Me, myself, and AI: from bricks and mortar to bits and meta
The rise of AI is the rise of humanity, allowing us to comprehend the universe to a hitherto unattainable level of detail and depth of understanding. Humanity has always sought to improve its situation through technological advances. And with each advancement has come concerns for ourselves as a species.
AI and Education will become synonymous within a decade: the question is whether or not we embrace this revolution.
Don’t fear AI; fear what we may become without it.
