You brought up equity. That’s where schools can make the difference. We cannot deny that all parents are not going to use an educational system like synthesis for various reasons.

I am a former educator and I can see the AI on the wall. Because of access to almost all information at our fingertips and no need to memorize, we need to analyze what kind of in person education we need. We see our kids so distracted and screen driven, but is this there problem or have they already adapted to the future…and educators haven’t caught up?

AI is about to teach a lot of children incorrect information. Everyone should carefully educate themselves about the intrinsic limits of these technologies when it comes to factual consistency (due to their reliance of statistical inference and confabulation).

Humans are not perfect at knowing everything either though

[@VitaliiVarbanets]

Amazing talk. One of the brightest on the topic and only 869 views. What a shame!

You guys should fly out Christopher Lafayette on the subject of Ai Education. He’s the best in the business.
