Greg Twemlow's article argues that while AI excels at delivering knowledge and handling the technical aspects of education, it lacks the human capacity to cultivate wisdom, meaning, and ethical judgment. The author suggests that schools should adopt a new model where AI agents handle the mechanistic aspects of learning, allowing teachers to focus on fostering critical thinking, emotional intelligence, and moral reasoning.
