You asked, "What do you think could fix the global education system?" I was interested to read elsewhere that, "Khan Academy believes that AI and Large Language Models hold the potential to transform education." My own children are just out of high school, but I've been struck how much time their peers spend watching online videos, playing computer games, and using social media. Clearly, children enjoying spending a lot of time on screens and they learn how to use their devices to play games and communicate. Seems like Khan Academy and other people could figure out how to combine social media, video games, AI and education in a way that allows AI systems to teach literacy and numeracy skills at very low cost globally. Perhaps time in school can be better focused on developing healthy eating and exercising habits, improving social interaction skills, and encouraging empathy and conflict resolution.
