The Curiosity Crisis: AI’s Role in Humanizing Learning
Today’s students aren’t excited to learn—they’re just trying to survive school. Standardized tests and one-size-fits-all assignments have crushed curiosity. AI gives us a chance to reverse this by making learning truly personalized for every learner. Backed by exclusive data from the largest AI education pilot in the U.S. (California Community Colleges and Nectir AI), this session explores how AI-powered learning partners can tailor education to each student’s needs—turning assessments into conversations, not tests. AI won’t replace teachers—it will make learning more human than ever.
