Dyslexia, AI, and Intelligence

“The limits of my language confine the boundaries of my world.” – Ludwig Wittgenstein

Exploring the development of non-language intellectual abilities should be coupled with maintaining the value of two-dimensional language learning.

Before mastering adult or specialized language, the uncharted realm beyond a child’s language remains. Recognizing the value of the 5-17% of children in the United States grappling with reading disorders is crucial.

While the predominant focus revolves around mastering and evaluating two-dimensional language skills in P-20 education, this may have restricted the creative potential of children, particularly those with dyslexia. AI’s potential lies in empowering personalized and authentic language learning experiences, deviating from standardized language curricula.

Amidst the era of AI and the Fourth Industrial Revolution, Edison’s quote, “Genius is 1% inspiration, 99% perspiration,” could potentially transition to “Genius is 99% inspiration, 1% perspiration.”

AI holds the promise to surpass two-dimensional language skills or the 99% perspiration, enabling every child to foster personalized and authentic learning experiences rooted in the 99% inspirational genius while retaining the value of two-dimensional language learning.
