According to research by the IMF, a whopping 40% of jobs worldwide are threatened by AI.
The report estimates that 60% of jobs in developed countries could be affected by AI.
About half of the jobs will be improved by AI, but the other half will be replaced by AI, leading to lower wages and fewer jobs.
In extreme cases, some argue that some jobs will disappear.
In addition, various numbers threaten us.
They say that not 60%, but 80% of jobs are at risk, or that 14 million, or even 300 million jobs are affected.
First of all, please forget all about these numbers.
Why? Because we only talk about things that disappear.

Although it will take time for digital textbooks to be fully implemented, the winds of change have begun to blow in the educational field.
As teachers increasingly use digital devices in class, students will also need to improve their digital device skills.
This doesn't mean we should use digital devices more.
This means that we need to efficiently utilize paper books, digital devices, and AI tools.
Parents must also be aware of the direction of these changes and how to respond to them, and prepare accordingly.
I don't think classes that utilize AI digital textbooks, AI, and other edutech can be judged as good or bad based solely on the material itself.
What matters is not the technology or the device.
What matters is what we pursue with it, how we create learning that is truly for students, not just superficial glamour.

When we survey executives, they say that the qualities of a good talent are cooperation and communication skills.
Because cooperation and communication skills are the foundation for achieving good results.
But, unfortunately and fearfully, our children are increasingly losing that ability.
We send flashy messages with our thumbs, use various emoticons and symbols, and even communicate with AI chatbots, but we are becoming people who cannot express our feelings in detail or deeply read the minds of others.
They are growing up in contrast to those who are viewed as talented in society.

This does not mean, however, that humans do not need to develop the capacity to collect, organize, analyze, and refine vast amounts of knowledge and data.
However, while everyone in an organization, except for a few decision-makers and powerful leaders, is currently focused solely on this task, the situation is already changing. To be able to verify and judge the information refined by AI, we must train ourselves to do the same.
But we must not stop at just such training.
A key competency in our education today is the ability to ask new questions about the knowledge refined by AI.

When many changes occur in environmental factors, the greatest danger is not the rapidly changing environment itself, but the attitude of individuals who want to live tomorrow with yesterday's habits.
Such individuals will be eliminated from evolution and disappear. Individuals cannot control the rapidly changing environment centered around AI.
Our children should not be like trees rooted in one soil.
You have to be the kind of person who can uproot yourself and move if necessary.

Recently, we've seen children being taught various AI tools, such as drawing, music creation, and writing. It seems like something we need to do in the AI ​​era, but these tools aren't that difficult to learn, children find them engaging, and the results are surprisingly good.
But here's a point to note: AI tools have far more capabilities and utility than parents might have anticipated or guessed.
It would be great to learn its functions and use them to your advantage, but there are many cases where AI is used in a way that actually undermines one's abilities.
Since you need to know the functions to utilize them, it is of course necessary to go through a process of learning the basic functions, but it is much more important to develop the ability of children to determine what and how to use the functions of AI tools.

The interactive learning that took place in Plato's Academy is being replicated today as interactive learning with AI.
Children actively engage in learning through conversations with AI, which helps them internalize knowledge more effectively than traditional one-way lectures.
If utilized well, the goals and effects of AI-based learning are no different from those of the education of ancient Greek philosophers.
These include improving critical thinking skills, internalizing knowledge, improving communication skills, providing personalized learning experiences, and motivating students to continue learning.
