The 74

Students remembered an average of eighty-three percent when an AI questioned them, compared with sixty-seven percent when it simply summarized material for them.

Irfan is the founder and chief executive of Augmented Intelligence Advisory.

She describes a one-week pilot with twenty-two newcomer students aged eleven to seventeen at the Chicago headquarters of Forging Opportunities for Refugees in America, known as FORA.
