I think the more we go forward, the more obvious will be that our education system is outdated. But, in the other hand, I realise if I rely only on AI to complete task, I do not fundamentally understand them. Therefore a generation that doesn’t have fundamental knowledge on life I think is going ti be too reliable on artificial intelligence. So what do you think will the future educational system be like?

Yes and for the better. I graduated with a STEM degree and almost every class was mainly PowerPoint slides ad nauseam. I believe very soon you will be able to plug your entire textbook into an AI model and essentially “talk” to the textbook. Unlimited personal tutoring, which will cause the level of true understanding in students to increase substantially.

In the 'good' outcome every kid gets a personal tutor that can help them learn in a way that suits them, at a pace that suits them and engages them in the learning process. Imagine if every subject was taught by a teacher that focused just on you and was someone you really got along with.

In the 'bad' outcome it will be used as an excuse to cut educational budgets as people no longer need to learn.

I hope for one but kinda expect the other.

AI has already demonstrated superiority in some areas (such as determining which questions to ask a student to improve test scores while studying), but honestly this is hard to predict for the simple reason that the current school system has been demonstrably a wreck for some time. Even individual states in America show clearly that some methods function better than others, yet due to a sclerotic system it's still unfixed in most areas (much less adapting to improvements more recent).

Imo, the emphasis on education should be less on details on more on grasping the big picture. Right now, the system is such that students put a lot of emphasis on knowing all the details in college and then building upon that knowledge to grasp the big picture when they are employed for at least 5-10 years in the same industry. Given that the AI will handle a lot of these details, the current education system that emphasizes gaining knowledge at this refined level is obsolete and useless. And if you de-emphasize the details, then you can spend a lot more time, looking more at the big pictures and as such accelerate the student's understanding and progression towards essentially managerial roles.

it could, but what (big) changes have been made to it in the past 20 years?

Yes AI will teach the students in a different way the AI will probably make him look for it

hm i’d say a lot of us are overexposed to ai related stuff. When I go to work most of the people don’t even know what chatGPT is. I don’t necessarily think being up to date is negative, there are some questionable reads, though.
