Yılmaz shared his perspective on the important role of teachers and linked it to the impact of Artificial Intelligence on education and jobs. He encouraged teachers to focus on developing skills in students that make them "AI-proof" - critical thinking, creativity, curiosity, and lifelong learning. These distinctively human skills should allow students to stay relevant in an AI world. Yılmaz also stressed on the importance of learning to leverage AI while realizing the importance of human creativity to drive innovation. Yılmaz Köylü is a lecturer in the Center for Language Education at The Hong Kong University of Science and Technology. He has a Ph.D. in Linguistics and Second Language Studies from Indiana University, Bloomington in the United States. He has 16 years of teaching experience in various universities in Turkey, the US, and in Hong Kong. As a language educator and researcher, Yılmaz Köylü’s overarching principle in teaching is empowering students to be lifelong learners. With the overarching principle in mind, a key parameter in Yılmaz Köylü’s teaching is adapting and evolving based on new teaching and learning contexts. Latest developments in artificial intelligence have unearthed its wide ranging and fascinating capabilities, which will transform teaching and learning. Thus, as a language educator and researcher, he is committed to making the best use of AI to empower the next generations. This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community. Learn more at www.ted.com/tedx

    Keep it simple. Pick a job in demand in your area and you can do. Learn the skill and if you can learn the skill online as all knowledge is free with the web and you don't have to pay for school. Make money, save, and invest, and make your money work for you. Just make sure you search high demand jobs in your area of residence this is important. Then go after it. Meaning try applying for jobs and see how easy it is to get a job. Books you have to read: 7 habits of effective people, and think and grow rich
