The Founder Spirit

Feb 25 2024 • 26 mins

The following episode was recorded during the 2023 Villars Symposium held by the Villars Institute, where we recorded several short interviews over a period of three days. The Founder Spirit Podcast is proud to be a partner of the Villars Institute, a nonprofit foundation focused on accelerating the transition to a net-zero economy and restoring planetary health.

Join us in this episode of The Founder Spirit as we sit down with Subra Suresh, Founder and President of the Global Learning Council, a platform committed to advancing the use of technology to improve the outcomes for learners, and former Director of the National Science Foundation in the United States. Subra shares the role of technology in providing access to education, explores the development and impact of artificial intelligence and the challenges of governance and decision-making. He emphasizes the need for core skills such as quantitative thinking, probabilistic decision-making and effective communication in the rapidly changing world.

What are the key challenges and the core skillsets we need to develop given the rapid development of artificial intelligence and how can we provide access to education for over 250 million children around the world?
