Sam Altman's vision for AI-Driven education
OpenAI CEO Sam Altman thinks it's time for a new kind of computer—one built just for AI.
He says today's devices can't keep up with what AI will need next.
His "third device" would be smart enough to pick up on context, emotions, and your personal style.
Altman's vision for AI in education
Altman sees every student one day using a wearable or portable AI companion in class.
This little helper could notice when you're stuck or distracted, read your mood, and tweak lessons instantly to fit how you learn best—no prompts needed.
AI could help personalize learning for students
With these AI companions tracking student progress live, teachers could shift from lecturing to guiding and supporting creativity.
This means lessons that actually match each person's pace and needs.
Challenges to making this vision a reality
Making this vision work won't be easy.
Not everyone may have access to the tech, and keeping student data safe is a real concern.
Plus, teachers will need new skills to manage classrooms powered by all this real-time feedback from AI.
