I asked Copilot, and it responded with these references and some other points:

Yesterday I happened on this YT interview with Sal Khan:

"Whether we like it or not, the AI revolution is coming to education. The founder of Khan Academy returns to Commonwealth Club World Affairs for a first look at how the artificial intelligence revolution will affect education, its implications for parenting, and how we can best harness its power for good.

Khan will draw on his work in his new book Brave New Words to explore how artificial intelligence and GPT technology will transform learning, and he’ll offer a road map for teachers, parents, and students to navigate this exciting (and sometimes intimidating) new world.

A pioneer in the field of education technology, Khan examines the ins and outs of these cutting-edge tools and how they will revolutionize the way we learn and teach. He says AI can personalize learning by adapting to each student’s individual pace and style, identifying strengths and areas for improvement, and offering tailored support and feedback to complement traditional classroom instruction. Khan emphasizes that embracing AI in education is not about replacing human interaction but enhancing it with customized and accessible learning tools that encourage creative problem-solving skills and prepare students for an increasingly digital world.

But Khan’s message is not just about technology—it’s about what this technology means for our society, and the practical implications for administrators, guidance counselors, and hiring managers who can harness the power of AI in education and the workplace. Hear about the ethical and social implications of AI and GPT, with thoughtful insights into how we can use these tools to build a more accessible education system for students around the world."

It's a tall order to figure all this out. In the next 20 years I think (I hope!) the model(s) for education will change almost completely. We've seen a lot of experimentation in the last 20 years, but entrenched institutions and systems (and politics) have prevented any real change to the mainstream. Innovative teachers will move in the interstices of crumbling relics. For me the biggest question, besides what to offer and how to offer it, is how students will find what they need and be able to pay to support these new offerings.
