Dispatch: The AI Education Revolution
Why education might hold the biggest impact for AI
Hello Friend,
Which sector could AI most impact? Defence? Business? Healthcare?
While these areas of course have great potential, I’d say there’s one area that holds the biggest potential of all for AI, and thats Education.
But why?
Think about it… how can we realise the full potential in all these other areas, if most people don’t even really understand what AI is and what it can do?
So education is essential for enabling AI while mitigating and avoiding risks.
This is why I’ve written several articles about AI & Education such as:
The Emperor’s Envy: How AI Is Enabling an Elite Education — For You
How AI is Making Teachers Obsolete — and Why That’s a Good Thing
AI Isn’t Replacing Math Teachers, It’s Making Them Better
It’s also why I’ve created 3 AI for everyone courses which you’ll find more details on below, including a new course AI for Business.
During my podcast series I sought out people from a wide range of backgrounds normally ignored in discussions about AI, not the usual silicon valley tech bros.
During my search for podcast guests I met who I had a great discussion with about AI and Education in Podcast Episode 12.
Dr. Chris Graves is a school principal in Chicago, Illinois, and has been thinking a lot about the impact of AI in education.
This week I’m really thrilled to host a special guest post by Chris about the ways AI will transform education in the coming years, more on that below.
Finally, sometimes a humorous take can help us see things in a different way…
On that, I was pleased to discover the work of and I’ve included below her satirical take on AI beauty pageants.
AI beauty pageants? Is that even a real thing? apparently so…
Which is more scary, the satire or the real thing? Find out more below…
Have a good week!
Take care,
Pranath

Special Guest Post by
As AI continues to revolutionise various sectors, the field of education stands on the brink of a major transformation.
In this thought-provoking article, Dr Christopher Graves explores five key ways AI is poised to reshape the learning landscape in the coming years. From personalised learning experiences to AI-powered tutoring systems.
Graves emphasises the need for educators, parents, and students alike to develop a strong understanding of AI technologies.
By grasping the fundamentals, we can ensure these powerful tools are used to enhance learning outcomes while maintaining a human-centered education.
Dr. Graves is a school principal in Chicago, Illinois, who is excited to be leading in a community that is thriving due to the way that the staff and families embrace the needs and unique strengths of families who move to the school’s neighbourhood from all over the world for new opportunities.
Dr. Graves completed his Educational Doctorate Degree from Illinois State University. He’s now passionately sharing his strategic, data-informed work with the world through his consulting work with his project Graves Data Insights, which can be found at gravesdi.com and bio.site/gravesdi. Through his Substack and online posts, he reflects on the current and future impact of AI and data usage on student learning outcomes, following and posting about research trends in this space.

Seeing AI Through a Comedic Lens
Sometimes comedy & humour is one of the best ways to understand something, and on that I was pleased to come across
.She has a humorous take in her publication on many topics. For example in her most recent post was.. THIS is the First Ever AI Beauty Pageant Winner!
Which was inspired by real-life AI beauty pageant posts as she explains:
Let me know if you think the real life articles are scarier than mine in the comments!
The AI images are quite hilarious, but her take also illustrates a few other points:
The increasing high quality of AI created images
AI images are not just a gimmick and are having real cultural impact
Do check out her publication Thalia’s God Tier News for a more humorous and satirical take on Technology, Sports, Entertainment and more.
