AI is here to stay.  Schools need to figure out a way to embrace and work with it.  The education system must teach kids what it is , how to use it, how it works, what are its risks, and what are its strengths and weaknesses.  They need to understand that AI  has downsides just like humans and the internet. They also need to understand that this tool still requires the human to be even smarter to stay ahead in our near future workforce.  My takeaway was that this will help “even the playing field”  in education.  In the near future ,  any student who has access to a computer and internet will have the ability to have 1:1 tutoring when they need it.   That is impressive.  An example is Khan Academy's Khanmigo.  They also mentioned that maybe by 2026 idea of AI tutor with video conferencing will be available. I have not really used many tools with AI built in them already.  I swear by my GPS system.  I use ALexa or Sirius for music but that is about it.   I look forward to trying more.
