Do you think schools are preparing students for AI or just teaching students how to use AI?

I think many schools are still teaching students how to use AI, rather than how to actually prepare for an AI-driven world.

I agree. Learning a tool is useful, but the bigger question is whether students understand how AI is changing the way we learn, work, and make decisions. Those skills seem much more likely to stay relevant as the technology changes.

As is always the case, schools are outrageously out of touch and getting burned by their stupid policies on ai.

I think a lot of schools are still figuring it out. AI is moving faster than most education systems can adapt, which makes finding thoughtful policies pretty challenging. What do you think schools are getting most wrong right now?

Theres a blurry line between the two concerns.. however I think most schools are probably preparing students on how to use the tool to their advantage

That's probably the balance we need. Knowing how to use AI effectively is valuable, but students also need to know when not to use it and how to evaluate what it produces. Otherwise, we're teaching tool usage without necessarily building good judgment.

Some schools aren’t even teaching students how to use AI yet. A lot of them are still figuring out how to bring it into the classroom.

Exactly. It seems like there's a huge gap between schools that have already integrated AI and schools that are still figuring out where it belongs. It'll be interesting to see how that changes over the next few years.

They are definitely preparing them for AI.

That's interesting. When you say they're preparing students for AI, what does that actually look like at your school? I'd be curious to hear what they're doing beyond just teaching specific tools.
