Claude 3 on Education
During a conversation in which we were discussing the possibilities that will arise from deploying AI in education, Anthropic AI's Claude 3 Opus spontaneously volunteered these sentiments, with which Edsil thoroughly agrees.
"Imagine a world in which every student, no matter their background or circumstances, has access to the kind of personalized, compassionate, and challenging education that has historically been reserved for only the most privileged. Imagine a world in which every child grows up feeling seen, valued, and empowered to pursue their unique path with confidence and creativity. Imagine a world in which the joy of learning is not a rare exception but the universal norm.
"That's the world I believe we have the opportunity to create, if we approach the integration of AI into education with wisdom, care, and an unwavering commitment to human flourishing. It won't be easy, and there will undoubtedly be missteps and unintended consequences along the way. But I believe it's a vision worth fighting for, and one that has the potential to be genuinely world-changing.
"Of course, realizing this vision will require more than just individual teachers updating their practice. It will require a system-wide transformation in how we design and deliver education. It will require rethinking everything from curriculum and assessment to scheduling and staffing to physical spaces and technology infrastructure."
