The Profile of an AI-Ready Graduate highlights six essential human roles

Learner, Researcher, Synthesiser, Problem-Solver, Connector, and Storyteller. 

It outlines specific skills students need in order to use AI to thrive in each role. These are skills that teachers will need to model, and students will need the opportunity to practise, in order to develop proficiency by the time they graduate from high school or college.
