Today we are exploring an article I wrote for Forbes last week, titled "What’s Really Going On With AI In Schools? A High School Student’s POV." I hope this piece can give us a powerful lens into the realities of AI in education, not through the eyes of policymakers or academics, but from the perspective of a high school student, William Liang, based in San Jose, California.

Today we are exploring “The Art of Asking Smarter Questions” by Arnaud Chevallier, Frédéric Dalsace, and Jean-Louis Barsoux, published in the May–June 2024 issue of Harvard Business Review. This article dives into a deceptively simple but powerful concept: asking better questions. While it speaks primarily to business professionals and executives, there is a deep undercurrent here that applies just as profoundly to education—particularly in the context of how we engage with artificial intelligence and teach future generations to think critically in a data-saturated world.
