In an era where artificial intelligence and automation are becoming commonplace, “how can we educate our students to be ready for the disruptive changes brought by the fourth industrial revolution,” asks 91�Թ� President Meric Gertler .

The answer, he says, is to prepare them to be resilient and to strengthen competencies they can use throughout their career, which include: “capacities for communication, creative problem-solving, teamwork and emotional intelligence.” 

President Gertler spoke with the Seoul-based publication during a recent trip to Korea about the intersection of technology and education. In the article, he calls himself a “techno-optimist.”

“The history of technological development shows that the very forces that disrupt the economy also create new employment opportunities and whole new industries that we can’t predict,” he says.
