The rise of importance of new kinds of skills in the age of exponential technology | Read the full blog
It’s the year 2037. A group of Moravian Academy students in Physics class just finished talking with a leading global scientist from Germany. The scientist joined their classroom via 3D hologram technology to demonstrate new nanotechnology tools that can replace brain signals to make virtual reality seem 100% real. After school, students work on their assignments utilizing the support of artificial intelligence to help prepare for a debate on the pros and cons of downloading information from the cloud through the use of brain computer interfaces (BCI’s) and thought alone. One of the students already has a BCI installed in their brain to support a disability. Questions arise as to whether it is ethical for other students without disabilities to have BCIs surgically implanted to enhance their intellectual abilities...
... In an age that is being shaped in significant ways by the advances in artificial intelligence and other exponential technologies, leading schools like Moravian should consider how these developments are currently impacting the lives of the students in our care as well as how they will impact their future after they graduate. It is incumbent upon us to consider how to support student skill development to ensure that they will thrive in a world where most every job and every experience will be touched by technology.
