How Generative AI Is Completely Reshaping Education - Entrepreneur

This article by AI keynote speaker and strategic advisor Alex Goryachev explores how generative AI has transformed education and why adaptive leadership is now essential for educational institutions.

Education became the first sector to experience real-time AI disruption when ChatGPT arrived, exposing deep flaws in traditional teaching models focused on memorization rather than critical thinking. The technology didn't break higher education but revealed existing disconnects between classroom instruction and workforce needs. Students quickly embraced AI tools for coursework while most institutions lacked formal AI policies, creating urgent opportunities for change.

• Students are becoming entrepreneurs, using AI tools to build businesses and test ideas rather than just completing assignments
• Internal innovators (intrapreneurs) within institutions are driving the most meaningful changes through ground-up initiatives
• Successful institutions accept change as inevitable, embrace co-created learning with students, and support both internal innovation and student entrepreneurship
• The World Economic Forum predicts over 40% of core job skills will shift in the next five years, making adaptive educational systems critical for future workforce readiness
