In the AI era, the scarcest form of intelligence may be the ability to discover structures, formulate questions, and organize judgment in an undefined world. This is really a form of “structural intuition” , which is the kind of ability to perceive what a system could be before the system itself has been fully formalized or clearly defined.

That capability becomes especially important in the age of AI because models can already operate at extraordinary speed inside existing symbolic spaces. But humans are still needed to ask new questions, reorganize old frameworks, determine which connections are worth pursuing, and recognize which anomalies may signal the emergence of a new structure.

The goal of education, therefore, should gradually shift from “training people who can calculate and memerize” toward “training people who can discover real structures together with powerful computational systems.”
