The Royal Society of Arts hosts the inaugural Lord David Blunkett Lecture, an exploration of learning and education in an era of rapid technological transformation. As artificial intelligence reshapes not just education but work, creativity and decision-making itself, fundamental questions arise about knowledge, skills and human potential.
Lord Blunkett, a prominent figure in British public life, draws on decades of engagement with education and opportunity to examine what learning might mean in 2026 and beyond. Rather than merely adapting to change, he considers how we can equip people to actively shape it. The evening unfolds as a dynamic conversation with a special guest, weaving together personal insight, ambitious ideas and fresh thinking on education, creativity, technology and society's future.
