  "summary": "The 2026 Korea Times Global Conference saw senior officials from QS and THE discuss the impact of AI on university rankings. While AI allows for a broader and more precise analysis of data, including skills and workforce readiness, senior officials emphasized that human judgment and real-world impact will remain crucial. Leigh Kamolins of QS noted that AI provides a stronger evidence base for rankings, but the ultimate value of universities should still be judged by human standards.",
