Why Thought Pattern Recognition is Key to Unlocking the Power of AI in Educational Technology (EdTech)
“We all end in the ocean. We all start in the streams. We’re all carried along, by the river of dreams” — Billy Joel, River of Dreams
My friend’s son asked me an innocent quesiton: Is it hard to become a video game designer? I started explaining how game design requires creating a story arc, designing worlds, characters that inhabit that world and choice of technology and the right coding to ensure the game can work on a chosen platform or a plethora of platforms. As I was explaining my version of video game production, I realized that every human i.e. a video game designer, a scientist like Albert Einstein, an artist, a musician, a linguist starts understanding the true nature reality through the lens of his/her discipline but ends up thinking the more they know the less they understand the true nature of reality i.e. we all start in our streams but we all are meant to understand the true nature reality. This essay describes how AI can help humanity achieve that goal by unlocking the obstacles to our learning using pattern recognition.
