AI as a Tool, Not a Crutch in Classrooms | Barbados News

Akealii Hall, founder of the Hibiscus Sports and Culture Foundation, argues that AI should be integrated into schools—but only as a tool to enhance, not replace, human thinking. He envisions AI as a super-powered editor that refines essays, catches errors, and polishes ideas, freeing students to focus on critical thinking. AI can also streamline data analysis from projects like CSEC, but only after students collect the data themselves. Hall insists AI must never substitute student thought, advocating for “leading with humans first.” This message emerged at Next Wave: AI + Entrepreneurship Experience, where young people learned to harness AI’s power responsibly to build business plans, models, and pitches—equipping them to lead with both creativity and tech savvy.
