Enabling Human Capabilities for AI & Digitalisation
summary
Argument: digitalisation makes tasks easier but increases systemic complexity and risk, so education must build strategic capabilities not just skills. The German University Of Digital Science, less than a year old, pilots a university-as-a-service curriculum that mixes design thinking (problem/solution framing, rapid prototyping, iterative testing), technical literacy, systems thinking and learning-by-doing. The program aims for organizational anti-fragility, runs live projects and incremental pilots, and reports early iterative learnings but no large-scale proof of effect yet.
