"The new jobs that are emerging need high levels of emotional intelligence and the ability to think creatively; the things AI cannot replicate and never will."
That's what Dr. Julian Browning, a former principal at Australia's St.
Paul's School, has to say about his new company, Vivedus, which aims to "transform education globally" by providing "a whole-school solution for the AI era," per the Educator.
What that means, per Browning, is that schools are killing creativity.
"The new jobs that are emerging need high levels of emotional intelligence and the ability to think creatively; the things AI cannot replicate and never will," Browning writes at the company's website.
So what's Vivedus all about? A "behavior-based learning system" that teachers use to foster creativity in students, per the New York Times.
"It enables teachers and learners to go beyond the constraints of mandated requirements for content knowledge and opens up possibilities for students to know, do, understand, and generate knowledge themselves," Browning tells the Educator.
"In generating knowledge, learners see the value of knowing what they have learned, and how it can be applied to contexts that have deep meaning for them."
