Possibility of Agentic AI and Future of Education

 

Today’s educational landscape is undergoing an unprecedented transformation amid the rapid evolution of artificial intelligence. While AI of the past merely responded to human inputs as a passive tool, emerging agentic AI functions as an autonomous agent that perceives situations, makes judgments, and executes actions independently. Education is now called to proactively lead this transformation and design the future.

 

In this context of educational transformation, the Taejae Future Education Forum seeks to discover new possibilities where technological autonomy and human agency evolve and harmonize. This forum serves as a global platform for co-designing an educational future where humanity and technology co-exist in balance. Moving beyond binary thinking that separates humanity from technology, we will share concrete strategies and case studies on how to integrate and harmonize these elements in educational practice.

 

This book is based on keynote addresses, special lectures, workshops, and other sessions delivered by participants in the 3rd Taejae Future Education Forum, held in November 2025 under the theme “Agentic AI in Education: Possibility and Practice.” We hope that the strategies and cases introduced by experts from various fields, including educators, policymakers, and technology developers, will offer meaningful points of reflection for those considering the future of education in the age of AI.
