Why 'Right to Compute' Matters Now
Viswanathan pointed out the stark reality: while 95% of households have mobile phones, fewer than 10% have computers, with schools averaging one PC per 120 students. He advocates shifting from rote memorization to skills like critical thinking and problem-solving, enabled by AI PCs that personalize learning. AI can act as a 24/7 tutor, adapting to individual paces and languages, while addressing teacher concerns through tools like parental controls and on-device data privacy.
Proposals and Future Vision
Intel proposes improving device ratios to 1:15 or better, with affordable PCs under Rs. 20,000 and collaborations with the Ministry of Education. By 2030, Viswanathan envisions interactive, gamified classrooms where teachers mentor rather than lecture, democratizing AI for rural and government schools.
