Peter Diamandis weighed in on giving young people AI during their education: letting AI do a kid's 9th-grade homework is a travesty, but asking them to use AI to design an interplanetary spaceship is education.
His core argument: point the tools at the biggest problems kids can imagine — the goal determines whether AI is a shortcut or a capability amplifier.
