The theme for the 2025 International Day of the World's Indigenous People was Indigenous Peoples and AI: Defending Rights, Shaping Futures. On July 29, 2025, OpenAI introduced study mode. A new way to learn in ChatGPT that offers step by step guidance instead of quick answers. Google [August 6, 2025] announced the provision of $1 billion to support AI education and job training programs and research in the U.S.
Why is it unlikely for an individual to know everything about an area of medicine in 2 weeks? Just the knowledge, without practical, as much as a resident, in that timeframe? Assuming there is a good tutor, all forms of learning methods and facilities, why does learning still take time?
Digital Schools, can they help?
If the purpose is to pass an exam, or for findings, curiosity, or tasks, what are the chances of knowing enough to recall - or comprehending more?
Why is it easy to read the news, understand and sometimes remember the [gist of] reports after many months? Even in cases where stories are sometimes new, it is possible to digest and recall. This is different from learning [say] advanced geometry or physiology. What are the limitations of learning, for humans, that the promise of a new learning resource may not solve?
Also, there is something to learning that might make it seem easy or difficult. Timeframe, objective, subject type, prior experience, situations and so forth, may determine the procession of learning. There is, however, something about all learning, it is the ability to possess that knowledge, and use it - socially, casually, professionally or otherwise. If the reason to acquire knowledge is already possible without the necessity to acquire it, learning may lose its spark.
There is already a lot of buzz about AI Tutor: all patient, ever available, all explaining, all knowledge areas, sequential, never complaining, all supportive, same pace, descriptive at any level, switch ready per language, subject, even in personal needs or emotions, anything to be asked and so forth, AI - all possibility - Tutor.
The solution of AI Tutor is the solution of AI Worker or AI Staff. AI can do a lot of the things it can instruct. In cases that it cannot, it can assist someone that may have no expertise, for a task that does not require total precision - excluding the need for a professional. Aside from the work replacement of the same AI, AI Tutors are unoriginal in terms of moving knowledge forward in how humans learn.
What is Learning in the Brain?
When an individual is learning [say] harmonic numbers, what is the process like, in the brain? This question means that in reality, there is the topic, and in the brain, there is what the topic is. What does it mean that the thing in reality gets to the brain and stays there? What does it mean to be familiar with it to solve problems in different directions and to answer questions around it, unaided?
These questions are not about memory encoding, consolidation, retrieval, engrams, prediction and much else. Simply, what in the brain, is the [construction or architecture of the] topic and what is the process like?
What would have been human-centered artificial intelligence solution for learning or tutoring could have been an accompanying display, to show that this sensory information [sight or auditory], is relaying this way in the brain, it is using a particular attribute of [responsible] components within the brain, and it is not sticking yet because the components are not finding a configuration [or assembly] and so forth. Because of the abstractions [in the topic], it is best to learn it in a certain way, then give sometime, add in another, do some activity and so forth, aiming at the attributes [of the components] at the time.
This would be like learning and showing a parallel of what is occurring in the mind to the closest approximation [conceptually]. It may indicate that instead of getting discouraged, blaming oneself or feeling bad about not ...
