At the UN this week, discussions centered on preparing people for AI—but a deeper question is being ignored.
The global financial system still runs on foundations laid at Bretton Woods in 1944. AI, stablecoins, and tokenization are now forcing a rethink of how value moves.
Education faces an even bigger mismatch. We're trying to prepare people for an intelligence economy using a model designed for the industrial age. You can't upskill into the AI era on infrastructure built for a different century.
AI won't just require new courses—it will require rethinking what education is for: less memorization, more building. Less credential accumulation, more demonstrated capability. Less learning once at the start of life, more continuous learning throughout it.
The AI revolution won't just transform jobs. It should force us to redesign how humans learn.
