Professor Bau: Teach Students to Get Smarter, Not Dumber, With AI Agents

Professor David Bau set a teaching goal: building superintelligent AI without making humans smarter would be a failure of computer science. He published an annotated transcript showing how LLM agents can teach the perceptron algorithm and its convergence proof, aiming to master the art of using AI to become smarter rather than dumber.
