A key obstacle of the X-Challenges faced by every nation, community, and family.

In the age of artificial intelligence, every nation, local government, and family faces a critical juncture: either continue to prepare youth for a future where 99% of jobs are projected to be replaced by artificial intelligence, rendering individuals useless, as predicted by Yuval Noah Harari in ‘Sapiens: A Brief History of Humankind’ (2011), or pave the way for comprehensive opportunities for all children and citizens. This transformative decision could lead to an unprecedented era of prosperity and abundance in human society. This pivotal choice involves transforming existing compulsory education systems for all citizens, by ushering in an era characterized by equity, intellectual empowerment, civil liberties, and societal advantages within the realm of artificial intelligence. The current governance structure of schools and their duty to educate the next generation reflect the intentions of countries/governments and have been pivotal in sustaining the prevalent industrial 2.0 curriculum-centric school education system. Finding equilibrium between educational rights and equity, the roles and obligations among families, local governments, and central governments, and optimizing educational investment for effectiveness and efficiency reveals a key obstacle of the X-Challenges faced by every nation, community, and family. Ultimately, the X-Challenges are about shaping and confronting what the future will look like: a society where humans wield AI for the benefit of every family, community, or country, or a future where AI predominates and falls under the control of a chosen few individuals.
