“Wisdom is welcome wherever it comes from.”
We're about to make the exact same mistake we made 20 years ago.

Back then, schools replaced computer science with "how to use Word and Excel" courses. Result? A generation left out of creating the technologies we now depend on.

Everyone's asking "what can AI do for education?"

Wrong question.

The better question: How will students' perceptions of AI shape what they actually learn?

China just dropped a neuromorphic AI bombshell.

Their "Spiking Brain" model mimics actual neurons, firing only when needed, not constantly burning energy like traditional AI.

The results? 100x faster processing, 89% energy savings, and it could run on your phone.

While Alibaba plans to spend $53B+ building AGI infrastructure, the real question isn't "how much computing power?" but "what happens when AI works WITH humans instead of FOR them?"

The future is less about corporations controlling ASI and more about authentic AI-human collab.
