I’ve read several of your articles and I’m intrigued as a homeschooler.

I have one pressing question, and I’ll admit that I may be dense asking it, HOW? The name of the article is “How AI will transform education…” but I haven’t read the answer yet.

How, EXACTLY, will AI educate children?

I’ve tried this path. AI don’t provide a pedagogical innovation. It’s the old concept: sit, be quiet and get what adults prepared to you.

First off, I am obsessed with this concept, have been for a few years now and love what you and your team are doing!

With all new tech / inventions, price inevitably has to start high, which I know is the case with Alpha AI. Overtime, economies of scale kick in and prices become more afforable and then the masses can adopt.

My question: do you have any predictions on the factors that will drive down prices in this sector and how quickly do you think this will be an affordable option for the masses?

I have 5 kids from 5-16 and it kills me I can't have all of them leave public education for this immediately. It is absolutely the right model and I am certain the future of our education. In fact, I am excited for when the AI gets to know the kids overtime and starts suggesting and adapting the fields of study based on their interests and aptitude. So much time would be saved and they would become experts so much earlier.

I am absolutely enthralled with the notion that through distinctly non-human technological developments, we are able to find our own deeper humanity more efficiently and more clearly than ever. Great post!

Yeah it's Amazing and exciting but what about those children who are living in remote areas ? Who have not the access of internet? How can we teach in their Regional language?

I am Mohd Suhail From India , 23 year old Student of Masters in Geography. I also feel suffocated in this traditional education . I completed my all education in my small village during this I feel there was not good teachers they were not equipped with good skills , in graduation and post-graduation I feel they are not very experts in their domain, the were not able to explain everything in very simple way . That's why I also want this in India . Because this will be very useful for students because in remote areas teachers are not very well skilled , they haven't leadership skills .

I am very interested in this Mam , but it's not affordable for Indian Students, because in India most of the population in remote in rural areas have 500$ to 600$ average annual income.

How can we make this affordable for those who are not financially capable?
