ChatGPT and Education: How AI is Revolutionizing Learning
McKinsey predicts that 375 million jobs will be displaced by automation and AI by 2030. Many of the jobs that today’s kids will be doing in the future don’t exist yet. Furthermore, the advancements of AI is starting to fundamentally change many aspects of education, such as personalized learning, challenging current assessment models, student engagement and administrative tasks.
These ideas are only the tip of the iceberg when it comes to how we need to adapt our kids’ education and equip them with the tools to not only survive but thrive in the 21st century. But how? Should all kids learn to code AI? What can schools do? What other resources are available to you as parents? What advice is accurate and trustworthy, and what information should parents ignore? These are the questions Pulkit Agarwal, Stanford Alumni and CEO of Strive, will grapple with in this event.
