Smarter than machines

The education system we have is no longer fit for the world ahead.

It was conceived for a different age, a different pace, and a different kind of society. Today, artificial intelligence is transforming work, the economy, and the very rules of professional value at breathtaking speed, while our education system remains trapped in a model that delivers information but does not prepare people; that evaluates, but transfers little; that certifies, but equips poorly.

This book dismantles the foundations of that obsolete model and shows why its crisis can no longer be concealed behind superficial reforms. What is at stake is not only the quality of education, but the ability of millions of people to preserve their jobs, their dignity, their autonomy, and their place in society.

In response to this situation, the author proposes a real, rigorous, and already proven alternative: a new educational model grounded in cognitive science and in the actual workings of human learning.

The book culminates in a decisive reflection on artificial intelligence and on the urgent need to redefine what we mean by human intelligence. Its central argument is clear: the more powerful AI becomes, the more essential it will be to cultivate those capacities that only human beings can fully develop.
