From Calculators to ChatGPT: Why Parents Should Take Notice

Do you remember bringing calculators to class, but the teachers wouldn’t let us use them? They said that we must learn to do math without a calculator because won’t always have one with us.

 

Looking back, it seems quite silly now, especially considering we have cell phones that can do far more than just basic calculations.

 

From calculators and typewriters to microwaves and the internet, technology has advanced significantly. And now we have AI and ChatGPT, which seems like it belongs in a science fiction film.

 

As a parent, you may be asking what the big deal is. I’ve got you covered, so don’t worry.

What is AI, anyway?

Let’s begin with the fundamentals. Artificial intelligence is known as AI. It’s similar to having a robot brain that can reason and make judgments like a human brain.

ChatGPT, too? That’s essentially the most intelligent robot brain ever created, speaking and writing like us through the use of natural language processing. 

 

Why should you care about ChatGPT and AI? Well, because they’re altering the rules of schooling and future employment.

A Few Examples of AI Transformations in School

  • AI assists teachers in creating learning experiences for individual students by assessing their preferred method of learning and adjusting the lesson material and tempo accordingly.
  • AI is used for automated grading systems in schools, which saves teachers time in grading and provides students with instant feedback.
  • AI can help prevent academic cheating by monitoring students’ digital activities during online exams to detect any suspicious behavior

 

And this is only the start. AI will eventually make the classroom and learning experiences unrecognizable.

 

A Few Examples of AI Transformations in Work

  • AI is being used to automate routine tasks, such as data entry or customer service.
  • In fields like healthcare and finance, AI is assisting human decision-making by enhancing the efficiency and accuracy of tasks like diagnosis or risk assessment.
  • Jobs requiring AI or machine-learning skills, like coding, are expected to increase by 71% in the next five years.

 

The impact of AI on future work is not just a matter of technological advancement, but also a shift in the way we approach and understand work itself.

 

Compared to the days of calculators and typewriters, technology has developed dramatically. And while AI and ChatGPT might seem like something out of a sci-fi movie, they’re already here, impacting our daily lives, education, and future careers.

 

It’s important to stay in the loop on the latest advancements in AI and how they impact your child’s future. Knowledge helps us manage feeling overwhelmed since it’s within our control. For further information on this topic, see my post, How Parents Can Reclaim Power in Their Lives.

 

Who knows what the future holds for us, but one thing is guaranteed: technology will keep changing the world in ways we can’t even begin to comprehend.

 

Mind blown.
