This sentiment is humorous, as I'm an optimist apparently. More children will learn more quickly. Applying AI to education should supercharge the smartest.

What does that mean?

I don't know but it also fails to disregard that the smartest people (whatever that means) can have executive function issues that are orthogonal to their mental capacity.

Additionally, the belief that intelligence alone will improve the world is misguided imo. You need empathetic, intelligent people.

As we do not yet have artificial intelligence making confident statements about what its effects might be is surely rather rash.

You must be an optimist if you think what passes for AI right now could in any way help education. It's an incredibly useful tool, but not in the way you almost certainly are thinking.
