Essayist of the Open Dialogue from Mexico to explain how to transform education in the age of neural networks

New technologies can be reliable assistants or dangerous competitors. To avoid falling behind in the race with neural networks, humanity must already begin to rethink its approach and find new opportunities in education. This will be the focus of a talk by Homar Sánchez-Olguín, Vice President for Innovation at 4tools in Mexico, at the II Open Dialogue "The Future of the World. A New Platform for Global Growth". The event will take place from 27 to 29 April at the National Centre RUSSIA.

"I believe that teaching skills alone is no longer enough. We need to develop cognitive capital — the ability of a person to grow and evolve alongside AI, becoming its partner rather than its competitor. As entry-level positions are disappearing from the labour market, the education system and the state must prepare us to become specialists from the very beginning of our careers," said Homar Sánchez-Olguín.

The essayist will also present his vision of how multipolar states can turn the AI revolution into human evolution through more thoughtful public investment.

The event at the National Centre RUSSIA will bring together participants from all continents to discuss key global development trends. This year, 104 authors from 43 countries advanced to the in-person stage of the Open Dialogue following interviews. The large-scale three-day programme will combine expert discussions, presentations by the authors of the best essays from across the world, and informal networking.

The initiative is implemented by the National Centre RUSSIA in partnership with the Centre for Cross-Industry Expertise "Third Rome" with the support of the Presidential Executive Office of Russia. Registration for the II Open Dialogue "The Future of the World. A New Platform for Global Growth" is open until 26 April.
