Whether you like it or not, the world has entered the AI era. And that comes with the fear that people will lose their jobs, be left behind, or simply not being able to catch-up with the accelerated technological developments. Education, training, skilling and re-skilling will be playing a major role in how we'll prepare ourself for meeting the challenges that exist and are further exacerbated by the AI revolution. In order to be adequate to the new realities, the learning methods and tools have to be revolutionised as well. At Vizipedia we work on tools that facilitate learning through the means of project-based and game-based learning. And yes - we are using AI for that. But not to put the AI against the human but rather use it as a tool to accelerate and boost the development of the skills of the future - creative thinking, system thinking and critical thinking, etc.
