@femalequotient What an inspiration! Incredible to see Kiefer's dedication and success in both medicine and fencing.

University of Kentucky College of Medicine student, Lee Kiefer, wins gold in fencing! She is a four-time Olympian who’s also balancing her Olympic dreams with med school. She put her studies on hold to compete in #Paris2024 and will soon graduate med school.

Lifelong learning is more important today than ever. Why? Share your thoughts below.

Verifiable skills credentials and assessments are critical to meet the demands of the workforce, making visible the skills people carry and demonstrating opportunities for upskilling and reskilling. Do you think that skills acquisition will be as important as a degree?

@MicrosoftEDU Personalization of education and assessment is one of the most exciting aspects of AI innovation.

Did you hear the news? #AI updates are coming to #MicrosoftTeams for Education! 🎉 With generative AI built in to Assignments, Classwork, and more, you can personalize learning without leaving the app. Explore these updates and more #MicrosoftEDU news: msft.it/6018l8Uty

@MyEdTechLife @nnekamcgee @TomEMullaney @the_nerdy_geek Great insights. Innovation in AI must keep responsibility and a high standard of ethics as a top priority.

@SteeleThoughts Teachers have an immense impact on shaping the young minds of future leaders, innovators, and change makers. We must do everything in our power to support educators and their passion for teaching!

When I think back on my teachers who were most effective, there is something they all had in common: they all seemed excited to be teaching us.  Teachers should always be aware of the attitude and energy they bring into class.  I promise you… the students are aware of it.

@NelsonMandela There is still so much work yet to be done to battle inequity.

#MandelaDay2024 It is still in our hands to combat poverty and inequity. #ItIsInYourHands #NelsonMandelaFoundation

@DataCamp AI education is essential for individuals across all industries. Organizations and institutions must not only prioritize AI education, but setting guidelines so that this technology is used ethically and responsibly.

From using AI literacy to combat misinformation to job automation and who's responsible for upskilling the current workforce—can data & AI literacy safeguard humanity? 🧠💼 ow.ly/4cEf50SCYSY #DataCamp #AI #AIskills #DataScience #TechTrends

@borisfx @ashthorp1 @nickharauz Something most people don't realize about lifelong learning — once you open your mind to learning opportunities as you move throughout the world, you will find that learning comes from the most unsuspecting places.

@poorbjorn 👏👏 Great advice. Lifelong learning is not only critical for professional growth — but personal fulfillment.

@karpathy Exciting news! Innovation in how we ethically implement AI in education is essential. Students today must have a strong grasp on how to utilize AI to their advantage — while also recognizing the many risks that AI still poses.

⚡️ Excited to share that I am starting an AI+Education company called Eureka Labs. The announcement: --- We are Eureka Labs and we are building a new kind of school that is AI native. How can we approach an ideal experience for learning something new? For example, in the case of physics one could imagine working through very high quality course materials together with Feynman, who is there to guide you every step of the way. Unfortunately, subject matter experts who are deeply passionate, great at teaching, infinitely patient and fluent in all of the world's languages are also very scarce and cannot personally tutor all 8 billion of us on demand. However, with recent progress in generative AI, this learning experience feels tractable. The teacher still designs the course materials, but they are supported, leveraged and scaled with an AI Teaching Assistant who is optimized to help guide the students through them. This Teacher + AI symbiosis could run an entire curriculum of courses on a common platform. If we are successful, it will be easy for anyone to learn anything, expanding education in both reach (a large number of people learning something) and extent (any one person learning a large amount of subjects, beyond what may be possible today unassisted). Our first product will be the world's obviously best AI course, LLM101n. This is an undergraduate-level class that guides the student through training their own AI, very similar to a smaller version of the AI Teaching Assistant itself. The course materials will be available online, but we also plan to run both digital and physical cohorts of people going through it together. Today, we are heads down building LLM101n, but we look forward to a future where AI is a key technology for increasing human potential. What would you like to learn? --- @EurekaLabsAI is the culmination of my passion in both AI and education over ~2 decades. My interest in education took me from YouTube tutorials on Rubik's cubes to starting CS231n at Stanford, to my more recent Zero-to-Hero AI series. While my work in AI took me from academic research at Stanford to real-world products at Tesla and AGI research at OpenAI. All of my work combining the two so far has only been part-time, as side quests to my "real job", so I am quite excited to dive in and build something great, professionally and full-time. It's still early days but I wanted to announce the company so that I can build publicly instead of keeping a secret that isn't. Outbound links with a bit more info in the reply!

@NobelPrize Great advice!

Work hard, learn by doing and do something you love. On World Youth Skills Day, our 2017 physics laureates - Kip Thorne, Barry Barish and Rainer Wiess - share their advice for young researchers.

@insan_honey 👏👏 Developing durable skills is crucial to equip students with the skills needed to succeed in the ever-evolving world of work.

Upskill. Empathy. Empowerment. From vocational to soft skills, from thriving at work to showcasing kindness and empathy, let's enable the youth to become paragons of skill, excellence and humanity. Our world needs moral ethics as much as technical expertise. Let today's youth become icons of peace, progress and prosperity for tomorrow. #WorldYouthSkillsDay #WYSD2024

@samirmodi Keeping women at the forefront is essential — upskilling opportunities and skills credentials are key to empower and advance women in the workforce.

India's 1.44B population, with 65% under 35, includes many women in the workforce. Modicare Foundations’ Ambassadors of Change and Khwabgah aid youth with essential skills. Keeping women at the forefront, and supporting upskilling can transform our tomorrows. #WorldYouthSkillsDay

Throughout my life, curiosity has underpinned my successes, career shifts, and personal development. What role does curiosity play in your life?

@JamesClear Great advice, and a reminder to all that consistency is key to success.

Most people need consistency more than they need intensity. Intensity: -run a marathon -write a book in 30 days -silent meditation retreat Consistency: -don't miss a workout for 2 years -write every week -daily silence Intensity makes a good story. Consistency makes progress.

@andylapteff Daily meditation has been a crucial aspect of my routine to ensure mental clarity and equanimity in both my personal and professional life.

As a lifelong learner, I'm always looking for brain hacks. Here are my top 3 mental fitness hacks to maximize cognitive function. 1) 7 hours of sleep, minimum. 2) Meditation. 3) Exercise. What do YOU do to keep your mind sharp? #mentalhealth #selfcare #ccnp #mentalfitness
