Education is already run by sociopaths. Now you can add a computer generated sociopath called AI to the crowd.
While the truly innovative workers will still thrive, perhaps using AI as one tool. For example, the software team I was part of that kept getting contracts because other programmers said they couldn't make the software, would probably be fine in the world of AI.
Once upon a time, education was about Reading, Writing, and Arithmetic. With some other stuff, including practical skills like wood shop or home economics. None of these areas as “fuzzy” or “political”. AI is not likely to go bonkers and tell you that 2+2 is 5, or that the past particle of “run” is “runs”.
I think home schooling with AI and other tools will get kids knowing how to read good books, write well with proper grammar, and handle math up to calculus. I do not see “faulty AI” screwing up such topics.
At that point, most young people should go get apprenticeships or positions that provide On The Job training.
The number of people who ought to go to college is very small. Doctors, Engineers, a few other professions. And the classes should be taught by Doctors and Engineers.
We need to radically re-think education for young people (basic subjects taught with AI support) and also education for some actual “”professionals”. But I think our existing education model needs to be tossed out the window entirely.
Why not just ask Grok?
MIT video recorded all of its classes in the nineties and 00s to put on line. That is changing higher education.
There are satellites of most high end schools in many cities now. A university education is going to be a very different animal. More like commuter education

I think people will need to monetize themselves (create a job/svc/product that brings them funds for living). This can be done using AI. If training departments in corporations are facing obliteration (they are)...so are brick & mortar universities, except for specialties like doctors. Designing an AI curriculum will be key, imho.
Maybe it will kill it.
Trade schools are the ticket... if done properly... meaning emphasis on actual hands-on learning solving real world problems... not some crappy online junk.
