As computer and AI-driven systems become more powerful, the boundaries between human intention and machine-driven action often blur. This raises critical questions about how to protect and, ideally, elevate human agency in an age of technological acceleration and expanding automation. 

UNESCO is organizing a full-day, in-person event at its headquarters in Paris on 24 January 2025 aiming to:

• Examine new possibilities offered by AI, especially for teaching, learning, assessment and educational administration.
• Promote the development of critical AI literacies by equipping educators and learners with the competencies needed to understand, use and influence AI technologies, in line with the UNESCO AI competency frameworks for teachers and students.
• Ensure that AI complements, rather than replaces, the essential human elements of learning, including the cultivation of in-person relationships and emotional intelligence.

To ensure maximum reach and inclusivity, the plenary sessions will be livestreamed, and interpretation will be provided in English and French.
