By PulseAugur Editorial · [2 sources] ·

Daniel Susskind's new book, "What Should My Children Do?", argues for embracing artificial intelligence in education, drawing parallels to the historical introduction of calculators. Susskind, an economist and AI ethics researcher, suggests that instead of fearing AI's potential to disrupt careers and work, educators and parents should teach students to learn alongside AI tools. He advocates for personalized learning with AI assistants and for professionals to adapt their skills to an AI-assisted future, rather than attempting to "future-proof" against an uncertain horizon.
