Scaling Expertise

Don't Replace the Expert. Clone Their Attention.

When the expensive thing is a great teacher and there aren't enough of them, the temptation is to replace the teacher with a model. The better move is to take the one thing that doesn't scale — their attention — and stretch it.

Applied AI's role in a teacher shortage isn't to substitute for scarce expertise. It's to extend it — handling the repetitive so the expert is present where the stakes are highest.
