AI or RI

Technology will atrophy the skill it replaces. While this is not a new problem, it seems to be a controversy on steroids. What tasks should we delegate to artificial intelligence and what should we retain as “real intelligence”—and why? Join Andrew Pudewa as we look at some basic things humans have taught and learned for years while contemplating some possible answers to this rapidly growing question: When and how should students begin using AI?

Andrew Pudewa is the founder and director of the Institute for Excellence in Writing. Presenting around the world, he addresses issues relating to teaching, writing, thinking, and spelling with clarity, insight, practical experience, and humor. His seminars for parents, students, and teachers have helped transform many a reluctant writer and have equipped educators with powerful tools to dramatically improve students’ skills. Although he is a graduate of the Talent Education Institute in Japan (Suzuki Method) and holds a Certificate of Child Brain Development, his best endorsement is from a young Alaskan boy who called him “the funny man with the wonderful words.” He and his beautiful, heroic wife, Robin, homeschooled their seven children and are now proud grandparents of nineteen, making their home in Northeastern Oklahoma’s picturesque Green Country.
