One of the main roles of the modern education system is to create the competencies that allow people to participate in the economic sphere of life. Education, in this interpretation, is a major driver of economic productivity and competitiveness, and educational policies are framed in the context of economic growth.
          AI technologies in education promise to be a “fourth education revolution," aiming to provide every learner, wherever they are in the world, with access to high-quality, personalized, and comprehensive lifelong learning.
          There is no longer much talk about academic or university certificates, but rather about skills, which will change the concept of a certificate versus a job as it was known. AI will shift the demand for skills in favour of cognitive and social-behavioural skills, which are largely formed in the early years of life. Critical thinking and analysis skills, as well as problem solving, will be in increasing demand, along with self-management skills, such as active learning, resilience, working under pressure and flexibility.
          It is estimated that 65% of students aged 12 will work in jobs that do not currently exist, which requires a qualitative shift in education policies, the development of education observatories, and tracking of labor market needs to ensure dynamic relationships and feedback between the education sector and labor markets.
