Exactly. Our schools have for a century been focused on turning every child into a parrot, when they should be aiming to produce a Socrates. AI can guide this process better than any rote teacher.
As an adult I had the opportunity to develop my critical thinking skills long before present-day AI came along. When thinking about my young children, and the inevitable use of AI in their schooling, I believe we should instruct AI to adopt the Socratic Method when teaching them.

Stats are compiled by @ICASA_org , but the numbers are misrepresented here. Footnotes of State of the ICT Sector report tells you it counts active SIM cards, and includes M2M and top-ups. A 50% jump from 2021 to 2022 was not about people, but about how connections are counted.
@Olivia_LaGrange Can @art2gee confirm these stats you are sharing? His @WorldWideWorx produces authoritative research on Internet & mobile growth since 2006. I worked directly with him for two years as business development manager @MyPE@mybroadband
