Nobel laureate and head of Google DeepMind Demis Hassabis said that conservatives of modern education have completely lost touch with the new reality of AI. School education is almost as useless as preparing children for full AGI, where rote learning does nothing. Demis sharply criticized the low efficiency of old teachers and their inability to apply advanced methods of personal learning, as well as in Oxford and Cambridge, as well as the almost zero masters of the Montessori teaching method with an emphasis on human touch and the development of soft communication skills. What exactly does Demis propose as an education reform: * Changing the goals of education from learning "knowledge" in a vibrating classroom to developing soft skills - project management skills, entrepreneurship, creativity and deduction. The change of learning from hard skills to soft skills should be done through the Montessori methodology. In the age of artificial intelligence, knowledge is not worth much, but competent communication skill is worth something. * The whole "temple" with the transfer of knowledge in the form of a classroom lecture in the form of a standard lesson should be completely stopped as complete nonsense in the presence of personal AI bots that can explain personally and interactively to a student much better than a lecture addressed to the "average peripheral student in a vacuum". Real children have different levels, and they need a personalized approach - can be given by an AI learning agent. Demis calls for the introduction of standard Oxford and Cambridge teaching methods in schools everywhere, where the main training is carried out not in the form of standard lectures and homework, but through the teacher's personal interaction with small groups of up to 3 students with meetings once a week and project tasks. Criticism of current education is generally not new: many experts such as Huang and Musk also point out that the school is not enough for the reality that it has artificial intelligence bots or even humanoids.
