Why education should become more like artificial intelligence

Leading tech companies ship AI free within their products (Siri, Alexa, Google Assistant), powering our phones and the rapidly growing home personal assistant market. Indeed, they are becoming increasingly good at answering our questions, making us smarter. Teaching not rote facts and figures, but instead teaching students the paths to find this knowledge on their own. Teaching students -- as we do with computers through AI -- how to learn. We are stuck with centuries old methodologies, where schools and teachers act like the gateway to knowledge, but at a time when students can access all they want by simply asking Alexa.
