Section One · The Basics

04 / 26

What is
A.I.

/ˌɑːr.tɪˈfɪʃ.əl ɪnˈtel.ɪ.dʒəns/

A program that has read millions of books — and writes back in plain language.

Section One · Honest Talk

06 / 26

Three myths,
three honest answers.

Myth 01

"AI will replace teachers."

A tool cannot replace a relationship. It gives back time so you can teach more.

Myth 02

"AI is always right."

It is confident, often wrong. You are the editor — always verify.

Myth 03

"AI is only in English."

It speaks fluent Urdu, Punjabi, Pashto. Type in any language.

Section One · The Stakes
