Building on the success of the inaugural ASEAN Stakeholder Summit on Generative AI for Education held in May 2024, the ASEAN Summit 2025 aims to amplify and advance the critical discourse on leveraging generative AI in education across the region. The 2024 event set a strong foundation by convening thought leaders, policymakers, educators, and technologists from ASEAN member states to collaboratively address the challenges and opportunities presented by generative AI. Key insights and actionable strategies emerged, emphasizing the need for regional cooperation and innovation in deploying AI to enhance educational systems.

The 2025 event will elevate these discussions by transforming from the intimate roundtable format of the inaugural summit into a dynamic, multi-track conference. This evolution reflects a commitment to fostering deeper engagement, wider participation, and more comprehensive exploration of generative AI’s transformative potential. Featuring keynote speeches from global experts, parallel sessions for academic paper presentations, interactive workshops, and policy dialogues, the conference aims to build on prior achievements while expanding its scope to include practical implementations, innovative research, and strategic collaborations.

By bringing together a diverse mix of stakeholders, including government representatives, educators, researchers, and industry leaders, the ASEAN Summit 2025 seeks to establish a platform for not just dialogue, but actionable outcomes. It will aim to align efforts across ASEAN to harness generative AI as a catalyst for inclusive, equitable, and future-ready education, while addressing key issues such as ethical considerations, infrastructure readiness, and educator capacity-building. Through this evolution, the conference will serve as a cornerstone event for ASEAN’s collective pursuit of educational excellence in the era of AI.

We are thrilled to have you all with us, and we look forward to a stimulating and productive summit. Thank you for your participation, and we wish you all a wonderful and insightful experience at the 2nd ASEAN Stakeholder Summit on Generative AI for Education.
