Students — Jump into the Driver’s Seat of Your Future Self

Greg Twemlow wrote a Manifesto for Students. His article functions as a manifesto directed at students, advocating for them to take proactive control of their intellectual growth in the age of artificial intelligence. The author argues that the traditional educational system is too slow to adapt to AI, and students should not wait for it to catch up. Instead, the manifesto highlights the transformative potential of AI memory functions as a tool for self-reflection, tracking intellectual evolution, and becoming the "author of your mind." It suggests that using AI as a thinking partner rather than a shortcut allows students to develop discernment and critical thinking skills crucial for shaping their future selves. The text provides a narrative example of how a student could utilise AI memory throughout their secondary school years to foster deeper learning and a personal archive of their intellectual journey.
