Sebastian Thrun<\/strong>, former vice president of Google, Udacity<\/a> board chairman, and Stanford University<\/a> research professor, says technology is a game-changer that can level the playing field in education worldwide.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

During an interview with TecScience<\/em><\/strong>, Thrun emphasizes the importance of technology, particularly Artificial Intelligence (AI)<\/a>, as a leveling force in society<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cTechnology is the big leveling force in society that will make it possible for every person in the world to have access to high-quality education, and that’s really exciting. Historically, it’s not been the case.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Thrun was one of the guests at the 2024 Board of Trustees Meeting at Tec de Monterrey<\/strong>, which annually brings together the Assembly of Associates, the institution’s highest governing body.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

He claims that in the past, only privileged groups had access to great education in elite institutions; however, because of technology, everyone may now get a superior education regardless of where they are from or their socioeconomic level.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cI believe that we will truly democratize the ability to do research and education at a global scale. And we will for the first time ever, live in a world where no matter where you’re born, whether it’s in Indonesia or in Bangladesh or in North America, you’ll have the same opportunities. And that would be amazing,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
