Some links for going deeper:

George Mack's "High Agency" - likely the most in-depth overview of this concept on the internet — https://www.highagency.com/
Paul Graham's "A Project of One's Own" explains why children and adults learn better when they work on their own ideas instead

If education is to survive the AI revolution, we must shift from:

“What do you know?” → “What can you build?”

Knowledge may be free—but the ability to create, adapt, and iterate remains rare.

Design with agency in mind.

Avoid passive learning. Use design environments—like MIT’s FutureMakers (AI design program)—that empower students to build responsibly.

Teach ethical and critical AI literacy, not fear.

Children must understand how AI thinks—and why it fails. Literacy means building, evaluating, and reflecting on AI tools.

Encourage self-reflection cycles.

After each build: ask “What went well? What failed? What will you do differently?” This cultivates resilience and deeper learning.

Mentor and co-create, don’t lecture.

AI should be a creative partner—not a shortcut. Google DeepMind’s Stefania Druga taught children using AI in tools like Cognimates to build games and train models—not just get answers.

The statement 'H/t @george__mack, @paulg' is a brief acknowledgment or 'hat tip' to individuals who contributed to a broader conversation about education and AI. The conversation involves public discourse as it addresses the future of education in the context of AI, emphasizing active learning, agency, and ethical AI literacy. The statement itself, however, is a simple acknowledgment and does not directly engage with the substantive issues discussed.

  1. Principle 1:
    I will strive to do no harm with my words and actions.
    The statement does no harm as it is a neutral acknowledgment.
  2. Principle 3:
    I will use my words and actions to promote understanding, empathy, and compassion.
    The statement does not actively promote understanding, empathy, or compassion, but it does not detract from it either.
  3. Principle 6:
    I will use my influence for the betterment of society.
    The statement uses influence to acknowledge contributors, which can be seen as a positive use of influence, albeit minor. [+1]
  4. Principle 7:
    I will uphold the principles of free speech and use my platform responsibly and with integrity.
    The statement upholds free speech and uses the platform responsibly by acknowledging contributors. [+1]
