Hi Terry, I appreciate your analysis as we transition to new ways of knowing and being.
When you noted that "learning how to seek truth collectively again may be our most vital skill," I thought about what I heard in a grad class on the difference between public education and public schooling. The former is an instrument for democracy and generating citizens, assuming teachers are empowering students to be critical and collaborative consumers of information. The latter is designed to replicate inequalities.
To arrive at a more desired and hopeful state as a profession, we need educational leaders to guide us back to the original intent of public education. Teaching students how to navigate affluent spaces and communities and use them to their advantage seems like a necessary skill. "How can A.I. and other technologies can support learners in these endeavors?" seems like a critical question.
Definitely, Matt. Turning the tables by teaching the use of AI as a tool to reposition high-poverty students with the wherewithal to pursue happiness, too.
Excellent overview and deeply troubling.

Brilliant, wide-reaching commentary on AI and the state of "knowledge" and learning. Thank you.
Thank you, Micaela. I appreciate your affirmation and hope it has even a small impact for the good of children.
