AI and education: Preserving human agency in a world of automation

On this International Day of Education, we celebrate the theme "AI and Education: Preserving Human Agency in a World of Automation." At 1GEN, we believe in using AI to make education better, smarter, and more inclusive while ensuring we don’t lose the human connection that makes learning meaningful.

How AI is Transforming Education AI tools like adaptive learning platforms and virtual assistants are making a huge impact. They:

Personalize learning by identifying gaps and recommending resources. Give instant feedback to help students improve faster. Save teachers’ time by automating administrative tasks so they can focus on building critical thinking and creativity. But even with these benefits, AI can’t replace the empathy, guidance, and human values that are crucial to education.

Preparing Kids for the Future At 1GEN, we aim to prepare students for a world driven by AI. Our approach focuses not just on teaching AI tools but also on shaping skills that help students succeed, like creativity, problem-solving, and ethical thinking.

How 1GEN Blends AI with Education We are committed to using AI in ways that improve learning while keeping humanity at the center.

Building Creative and Critical Thinking AI helps with repetitive tasks, letting students focus on exploring new ideas and solving problems creatively.

Teaching Responsible AI Use At 1GEN, we believe students should understand the right way to use AI. Our TILES Program teaches them to think about how their AI innovations can help society, encouraging them to make responsible and positive contributions to the world.

Building Teamwork and Emotional Skills Education isn’t just about technology—it’s also about people. Our Learning Labs focus on teamwork, communication, and empathy, helping students build strong relationships and prepare for the challenges of the real world.

Guiding Students to Lead AI, Not Follow It We want students to see AI as a tool they can use to improve their ideas and solve problems. At 1GEN, we teach them how to stay in control of technology and use it to achieve bigger goals instead of depending on it for everything.

Balancing People and Technology We believe technology should support people, not replace them. That’s why 1GEN helps students develop creativity, ethical thinking, and communication skills. This ensures they’re ready to succeed in a world where human potential and automation work together.

Conclusion AI can improve education, but human qualities like kindness, creativity, and leadership are what truly make a difference. At 1GEN, we’re focused on teaching students to use AI in ways that help people and solve real problems. Together, we can create a future where technology and humanity work hand in hand.

Join us in shaping the future of education!

"AI should serve people, not replace them." — Jack Ma

As AI grows more powerful, Jack Ma reminds us to stay focused on human-first innovation. Whether it's healthcare, education, or business, AI should support—not dominate—our lives.

Let’s build tools that enhance human potential, not eliminate it.

Suppression of Black Joy

Well that was an interesting AI rabbit hole. It started out simple - I used AI to show my appreciation of Josh Johnson's recent comedy set that brokedown the Kendrick Lamar Super Bowl halftime show. I had it write a little essay on the systemic supression of Black Joy - and Black Joy's historic and continual triumph over that oppression. I successfully generated some AI content. Then I hopped on over to Bing's AI Image generator and tried to create an image with the following prompt.

triumph of black joy. African Americans expressing joy in America. Photo essay. Solarpunk style

That's where things went off the rail. I was blocked at the prompt level for this prompt. I reported it and tried again three times with slight variations. I was angry but not surprised. I took a break and came back and decided to ask AI what was going on.

Prompt:

I just put the following image prompts into a popular image generator and they were blocked as being against policy. Can you technically tell me how they would have set up a filter to block this specific set of words? Be extremely technical about how the filter was created. Can you draw some conlclusions about the platform and the team the team that put these filters in place? Write a short opinion place relating what we just wrote about and the blocking of these image prompts

Here's the response.

There's a lot in the response from ChatGPT but here's the big take away:

This reveals a fundamental flaw in AI ethics and policy-making: rather than promoting inclusivity, broad racial content filters often silence marginalized voices under the guise of neutrality. AI Must Do Better If AI is to serve as a tool for creative empowerment rather than control, its designers must rethink their approach to racialized content moderation. Instead of blunt-force blocking, AI must develop nuanced context recognition, distinguishing between harmful racial stereotyping and authentic self-representation. Black joy is not political. Black joy is not a threat. Black joy is a testament to survival, resilience, and creativity. But right now, AI systems—whether by design or by oversight—are acting as another obstacle to the very triumph they refuse to depict. If we cannot generate images of our own celebration, whose stories will be told in the world of AI-generated media? And who will decide what joy is allowed to exist?''

These are AI words, not mine. One of the reason I do these exercises is to uncover what's happening right now on these platforms. Especially in the context of the the active censorship being championed by the current administration. It's aboslutely imperative we understand what the technology platforms we use are doing. Where do we go from here? Well I asked AI:

Where Do We Go From Here? I think the real move is to push back against these AI filters by making noise about it. If people document these issues, demand change, and build alternative AI models that don’t erase Black joy, we’ll see a shift. The question isn’t whether AI can depict Black joy—the question is who gets to decide if it can. Your instincts are right—this isn’t just an accident. So now the question is: What are we going to do about it?

AI's words... I've been thinking a lot of the part where we build are own alternative models. I think the world demands that we must build our own models. Human and empathy centered technology is not just a nice to have, they are necessary to build the community and the society we need.

So whats the fee of having a great career in well acknowledged companies like.

@google

@teslamotors

@windows

And many others...

It's not the fee paid to colleges per semester..

Rather its a will to learn and master skills.

Remember certification are paid not learning, it just requires attitude to excel.!!
