In 2025, schools are running AI-led classes, parents share daily updates, and students in India use Perplexity in voice mode. ChatGPT is adding tutor workflows—“Study Together” and “Study Mode”—and Pingo AI reports 300k language learners. Educators propose in-class essays and oral exams as assessment shifts, and a meta-analysis of 51 experiments reports learning gains, pointing to changes in classroom design and study habits.

In episode #366, I sit down with Joe Liemandt to explore how artificial intelligence and a mastery-based education model could transform K–12 learning. https://t.co/VbZIfCclhA
Sal Khan says the future classroom will produce 10-year-olds doing quantum physics. An invisible AI assistant will guide students and nudge teachers, helping them connect at the right moment. The same tech that fuels addictive behavior could become a quiet moral partner - watching, listening, redirecting. “You've been on your phone too long too.”
We can now learn anything with AI. I learned about protein crystallography at dinner last night, from @grok, which let me talk to an Apple employee about it who sat next to my best friend and I. Real time learning. My best friend is building a medical device company, so was highly engaged in the conversation. A German startup showed me how augmented reality can teach you to do any task in real time. Taught me to take apart and build an electrical motor. No one has any more excuses.
"The meta-analysis results of this study confirm the positive impacts of ChatGPT on learning performance, learning perception, and higher-order thinking," Plenty of caveats, but a meta-analysis of all 51 experimental papers suggests ChatGPT helps learning when used appropriately https://t.co/xPVLDutfSK
The solution is to embrace LLMs, encourage students to use them as "thinking buddies" or private tutors at home––which is how I use it, and how they'll be using it for the rest of their lives. For exams, pivot to ~100% in-class essays and oral exams. Worked like a charm in my University of Austin seminar. I'm not sure this is a net-bad change over the status quo. And even if it is, it's inevitable anyway. Resisting it is like resisting the advent of calculators. The alternative route is a stupid & unwinable arms race between cheaters and cheat-detection. Professors are destined to lose this arms race, b/c the incentives to successfully cheat will always be stronger than the incentive to catch cheaters.
One way to make AI do good things is to actively experiment in creating good things and share the results (whether they work or not) so others can build on those. Mitigating bad outcomes are important, but good outcomes are not automatic either, and will take collective work. https://t.co/rd7HIZjLHY
