The rapid evolution of artificial intelligence is redefining expectations of education, raising fundamental questions about the relevance of traditional studies. Doctissimo founder Laurent Alexandre makes a bold statement by declaring that \u00ab\u00a0studying is a waste of time.\u00a0\u00bb He argues that educational institutions are outdated, having failed to integrate the ongoing technological revolutions. With 1 billion people using tools like Chat GPT, education must rethink its methods and teach students how to interact intelligently with these technologies rather than clinging to outdated models. Education: An Investment or a Waste? Is the education system still relevant in the age of artificial intelligence? Laurent Alexandre, entrepreneur and founder of Doctissimo, raises this provocative question in his latest book. According to him, schools and universities are struggling to adapt to technological advances, making academic education almost obsolete. His analysis highlights the urgent need for our institutions to embrace this digital revolution in order to remain relevant. This article explores this question and examines Alexandre\u2019s arguments on the future of education.An alarming observation on the integration of AI in education<\/strong> Laurent Alexandre, a neurobiologist and entrepreneur based in Belgium, raises the fundamental question of the adequacy of the current education system in the face of the exponential rise of artificial intelligence. Despite his numerous degrees, he defends a radical position in his latest book, co-written with Olivier Babeau: \u00ab\u00a0Ne fasse plus d\u2019\u00e9tudes aujourd\u2019hui\u00a0\u00bb (Don\u2019t Study Anymore Today). He asserts that the education system has not integrated the technological innovations generated by AI, thus perpetuating outdated teaching methods dating back to the 1960s. Universities in a Time of Digital Challenges<\/strong>For Laurent Alexandre, academics live in a bubble disconnected from current reality. He points out that higher education remains static even though a billion people already use ChatGPT. By refusing to adapt, universities are missing the opportunity to integrate these digital tools into their curricula, rendering their educational model obsolete for the modern professional world where AI plays a central role.<\/p>\n\n

Schools Lagging Behind the Technological Revolution<\/h1>\n\n

Laurent Alexandre doesn\u2019t just point the finger at higher education. According to him, schools are also out of step. He criticizes their inability to integrate the artificial intelligence and robot revolutions that are already reshaping the professional landscape, for both white-collar and blue-collar workers. Alexandre calls for a profound overhaul of educational methods so that younger generations are better prepared to navigate a world dominated by advanced technologies. Learning to Interact with AI: An Essential Skill<\/p>\n\n

Despite his critical discourse, Laurent Alexandre emphasizes the crucial importance of learning to interact with artificial intelligence. He emphasizes that errors attributed to tools like ChatGPT are often due to improper use of the tool. For Alexandre, it is not the capabilities of AI that are at fault, but rather the users\u2019 ability to ask the right questions. He advocates a learning environment focused on the judicious use of technology to better prepare students for the digital world.<\/h2>\n\n
