𝐀𝐛𝐨𝐮𝐭 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐋𝐞𝐜𝐭𝐮𝐫𝐞:
As Artificial Intelligence accelerates toward agentic autonomy in 2026, the global academy faces an existential "pivot point." For centuries, the university has functioned as a repository for explicit knowledge, the facts, formulas, and logic that can be codified and transmitted. However, as the marginal cost of explicit information plummets toward zero, the university’s traditional value proposition is collapsing. Ultimately, we must move from externalizing human knowledge to train AI, to internalizing machine insights to enrich human intuition. The mission of the future university is to ensure that in an age of automated thought, the "Ghost in the Machine" remains human.

𝐒𝐩𝐞𝐚𝐤𝐞𝐫: Michael Schindhelm — Author, filmmaker, curator, cultural consultant, quantum chemist
Michael Schindhelm is known for his multifaceted contributions to the arts. He has served as the general director of Theater Basel and Opera Foundation Berlin, and between 2009–2012 he was involved in the master planning of the West Kowloon Cultural District. His latest projects include the documentary on Hong Kong's art scene In the Mood for Art (2023), and the exhibitions The End of Aging (2024) on longevity, and After the Deluge (2025) on climate change.

Professor Rachel Sterken — Associate Professor of Philosophy, HKU
