Children go through the traditional educational system where they are taught to excel through memorisation and regurgitation in order to be employable by society to follow orders. It’s no wonder that the majority of people lack creativity as adults. Whether this is a good thing or a bad thing is something that will be discussed for as long as people get educated. However, with the advent of artificial intelligence who are capable of being the robots that education creates, that conversation could be coming to an end.
Will artificial intelligence change education? I believe the answer is yes. I think the future of education is to teach children and young adults how to embrace their creativity, critical thinking, and emotional intelligence, which are skills that are unique to humans and that artificial intelligence will never possess but will always be needed by society. I’ll leave you with one final thought.
The creativity of children when harnessed with the knowledge of AI could lead humanity on an interesting journey.
