LinkedIn co-founder claims AI should be taught at colleges, and 30% of South Korean schools utilise AI-powered textbooks

LinkedIn co-founder

LinkedIn co-founder claims AI should be taught at colleges, Nearly 30% of South Korean schools have adopted AI-powered textbooks, showcasing a national push toward digital education. LinkedIn co-founder Reid Hoffman urges colleges to integrate AI into curricula and assessments to stay relevant in evolving educational landscapes. According to reports, South Korea is implementing AI in regular classrooms as part of its aggressive efforts to transform traditional education. Nearly 30% of South Korean schools, ranging from elementary to high school, have already implemented AI-powered digital textbooks since March, according to Nikkei Asia, marking a significant shift in the way that pupils learn. This week’s APEC education ministers’ summit, which was held in South Korea for the first time in nine years, featured the proposal. Using the platform, the nation showcased its digital transformation in schools, especially the introduction of AI-based math and English textbooks for specific grade levels nationwide. Andeok Elementary School in Jeju, which was selected by the government last year as a model for digital-first learning, provided a preview of this change. In a fourth-grade arithmetic session, kids worked through problems on tablets while their scribbled solutions were shown in real time on a digital board. A clear image of how AI is being utilised to make lessons more interactive and responsive was provided by the class, which was attended by international dignitaries. Nevertheless, there have been challenges associated with South Korea’s quick adoption. Among the urgent issues the nation must confront are regional disparities in digital access and the requirement to upskill educators. A analogous debate is developing in higher education around the world as South Korea concentrates on integrating AI in early education. Reid Hoffman, a co-founder of LinkedIn, brought up an issue that many educators are now starting to address: AI is here to stay, and colleges must change. In an interview on his podcast “Possible,” Hoffman stated that as more students use generative AI tools to finish their projects, the conventional format of college exams—particularly essays—is no longer dependable. He thinks universities should reconsider how learning is evaluated and think about incorporating AI into the evaluation process itself rather than opposing it. Hoffman proposed that AI might be used as a co-examiner in future exams or that they might even shift more toward oral exams, which need a deeper level of comprehension. He pointed out that while AI-generated essays are frequently generic, teachers could use them as models for students to follow, encouraging them to set greater goals. Avoiding AI in the classroom, he added, just postpones the inevitable. You can’t “ignore the new tool,” Hoffman said, adding that giving kids the skills they need to collaborate with AI will be essential to their future employment. He cautioned that unless they aggressively embrace change, many colleges risk slipping behind as they continue to use antiquated teaching techniques.

Dior confirmed a cyberattack compromised client data, excluding financial details, and is notifying affected customers. This follows a wave of cyberattacks targeting major European retailers, including Marks and Spencer and Harrods. Dior stated that no financial data, including bank card details, was on the database accessed, but it did not specify the number of clients implicated. On May 14, 2025, the French luxury brand Dior declare that client data had been taken by cyber criminals, but they assured that no financial information was compromised. A number of well-known European retailers have been the victim of cyberattacks, with the major LVMH subsidiary being the most recent. Following the announcement by the Le Monde newspaper that Asian clientele had informed them of the alleged January information breach, Dior issued a statement. “The House of Dior has learned that some of our client data was accessed by an unauthorised third party. “We took immediate action to contain this incident,” the statement read. Dior stated that no financial data, including bank card details, was on the database accessed, but it did not specify the number of clients implicated. “Dior teams are still looking into and responding to this situation with the help of top cybersecurity specialists. All pertinent regulatory bodies are being notified,” it continued. “We are in the process of informing customers affected by this incident.” Le Monde claims that client names, email addresses, postal addresses, and phone numbers were among the stolen data. According to HSBC bank, Dior, one of LVMH’s two main brands along with Louis Vuitton, generated 8.7 billion euros ($9.7 billion) in revenue in 2024. Cyber gangs have been increasingly targeting new high-end brands and retailers in recent months. British company Marks and Spencer announced on May 13, 2025, that weeks of interruptions to its online services had resulted from a cyberattack that had exposed some of its customers’ personal information. The high-end department store Harrods and the Co-op food chain have also been affected in recent weeks.
