We are entering the intelligent age - an era shaped by AI, automation, and digital transformation. Technology is no longer just a tool; it influences how we think, learn, and make decisions. But as we embrace innovation, we must ask: what does it mean to remain truly human?
AI is redefining intelligence, but human intelligence is more than computation – it is creative, emotional, and deeply relational. As technology reshapes work and learning, will it empower or displace? Will it amplify bias or challenge it? Will it divide us further or strengthen human connection?
Learning is the key to ensuring technology strengthens, rather than weakens, human connection. In an age of disinformation and division, how do we cultivate critical thinking, ethical leadership, and emotional resilience? How do we uphold empathy, privacy, responsibility, and the duty of care?
OEB 2025 invites educators, leaders, and innovators to explore how we keep the intelligent age a deeply human one - where technology empowers, learning inspires, and people remain at the heart of progress.
