When artificial intelligence can explain anything instantly, what becomes of teachers?

In an era where students turn to ChatGPT before asking their instructor, where AI tutors provide perfect explanations at midnight, and where answers are infinite but wisdom remains scarce, education faces its most profound transformation since the invention of writing. "Algorithm Generation" confronts the uncomfortable truth that much of what we've called "teaching"-delivering information, explaining concepts, providing practice-can now be done more efficiently by machines.

But this disruption reveals something unexpected: teaching was never really about explanation.

Drawing on cutting-edge research in cognitive science, educational policy, and AI integration, Jihad Saffouri maps the irreplaceable human dimensions of education that emerge when algorithms handle everything else. From cultivating productive struggle and teaching doubt as a skill, to modeling intellectual humility and designing AI-resistant assessments, this book identifies what remains distinctly human in teaching: the ability to make meaning from information, mentor through uncertainty, and guide ethical judgment in an algorithmic world.

For educators grappling with technology that seems to undermine their expertise, administrators redesigning schools for an AI-saturated future, and policymakers shaping educational systems for a world we cannot yet imagine, "Algorithm Generation" offers both challenge and hope. It provides practical frameworks for co-creating with AI, revolutionizing feedback, personalizing at scale, and reclaiming time for what truly matters-while never losing sight of education's deepest purpose: not efficiency, but human flourishing.

The Algorithm Generation will graduate into a world where information is free but wisdom is scarce, where answers are abundant but good questions are rare. This book is the essential guide to preparing them-and ourselves-for that future.
