Pierre Le ManhHOST
Do you mean that less people will go or need to go to have formal education, general education, and you would think that more vocational education is needed? Or is it a combination of both? Or, you know, is it even reasonable to think about formal education the way it used to be thought of with AI, with people basically cheating, homework being very difficult to control? So how do you see the evolution of all this educational system that we've lived in?
O
