"I pity the new generation…..are they blessed and cursed at the same time?….only time will tell," wrote AR Rahman as he shared a video that shows AI technology in a school. The video is originally shared by The Wall Street Journal. It shows Chinese students in a classroom with a headband on their foreheads.
