Khan Academy Founder Says AI Will Revolutionize Education
Sal Khan believes the expanding world of artificial intelligence (AI) will lead to an even more personalized experience.
In a recent TED Talk, Khan gave a demonstration of the possibilities with their new chatbot, Khanmigo.The TED Talk comes in the midst of a raging debate about the future of AI, especially “all-knowing” bots such as ChatGPT. Teachers, administrators, and commentators are realistically concerned that AI may enable students to skate by actual learning at best and cheat at worst.
While Kahn acknowledges the need for “guardrails,” he paints an exciting picture of a massive development in education if AI is used responsibly. In fact, it can be a personal tutor uniquely tailored to every student's needs.

How genetics determine our life choices

Onirism, Jean-Léonard Polo
A recognition that has earned him exhibitions in France, the USA, Switzerland and Australia.
A fan of Helmut Newton, he is, like the latter, fascinated by the female body which he uses as a starting point, it acts as a trompe l’oeil and gives the illusion at first glance of an authentic landscape.
A way for him to create an imaginary world and to tell his stories with the help of figurines of modelism which are integrated there.
If the aestheticism of his work is obvious, the erotic dimension is also but in a subtle and poetic way, leaving free rein to the imagination of those who contemplate his images.

The new short film above—from UN Global Compact, AlmapBBDO, and Boiler Filmes—features clips of Sagan's speeches accompanied by a lovely tape-loop soundtrack by Amulets.
