next generation of social innovators, movement leaders, and architects of new forms of collective life.
5. Will we have to choose between the humanities and technical sciences in the future? Or can they be combined—and if so, how, given that the thinking styles of humanists and engineers tend to differ?
We can begin by recognizing mathematics as a language, alongside natural languages and programming languages. This opens the possibility of discovering or creating an entirely new form of language—perhaps currently considered science fiction or unimaginable—that could connect these modes of thought. Such a language might provide new affordances for the collective mind emerging between humans and human-like intelligence.
