n the transition to a digital era, the main challenges faced by G20 countries are reaping the benefits of AI and related technological advances to improve educational processes in the classroom and at the system level; preparing students for new skillsets for increasingly automated economies and societies. Digital technologies such as artificial intelligence (AI), the Internet of Things (IoT) and other advances in information and computer technology (ICT) provide opportunities to improve the education process. The education technology industry, often simply referred to as ‘EdTech’, is growing, with massive investments in countries such as Europe, China, the United States and India. It develops a wide range of digital solutions for education institutions and stakeholders, from online platforms to robots and smart devices. The use of digital technologies increases both the production and value of data, creating new opportunities to improve education and education policies, but also new challenges. Education systems have started to change their curriculum and skills requirements and put a stronger emphasis on skills for innovation and citizenship in a digital era.
