The Peregrine Collective is pleased to host a salon on the role of the university in preparing people for an evolving economy amidst AI disruption. We are convening an interdisciplinary group of stakeholders across academia and technology who will explore how the structures and incentives of higher education correspond to the skills necessary to confront a dynamic economy and foster our unique human capabilities.

​By discerning the priorities of universities — from the pursuit of truth to individual formation to returns to society — we will gain clarity on how it can properly respond to changes brought by AI and further democratic values and the common good. We will analyze the changing skills employers are looking for, question what values those criteria reflect, and the implications for who becomes more powerful as a result.
