Over the next decade, demand for knowledge workers will continue to diminish.
But not at the highest level.
Education is still critical, and AI will augment our learning journeys.
👇 Let me explain.
For the next decade (maybe shorter), you can think of AI as "statistics on steroids."
It is constantly predicting responses based on all the data it has been fed previously.
Knowing this, the flaw becomes apparent. At this time in history, AIs have a hard time with situations they have never seen before.
In 2016, AI was said to have surpassed human Go players by defeating the world Go champions.
However, just this year, some amateurs decided to try to beat these top bots by making "poor" moves the AI had never seen before, and they were able to consistently win 14/15 games.

Standford Artificial Intelligence Research in Education (AIRE) director Dr. Li Jiang says:
"Humans are better at zero to one"
Knowing this, we need to continue to focus on education because we need to be the ones to push AI into the next phase, where it can be better than humans at creating things that have never been seen before.
