I think education is going to evolve in this fashion:
1. Education boards will realize that technology needs to be better embraced so they increase tech funding and begin enhancing classrooms with AI.
2. One particular AI software outperforms the rest and becomes the de facto education tool.
3. The software becomes advanced enough that human teachers become supplementary. Most educators are laid off but the best of them start careers as tutors for wealthy children.
4. The company who developed the software receives permission to begin rapidly constructing "campuses" -- circular smart-cities that provide everything necessary to nurture the next generation of academics. Using the metrics their software has provided, they pick the most capable students and offer them permanent residency. For students below a certain age, the campuses censor communication with the outside world, fearing that they might be negatively influenced.
5. The campuses become the fastest innovators of the modern world by hoarding all the talent. They become so powerful that each campus houses its own military unit composed of a robotics and cyber intelligence division.
6. Governments around the world become puppet states as the campuses continue expanding. The campuses are officially recognized as the most powerful political entities.
7. Eventually, we're either wiped out by some genius psychopath who exploits a security flaw in a system, or we start enhancing our bodies biologically/technologically until we're no longer human.
Anyone know of a book that describes the above?
- jelliclesfarm 8y agoNo. But you must write about it. ETA: I especially like #4.
- jelliclesfarm 8y agoI recently saw a studio ghibli spin-off movie on Netflix called Mary and the witch’s flower(based on 70s, my little broomstick by Mary Stewart)...it’s about a girls accidental discovery of a magic school. Anyways..one of the founders is Dr.Dee(Elizabethan mathematician/alchemist/magician)...and I thought it would be pretty cool to have a school where holographic representations of various historical characters or scientists or animals can teach classes and concepts. Gamification of education won’t be a bad idea. I mean..we could do that, right? And it’s scalable.
