Two agendas for AI future in education — and why clarity is essential
India is entering an ‘AI in education’ moment. The question is not whether AI will touch classrooms and public education systems; it will. The question is whether AI strengthens equity, agency, and learning outcomes — or quietly widens gaps that India is already working hard to close.
That challenge came into focus at the recent conclave at IIT Madras on ‘Strengthening Human Capital for the AI Era’, convened by the Centre for Responsible AI (CeRAI) and partners from research and industry, as a pre-summit event leading up to the IndiaAI Impact Summit 2026. The message worth carrying beyond conference halls is simple: if AI is reshaping society, the real infrastructure is human capability — not just tools.
