Update Thanksgiving 2023
83.0 EconomistLearning logs experiences including future-back imagineering we have seen 40 years of cooperation with real teachers starting in new zealand; these clusters were concerened tranforming livelihoods 10 years ahead as any school system responsible for eg 10 years of a childs development needs to be
83.1 as of 2023 we dont know AI that is better than a good teacher or time-rich parent of kids up to 16
83.1b equally there are now many subjects from age 5 up - eg dance physical exercise drawing where an AI can help any teacher improve her class performance
83.2 ironically when it comes to professors/colleges we dont know any professor worth studying with unless she or he connects with best relevant ai - currently this means partnerships generally with a very few places though specifically wherever is best at ai
83.2b there is also confusion - these days if you have access to superchats/llms increasingly most people dont need to be great mathematicians or even great coders to be very competent at making use of ai that their expertise/jobs needs most;
83.2c however what always be a valuable design skill is a kind of pattern analysis that is often somewhere half between maths and architecturally seeing/blueprinting a discipline
84.1a of course there are nuances to this and the problem of what sort of digital access is needed in different nations or regions; much ai can now be used the same way you use a mobile app but not necessarily created that way
84.1b there is also a problem that powerful old people may not want to hear that they are now putting a lot at risk of they dont help everyone see worlds ai can see; please note when we use word ai we mean all technologies -please see condoleezza (hoover at stanford) report on top 10 techs multiply ai and each others usability; and eg ask her teams if you need more specific context risk/foundations checking
84.1c one of the big things: all over the world the most work that needs to be done is locally, communally- ai can be very good at helping teams serve communities; paradoxically old schools spent very little time on team as opposed to individual attainment; in this regard every teacher needs to demand change in school processes; fortunately ai can be very good at helping with that attending to sort of adminstration transformation
chris.macrae@yahoo.co.uk I am happy to offer a free 30 minute zoom or whatsapp -who wants to discuss the above openly; I realise in some regards I am over-simplifying and enjoy learning what is stopping people from uniting around very good ai- see my views on where education could be written 40 years ago after my first 10 years studying computers in education and regarding societal needs across many countries with database tech supplied my MIT/harvard; in these 2020s, its not the tech or the youth that is stopping personalised learning it is in some sense that elders have not attended to the personalised learning agency everyone could now have - see eg recent changes of views on this eg bill gates
