Michael Horn argues that AI in education is failing because it just layers new tools onto old classroom structures. Real change requires rethinking how learning works from the ground up, not serving the status quo with incremental fixes.
Like AI Ed tech, it's going to continue to disappoint as long as we're layering it over existing models as opposed to reinventing the model itself. It's frankly the central premise of disrupting class that I think frankly the majority of ed tech entrepreneurs got wrong in the 2010s. I think because I was in it a little bit, I was trying to learn and be curious at that time. I kind of feel like I'm just going to be a little bit more blunt this time and say if you think you're like serving the existing system and the existing classrooms in the existing schools, you're not going to reinvent and you're not going to get us to where we need to go. Full stop. Full stop. And so I think the new models you in your. Yeah, I know I'm a little bit more annoyed at this point. Right. But like the new models, I think in the entrepreneurial energy from outside of the system truly I think is even more important than it's, than it's been.
