"Imagination is more important than knowledge. For knowledge is limited, whereas imagination embraces the entire world, stimulating progress, giving birth to evolution."
— Albert Einstein
The most powerful and beguiling gift that we as humans have, is to imagine. Our actions are driven by what we imagine, and so are our dreams. And it doesn’t end there, it merely starts. For we can imagine anything in the world, and since we have started sharing our bed with technology, our vivid imaginations are coming to birth.
Just like that, what we had imagined in our wildest dreams has come to reality with the advent of Artificial Intelligence. Artificial Intelligence (AI) is the simulation of human intelligence processes with the use of machines and high-end computer systems. These processes include learning, reasoning and self-correction to generate the right results.
There are different types and modes of AI, however, they can be broadly categorized into two types:
Weak AI:
Also known as Narrow AI, is an AI system that is designed and trained to undergo or complete a particular task. The introduction of amenities like Siri, a virtual personal assistant, is a form of weak AI.
Strong AI:
Also known as artificial general intelligence, is an AI system with primitive human cognitive abilities. When presented with a cumbersome task, a strong AI system is able to find a solution without any human intervention.
The most formidable name that comes in picture when talking about Artificial Intelligence is of the great ‘Elon Musk’. His said startup Neuralink, which aims to build a scalable implant to connect human brains with computers, has already implanted chips in rats and plans to test its brain-machine interface in humans within two years, with a long-term goal of people “merging with AI.” There are two basic approaches: You can do it invasively, creating an interface with an implant that directly touches the brain, or you can do it non-invasively, usually by electrodes placed near the skin. Neuralink is going to go the invasive route. It’s developed a chip containing an array of up to 96 small, polymer threads, each with up to 32 electrodes that can be implanted into the brain via robot and a 2 mm incision.
Thus, days are not far when we will see our whole world artificially connected and getting closer. It is for our upcoming generation, for our to-be sons and daughters as they will reap the benefits of this boon. They will be given the most futuristic education, one we can only dream of. One former product of advanced schooling and futuristic education is K12 Online Schooling. Not Artificially Intelligent, but Naturally Ingenious, Online schools are the future of today.
K12 Online Schooling is nothing but a product of our vivid imagination. As little kids, we had always wanted a school that starts when we wish. None of us wanted to wake up early and travel miles to reach school. We had to carry the heaviest books, tolerate the most diabolical teachers and waiting for lunch break was a daunting task itself. But with online schools at par, all our problems have now been solved.
There are numerous online schools available all over the world but if you’re familiar with the term and value of accreditation, only a few can be considered as the best among all. One of those renowned institutions that aim to provide quality education is International Schooling. Accredited by the largest community of education professionals; AdvancED, International Schooling is amongst those very few online schools that not only provide quality education but also cater to the various needs of students coming from different backgrounds. Its Learning Management System (LMS) is designed in such a way that it provides complete guidance and support to score the credits your child deserves. An online K-12 school, which is committed to providing education from the young minds to the growing adults, this online school is one of its kind.
Artificial Intelligence and its bi-products will be coming to existence after many years, even decades. There is still time for them to be completely exploited by us, but if you haven’t enrolled your child into an online school yet, you are already late! Hurry before the whole world shifts to K12 online schooling and your child has to wait for artificial schools!
