I work in retail and totally get what he means about theater skills helping with customer service. improv classes changed my game!

[@shastahasta4563]

I'm a programmer and the idea of using AI as a collaborator is game-changing. Already brainstorming new project ideas!

[@mattgruic]

The example of cave paintings being immersive learning is so cool!

[@bethanybutzerthesurfer]

This is actually so interesting and makes me think about how learning/teaching styles have evolved over time.

[@ErinKalshaw]

As a teacher, I'm both excited and nervous about AI in the classroom. His ideas are intriguing, but implementation seems daunting.

[@patricklynchphd]

We have a ways to go for certain. This week at my university, we are hosting the EFMD Global Americas conference at our Hult Boston campus. Among the fascinating panels, consensus is that AI is here, growing fast, and now we need to embrace its benefits while also building on the unique value that humans (individuals, teams) bring to an organization or to a classroom. Starting small with a few lessons is a great step and, perhaps surprisingly, the AI bots can be used to help design these lessons I speak to in the talk based on learning objectives for classes.

Loved hearing the bit about 97 million new jobs being created, especially that they'll be based on creativity!

[@xoxo_sushi]

I had no idea about trauma affected teens having a tougher time in traditional learning environments... definitely makes sense of some of my experiences at school

[@thegutcheck]

I've tried VR training at work and it was incredible. Can definitely see how this could transform education too.

[@suminkim346]

Honestly I think the whole role of AI should be to do the logistic/analytic stuff and let us be as creative as we were always meant to be!

[@patricklynchphd]

Agree! And the research supports this. I recently shared a post on my personal channel @patricklynchphd about the 4 faces of AI. As you said, especially initially, AI is stronger at analytics freeing us up to flex our creativity!

[@guidolazzaro1396]

I think part of the issue is that students have so much access to high tech in their social/leisure time but when it comes to school things haven't really changed all that much

[@patricklynchphd]

Strongly agree! While I have empathy, it's time for instructors and school systems to evolve and explore. Many of these tools can enhance learning fulfilling our educational missions better than before.

So many ways to explore and shape this future.
