Advancements in AI reflect rich human intelligence.
But, what if the same AI
is challenging the human who built it?
This was demystified with a design strategist's hat!
An overview:
Today's children are tomorrow's changemakers. KAI, an education companion would help them gear up for work and the future by enhancing their 4C's.

👩🏻💻 The future of work
300 million
Full time jobs could potentially be replaced by AI
60%
Workers are in occupations that did not exist in 1940
85 million
Jobs will be replaced by machines with AI by 2025
97 million
New jobs will be created by 2025 because of AI

Interviewees speak
"This (AI) is very similar to
how people burned down
printing presses as they
were worried it would take
their jobs."
After 25+ interviews, tons of article reviews and
trend analyses later, we finally asked....
🔮 How do we
future-proof?
What are the 4C's?
These are the fundamental "human skills" that need to be honed from a young age.
🎨 Creative thinking
Innovative and out-of-the-box thinking
🧠 Critical
thinking
Informed decision making after analysing a problem
🤝Collaboration
Ability to work well
as a team
📣Communication
Articulation of thoughts in a clear and crisp manner
The Strategy:
To equip tomorrow's
changemakers, we need
to start today, in our schools.
Focus on emotion & curiosity
Enrich a child's human skills enabling them to stay curious
Co-create, not replace
Thinking of AI as a tool, and not a competitor, using Socratic learning principles.
Spiral Development
Present recurring concepts to the child in varying difficulties
The Goldilocks zone
Personalised assistance to the child, according to their needs
Now, let's say
hi to KAI, a personalized
AI-powered teaching assistant that adapts content to the child's pace, and helps teachers and parents contribute in a holistic way!
The important
users of KAI
Mindfully involves
parent into the
child's education
Does away with
conventional grading
Allows teachers a bird's
eye view, and control
of assignments
Allows collaboration
and expands the child's thinking skills
My Learnings
This project truly opened a lot of doors towards studying AI in depth and accommodating it into my design process as a way to improve my work. Also, I was able to view the ways different domains delicately interact with each other strategically, and it is very important to have the foresight of unintended consequences if a group of stakeholders isn't accounted for in a design solution.
