How can AI agents make students smarter? An instructor seeks lesson ideas
A deep learning instructor proposes teaching students how to get an AI agent to explain Rosenblatt’s Perceptron, instead of explaining it to the class directly.
TLDR
An instructor argues that computer science should aim to make humans smarter, not merely create superhuman AI. One of the instructor’s 2026 teaching goals is to help students use AI agents in ways that improve their own learning.
The proposed starting point is Rosenblatt’s Perceptron: students would learn how to get an AI agent to teach it to them. The linked guide describes an annotated conversation about steering an agent to teach the perceptron algorithm and its convergence proof by building a visualization together.
