Episode notes

The advancement of AI enables modeling humans accurately for running experiments and in vitro studies. The simulation software like Kerbal Space Program provides a platform for designing and launching rockets accurately. The integration of AI and simulation makes various fields accessible to young minds, allowing them to gain expertise and excel at a young age. The integration of AI in education necessitates a shift in assessment methods to align with the future reality of a technology-rich world, either by maintaining traditional methods in classrooms or by adapting to AI-dependent scenarios, aiming to prepare students for a technology-driven future.

Welcome to “The Ben & Marc Show”, featuring a16z co-founders Ben Horowitz and Marc Andreessen. In this latest episode -- the final in a three part series on the current crisis in higher education -- Marc and Ben answer YOUR questions from X (formerly Twitter).
