And we enforce that.
If you don't get good grades, you don't advance.
These things matter for getting into college, or whatever comes afterwards, or an apprenticeship program.
And so we build the incentives we need to do these things.
Given that we have control of people in the education system,
Education is sort of a solvable problem.
Like we have some really good evidence now that AI tutors are good for learning.
The same team, the research team out of Penn actually, that found that AI hurt learning if you just let students use AI and say, you know, use it to learn.
Students thought they learned, they didn't learn.
But when you build an AI tutor, you actually get very large impact
and improvement in outcome.
So I mean, the end state looks like something we've already known from the pedagogy research to do, which is outside of class you'll have AI tutors.
And I don't know about classes in Europe, but in the US increasingly students are assigned this kind of work where they're asked to watch like a Khan Academy video or something outside of class.
And then in class it'll be discussion and active learning.
right we'll actually try things we'll assess people in class too right you sit down you write an essay in class so we'll get there like that's but the road is always long in education and everything is messy and there's lots of competing forces but i think we can we can do that in in the classroom setting to me the work environment is where it gets really weird because we're not used to formal assessment right what happens is your boss sort of says you did a good job you did a bad job
But if your boss is impressed by your cloud output, are you really doing a good job?
Have you learned anything?
We may actually have to have formal assessment inside of actual organizations as well.
What would that look like in practice?
So that may look something more like testing.
