  1. It is hard for most folks to pay for something when their child can get "free" education, free breakfast, free lunch, and a free babysitter. The teacher unions will also fight hard to keep their jobs.

  2. Before you proceed to education, make sure you know your territory appropriately in the space of precautions against the insufficiencies of the knowledge and the deficiencies of human perceptions. Education is the most sensitive and misunderstood notion that I know of ! Too many interest are fighting over it to gain a political advantage !
    Start with health, not education. A good clinician AI won't be swayed by emotions. Doctors are so pressured from all directions and so afraid they are often unable to properly express diagnostic and prognostics, no offense to them, I'd be scared too. That's because they are not respected by the medical establishment which is too political involved and forget health issues.
    As long as administration solutions are admonition on medical personnel, THERE WILL BE NO CHANGE !

  3. I'm a university professor (Jesuit university in the Midwest) and can report that a significant proportion of my students use ChatGPT or some other AI program to write their papers for them. It's to the point where many of us have now concluded that giving written work outside of class is meaningless. There's detection software that flags AI-generated content, but it's not entirely accurate (gives false positives and negatives), and students find ways around it. So, while I agree that there's much potential for AI in education, my experience has made me far less sanguine about it than Mr. Khan.
