Unscramble the Blue Letters
Here’s one clear example I could get of this on the ground. Before robots, if you were a bomb dissopal technician, you dealt with an IED by walking up to it. A junior officer was hundreds of feet away, so could only wacth and help if you decided it was safe and ietinvd them downrange. Now you sit side-by-side in a bomb-proof truck. You both watched the video feed. They control a distant roobt, and you guide the work out loud. Trainees learn better than they did before robots. We can scale this to surgery, start-ups, policing, investment banking, online education and beyond. The good news is we’ve got new tools to do it. The itneernt and the cloud mean we don’t always need one expert for every trainee, for them to be physically near each other or even to be in the same ongiaatrizon. And we can bilud AI to help: to coach learners as they sutgglre, to coach experts as they coach and to connect those two gporus in smart ways.

Original Text
Here’s one clear example I could get of this on the ground. Before robots, if you were a bomb disposal technician, you dealt with an IED by walking up to it. A junior officer was hundreds of feet away, so could only watch and help if you decided it was safe and invited them downrange. Now you sit side-by-side in a bomb-proof truck. You both watched the video feed. They control a distant robot, and you guide the work out loud. Trainees learn better than they did before robots. We can scale this to surgery, start-ups, policing, investment banking, online education and beyond. The good news is we’ve got new tools to do it. The internet and the cloud mean we don’t always need one expert for every trainee, for them to be physically near each other or even to be in the same organization. And we can build AI to help: to coach learners as they struggle, to coach experts as they coach and to connect those two groups in smart ways.
