Technology & Education
We live in an extraordinary era. Technology transforms every aspect of our lives, and we are witnessing it firsthand.
Education rests on three foundations: what we teach, how we teach it, and the tools we use to teach and learn. Content. Pedagogy. Technology. Computers and the internet revolutionized content delivery — they made knowledge accessible, but left pedagogy untouched. We still teach largely as we did before screens arrived.
AI has the potential to change this. It can adapt to a learner's pace, give immediate feedback, and identify gaps in understanding that human instructors miss at scale. Most importantly, it makes one-on-one instruction economically viable for the first time in human history. The road is long and winding — but the work at this intersection matters now.
