“AI can teach the masses, but only humans can nurture the elite”

— My journey into AI began during my student years when I took ML/AI courses. I believe AI will become the “fast food” for the mind — efficient and widely accessible, powering mass education at scale. But true depth, critical thinking, and leadership will still come from human-based education.

To shape the next generation of innovators, creators, and ethical leaders, we need to invest in education led by skilled human mentors. AI can teach the masses, but only humans can nurture the elite.

“Sharing ideas and experiences helps you grow”

— As AI continues to develop, I believe humanity and responsiveness will become even more important. Initiative will play a key role too. Stay proactive and curious. Continuously invest in learning — read books, take courses, and explore new tools and trends.

Most importantly, connect with others. Sharing ideas and experiences helps you grow, adapt, and realize you’re not alone in navigating the changes brought by AI.

“Pomodoro technique and coffee keep me productive”

— A cup of morning coffee sets the tone for my day, and I rely on the Pomodoro technique to stay focused and avoid burnout. Breaking work into short, timed sprints with breaks helps me stay productive and creative — especially when diving into complex AI topics.
