Rant Incoming... Schools are Sabotaging Kids by Banning ChatGPT

d'Skills in Action

The debate on AI, its implications, and the potential obsolescence of traditional skills is heating up.

So, today, you get a rant on this very important topic...

--a multifaceted perspective on the ban of chat GPT in many school systems.

This ban is not just about technology...

It's about hindering our kids' preparedness for the digital economy.

To all the parents out there, to every leader who's also a caregiver.

It's time to explore the world of AI, education, and the road ahead.

– this one’s for you.

The Shift in Careers and the Role of AI Automation

"Every single company right now is sitting down trying to plan strategically,’ what are we going to do about AI?"- Hannah.

In the wake of IBM's announcement to cut 7,800 jobs, a wave of concern has swept over various industries.

It's crystal clear that every company is in the throes of strategic planning to tackle the impending AI revolution.

This revelation isn't just for hiring managers;

As a parent, it's a wake-up call about the future of my Gen Z and Gen Alpha children's careers.

The fact that IBM is shedding thousands of jobs due to AI automation speaks volumes about the seismic shifts we're about to see in the job market.

This realization marks a turning point, not just for hiring managers but for parents as well, as they contemplate the future careers of their Gen Z and Gen Alpha children.

"Careers are fundamentally changing, and d'Skills you're going to need to learn as a student are fundamentally shifting toward digital economy skills."--Hannah

The Clash Between Education and Rapid Technological Advancements

My frustration with the education system's resistance to incorporating AI technology, like chat GPT, is palpable.

The workforce now demands soft skills and digital literacy in a digitized economy.

"The most important skill you could possibly be learning right now are d’Skills -- skills that are made for the digital economy that are learned digitally and demonstrated."

And yet, the education system seems stuck in inertia, oblivious to the seismic shifts underway.

It's a head-on collision between the rapid pace of technological evolution and the sluggishness of educational adaptation.

and it's our Gen Z and Gen Alpha children who stand to lose the most.

This clash between the pace of technological advancement and the inertia of the education system demands a collective push towards preparing students for the AI-powered future.

The Imperative for Proactive Learning and Collaboration

Given the transformative nature of AI and GPT my call to action is clear...

embrace these tools as co-creators.

"Use it kind of like you might use Google. Build a habit of using GPT."

I encourage Gen Z and entry-level employees to tap into GPT's insights and perspectives as an integral part of their decision-making processes.

Through initiatives like the d'Skills community...

we're creating spaces for students to grasp AI's intricacies.

It's time to shed the reluctance and uncertainties and step boldly into an AI-powered era.
