1. The document discusses the need for social innovation and education reform to cope with the global crises of the 21st century caused by increasing technological complexity and societal changes.
2. It argues that humanity must guide its own evolution through developing collective consciousness and wisdom-based societies, as technological solutions alone will not be sufficient to manage complexity.
3. Key skills needed for the future include collaboration, creativity, lifelong learning, and developing a growth mindset. Education must shift to a learner-centered model and be available throughout life.

A Strategic Approach: GenAI in EducationPeter Windle
Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies such as Generative AI, Image Generators and Large Language Models have had a dramatic impact on teaching, learning and assessment over the past 18 months. The most immediate threat AI posed was to Academic Integrity with Higher Education Institutes (HEIs) focusing their efforts on combating the use of GenAI in assessment. Guidelines were developed for staff and students, policies put in place too. Innovative educators have forged paths in the use of Generative AI for teaching, learning and assessments leading to pockets of transformation springing up across HEIs, often with little or no top-down guidance, support or direction.
This Gasta posits a strategic approach to integrating AI into HEIs to prepare staff, students and the curriculum for an evolving world and workplace. We will highlight the advantages of working with these technologies beyond the realm of teaching, learning and assessment by considering prompt engineering skills, industry impact, curriculum changes, and the need for staff upskilling. In contrast, not engaging strategically with Generative AI poses risks, including falling behind peers, missed opportunities and failing to ensure our graduates remain employable. The rapid evolution of AI technologies necessitates a proactive and strategic approach if we are to remain relevant.

Social Innovation &
Education

2. Our work: not futurology
but future awareness & future-making
Foresight Fleet: world-largest ship-based “travelling” learning lab
developing future awareness, exploring collective futures and making
them real, running since 2012
Global Education Futures & Protopia Labs:
since 2014, a global vision building initiative that involved over 500 top
world educational experts from over 50 countries, converted into a
global movement of educational innovators & changemakers in 2016,
focused on rebuilding education for the new society (based on
Thrivability principles). This work is based on earlier Education
Foresight 2035 that runs since 2008
Skills Foresight 2030 & Atlas of Emerging Jobs:
vision of future of jobs from ca. 30 economic sectors, largest
international compendium of “jobs of tomorrow”, projects in Russia,
South Africa, Argentina, Armenia, Vietnam, Tunisia, Tanzania, etc.
Vision-driven growth of economic “sectors of tomorrow”
(e.g. NeuroNet: solutions based around brain-computer
communication networks) and future of cities
4. For the major part of human history, we were not
(too) different from other species on the planet
Tool use Animal husbandry / agriculture
Complex diversified societies Artistic creativity
7. Self-augmentation / self-guided evolution
of the species
Brain-computer-network interfaces:
augmented mind
Genome-editing (incl. CRISPR):
augmented body
9. Yes, all of this impacts ourselves: major rebuilding of
our society due to massive job destruction
“Over 2 billion jobs (roughly 50% of all jobs on the planet) will disappear by 2030”
(Frey, Osborn, 2013)
10. Yes, all of this impacts ourselves: growing polarities,
growing risks
11. Why are we so poor with cumulative crises:
accelerated growth of complexity
Acceleration of change is accompanied by growing complexity of technological and
social processes that produces new yet unresolved problems. A dominant share of
these “problems” faced by the humanity is created by choices earlier made by humans
themselves – from traffic jams and industrial pollution, to financial, political, and
environmental crises
Growing complexity of industrial manufacturing
to be solved by advanced (automated)
engineering systems
Growing complexity of mega-city traffic system
to be solved by advanced (automated) systems
of traffic monitoring & coordination
12. Snooks - Panov - Kurzweil curve:
moving towards Singularity?
Several researchers independently concluded that the humanity since its birth has been
constantly passing through systemic crises and responded to these crises with systemic
innovations that transformed its way of living (“phase transitions”). The time span between
crises has been decreasing with growth of society, and we are now experiencing the
exponential acceleration of crises rate, rapidly moving into the world of "permanent
revolution“.
14. Five top challenges of the 21st century
(ranked by the level of existential risk)
1. Preventing violent conflicts using WMDs (nuclear, nano, cyber
etc.), especially those that can be used by smaller groups,
capable of sufficiently damaging or destroying the majority of
population & vital infrastructure of the world society
2. Maintaining control over increasingly complex technological
environment (IT and IoT, energy generation, new materials,
biotech, neural technologies, etc.)
3. Overcoming negative effects of technological development,
including environmental, social, and psychological problems
4. Overcoming risk of complexity collapsing due to stagnation:
reserving momentum of socio-economic development by
maintaining motivation and competences of the population
5. Addressing issues of civilization’s long-term sustainable
coexistence with Nature
Sources: Moscow Technological Ethics Group, Institute of Ethics of Emerging Technologies
15. Socio-technical balance:
the sandwich of technologies
Technologies of ‘extraction’ from nature
Technologies of material production
Communication & Transport Infrastructure
Logistics / Economics
Institutes / Norms / Rules / Soft tech
Psycho-technologies
(including spirituality & religion)

17. Rate of transformation implies…
Our civilization has been very efficient at coping
with world’s problems through technologies
But it is very bad at keeping the pace with its own
solutions (Sorcerer’s Apprentice?)
The main threat (and the main challenge) lies
with the organization of our individual &
collective minds
The frontier of evolution of the humanity is thus
the self-guided evolution of consciousness
18. Coping with growing complexity?
Techno-socio-
sphere: an answer
& a source of
challenges
Self-improving Artificial
Intelligence to manage the
constantly increasing
complexity
Improving collective understanding
& collaboration capacity of human
groups through new modes of
(collective) consciousness
“Thrivability” or “Wisdom-Based Society”: shifting to “horizontal”, net-centric world
“working for 100% of humanity… without ecological damage or disadvantage of anyone”
(B. Fuller), implies involving everyone and all in a “revolution of consciousness”.
Technological advancement is necessary but secondary to the development of individual
and collective human potential.
“Silicon Valley solution”: technologies that may solve our problems, even if not massively
supported by people. The “big idea” is to achieve the breakthrough for a small group of
technological elites that will become super-humanity (transhumans)
19. Complexity /
scale of development /
size of civilization
Question #1: Will we be
able to deal with
increasingly complex &
volatile global society?
YES
NO
2015-2030
MAYBE Mosaic world (unequal
development with increasing
instability that leads to either
collapse or breakthrough)
NO
YES
Thrivable /
Wisdom Based
Society
Singularity (AI
to solve it all,
but not for all)
2035-2050
What world scenario are we living into?
Timeline 19
Question #2: Can we make the
world work for 100% of
population and acting to the
benefit of our planet?
Two key questions define the choice of global scenarios
Dark Ages or Death of Humanity
(collapse of complex civilization
due to internal fragility &
existential risks)
20. New methods of
coordination &
management (from
hierarchy to net-centric)
New ethics & new
(collective) mind
Sustainable interaction
with other species &
Planet
New practices and
ways of living for inter-
personal & intra-
personal thrivability
“Tuning into the Thrivability”
Tech environment (IT +
+ IoT + robotics + ..):
liberating from routine
& overcoming
complexity & making
us green again
Shifting towards the scenario of “Thrivable Society” requires the coherence of several
action vectors: changing model of production, managerial paradigm, relationship with
natural environment, habits of living, and (most fundamentally) the ethics and the
worldview that will enable all of the above. An impossible task? But humanity has
already accomplished such tasks several times in the past!
21. “Tuning into the Thrivability”: technologies
that establish foundation for the transition
Biotech and ecosystem design (new agro
industry, medicine, city environments, etc.)
“New” IT: clouds, AI, NeuroNet
New materials / 3D printing revolution
Robotics for work, transport, city, home
Healthcare: digital, personalization, prevention
Energy: autonomous / renewable + smart grid
Connectivity and interfaces
Humanity needs to move
towards a “package” of
new technologies that will
allow to create
environments for mass
scale (all-human)
cooperation, will reduce
the pressure of civilization
on Nature, and will provide
autonomization and
gradual re-biologization of
technosphere
22. “Tuning into the Thrivability”:
shift of social & psychological practices
Omni-present leadership & entrepreneurship
(business, social, cultural, institutional)
Lean & green, re-use, eco-cities
Mindfulness and authenticity practices
Net-centric coordination structures and
collective management of uncertainty
Change of family models:
reintegration on the new grounds
Post-finance that captures “human values”
Intertwining of life, work, play, and development
New practices of conflict mediation and peacemaking
But at the same time
we need to embrace
some of the
emerging social and
psychological
practices that will
make us more
adaptive to new
challenges and will
provide
opportunities for
happy and fulfilled
life in a world of
increasing complexity
23. Ethics of 21st century: values that guide us through
global evolutionary crisis
23
Evolutionary risk Values that help overcome it
Loss of collective control
over dangerous
technologies, incl. violent
conflicts & slow processes
that may destroy the
humankind & biosphere
• Life preservation & life creation
• Golden Rule of Ethics for communities
• Technological asceticism: withdrawal from
exploration of technological lines that have
high potential of destroying life
Stagnation that leads to
degradation of complex
society
• Experiment & innovation
• Trust & collaboration
• Embracing complexity
Loss of diversity that leads
to long-term lack of
resilience
• Embracing diversity & other-ness
• Horizontal / net-centric communications &
coordination structures
• Creating feedback loops
24. Working, living & meta-learning skills of the future
• Growth mindset: flexibility, adaptability, self-development
• Ability to learn / unlearn / relearn throughout life
24
Meta-learning
skills
Key working
skills
• Collaboration
• Creativity (incl. “right-brain” creativity)
• Problem- and opportunity oriented thinking (not critical thinking)
• Entrepreneurial skills: acting in uncertainty & taking responsibility
Multidisciplinary work (T-specialist to m-specialist)
• Empathy & emotional intelligence
• Multicultural + multi-lingual competencies
• IT competencies
• Working in distributed (IT enhanced) environments
• (for VUCA environments)
• “Ethics of responsibility” (social + environmental)
• Concentration & attention management
• “Information hygiene”
• Resilience & personal (physical / psychological) health management
• Personal relational skills, incl. mindful relations & parenting
• Conflict mediation & peacemaking
+ Living skills
25. The current educational model is flawed by design: it prepares people for the
past, not for the future!
• We cannot teach people to be creative by giving them standard tasks
• We cannot teach people to be collaborative by putting them in competition
against each other
• We cannot teach people to be lifelong learners if we deprive them of self-
exploration and courage to learn, if we blame them for mistakes
• We cannot teach people to be empathic / emotionally intelligent if we
remove emotions, in particular positive ones of joy, love & happiness, and
focusing on cognitive abilities only
• We cannot teach people to be growth-oriented if we are afraid of change
Educational processes and formats need to be redefined to enable
the development of 21 century workers / citizens / humans
What is How: adaptation of
education to future skill demand

Key transformations:
• There is no way to prepare for life in
the increasingly uncertain world
• (Thus) education is not about the
start of life, it is about all of life
• Education is not about getting a
professional skill, it is about living
through your life
• Nobody can own or control your
development & growth - but you. So
you need to learn to become your
own master, you need to learn how
to learn
• If learning is a lifetime journey, then
it is not about goals, it is about
quality of the process. Enjoy the way

28. Key areas of change in education: what regulators
& administrators should do
Industrial / national / international qualification & competence systems:
getting ready for self-guided lifelong learning, incl. lifelong ‘competence
passports’ / personal portfolios / unbundling of degrees etc.
Traditional education system
(schools / TVET / HE):
• rebuilding curriculum for 21
century skills (incl. collaborative
not competitive design of
education processes)
• opening to practical, socially
embedded, green-minded,
cross-generational learning
• teacher & learner(s) as partners
• learning is flipped
• new teacher skillset
Online learning:
• take over routine elements of
flipped school / university
• create opportunities for mobile 24/7
personalized learning
• integrate with game universes &
social media & professional networks
Urban / community learning:
• integrate opportunities for lifelong
learning & development (incl. family,
personal crises etc.)
• urban learning hubs for social
innovation & entrepreneurship
28
29. Last but not least: sense of urgency
Effects of technological, economic and social transformation may bring us into
a series of painful global crises within just next one or two decades:
• Information swamping or/and artificial intelligence beyond our
understanding
• Destruction of 60-70 % jobs in industries & industry-related sectors due to
automation & artificial intelligence
• Destruction of sectors and national economies dependent on non-
sustainable energy & materials
• Cumulative environmental problems (incl. climate change, industrial
pollution and destruction of biodiversity) that render large territories
uninhabitable: ‘climate refugees’, ‘water wars’, etc.
• Financial, political & military crises as a result of these massive
transformations
The answer to these global challenges is skills & knowledge that workers /
citizen / humans should acquire on the massive scale. To get these skills &
knowledge for our societies requires rebuilding, upgrading and expanding our
local, national and global educational eco-systems. 29
