And then AI is really improving that.
I mean, I think AI for teaching kids is an awesome application.
Generally, you're in a classroom with 20 or 30 kids, and it's very hard for the teacher.
The kids are all at different levels.
And it's a very industrialized model.
All third graders are going to learn the same thing today.
And that really, again, that's for the convenience of the operator of the school and for being able to handle mass education.
And AI offers the potential of every kid gets their own tutor and goes at their own pace.
So there's a lot of efforts going on now on the board of Khan Academy, a nonprofit that's really pioneering a lot of stuff with Conmigo.
helping other for-profits like LOELLO that does a reading app that's amazing.
So if you have a five to seven-year-old, it really helps a kid develop a confident reader.
The AI is very patient.
And we'll listen to the kid and then correct them and then help them get stronger and stronger in their reading.
And we're scratching the surface.
So in the next 10 years, you'll be able to have a complete K-12 and probably university education with AI on a phone or tablet.
that will be really change learning.
So think of it as AI is getting more impactful in society, the standards of what people need to know and can know is much higher.
So we've really got to do this pivot to individualized education from mass classroom lecture style communication.
Well, the teacher will evolve to be a little more like a social worker and a motivator.
So they're not actually giving the instruction in that long-term case.
