AI and Education: What we risk when AI becomes the teacher
AI’s advance has raised questions on how we educate and, more fundamentally, how we value education itself. As intelligence becomes increasingly abstracted from humans, we must ask whether AI is threatening the processes that make education meaningful.
Education is not merely the transfer of information, solutions, or data. It is knowledge shaped by experience and interpretation. A teacher’s knowledge is situated in their own perspective, and students encounter not just content, but a way of knowing.
I explore how AI’s value lies in its augmentation, rather than replacement, of education. It is critical that metrics don’t override experience, and that convenience does not overtake struggle. My work focuses on the ethical questions at the intersection of AI, intelligence, and education.
ADHD in Children: A Disadvantage or a Hidden Advantage in Education?
When we hear “ADHD,” the first thought is often about academic challenges. But is it truly a disadvantage, or could it reveal unique strengths in children? ADHD traits—like inattention, impulsivity, and restlessness—are human behaviors everyone exhibits to some degree. The real question may not be about the child, but whether our education systems and expectations are aligned with how children think and learn. By reframing ADHD, we can see opportunities for creativity, energy, and self-awareness, helping children thrive both in and out of the classroom.
