        "summary": "The article argues that modern education systems overvalue the ability to answer questions, while major scientific breakthroughs stem from asking good ones. With the rise of artificial intelligence capable of generating instant answers, the author suggests that the crucial skill for the future is no longer finding information, but formulating the right questions.",
        "content": "<p>Almost every major leap in the history of science began with a good\nquestion, not an answer. Isaac Newton did not start his theory with an\nanswer, but with the question of why an apple falls downwards. Charles\nDarwin asked why living creatures have such great diversity. According\nto Albert Einstein, formulating a problem is often more important than\nfinding its solution. Knowledge develops because humans ask questions,\nnot because they stop asking. Ironically, our education system still\nrewards answers more than questions. For centuries, this approach may\nhave been sufficient. When books were hard to obtain and the educator\nwas the main source of knowledge, the ability to answer was indeed an\nindicator of learning success. Students needed to master as much of the\neducator\u2019s knowledge as possible. The internet then changed the world.\nInformation is no longer scarce. Almost all answers can be found through\nsearch engines. Education began to shift; the important thing was no\nlonger memorisation, but knowing how to search for information. Now,\nartificial intelligence is fundamentally altering the educational\nlandscape once more. AI not only helps search for information but also\ngenerates answers. In a matter of seconds, AI can answer almost any\nquestion in coherent, complete, and convincing language.<\/p>",
