Mark Cuban: AI-skilled kids are more likely to become successful adults—they'll 'be best equipped to lead'

Tomorrow’s leaders might be today’s artificial intelligence-obsessed kids, according to billionaire serial entrepreneur Mark Cuban.

“Students who use AI will produce better, more creative work and gain a collaborative relationship with technology that’s needed in the future workplace,” Cuban tells CNBC Make It, adding: “Students who use AI will be best equipped to lead.”

The students who will use AI to find the most success, now and in the future, are those who use the technology to enhance their own critical-thinking skills, rather than replace them, Cuban said.

“Students using AI effectively know how to ask the right questions,” because they have been given the opportunities to spend time getting comfortable using the technology, according to the billionaire. “They use strong inputs and apply critical thinking to evaluate results. AI helps students think bigger, but it doesn’t make decisions,” he said.
