It’s a busy time. I am just back from Stockholm, where I was a guest speaker at the Sana summit on what’s happening in AI right now. While Google and Open AI dominate the reporting, smaller companies, such as Sana, are breaking through on AI assistants that will work for businesses of any size and, more interesting to me, personalised education.
An AI assistant is never impatient, tired, too busy, or on leave. While these systems rapidly increase productivity, life is about more than productivity. Teaching our children must go far beyond utility, finding the joy of discovery, learning and problem-solving. The best teachers do this, but, unless classrooms are small and the school has the resources to treat children as individuals rather than SATs units, precious years are easily lost to boredom – or, what’s worse, to not understanding what is being taught.
