All the articles I've read about AI improving education make the same assumption: AI will help students learn that same things as we teach them now easier.

If AI will be so revolutionary to me that first mean a complete overhaul of what students should learn? We haven't even properly done this reevaluation of the curriculum even for being constantly connected to the internet.

Students really need to learn a lot fewer things on average, but the fundamentals matter even more now. Honestly, 90% of the population doesn't need more than elementary math, but they really need to understand how percentages or pro-rata work.

In the end, looks like a puff piece by Bill Gates is still a puff piece.
