And that's happened just in the span of 50 years. So if that trend continues, video games will be indistinguishable from reality."

What should humans learn in the age of AI—and how should we learn with it?
Today, we’re officially launching Gakku—an AI-native learning coach for writing, speaking, and thinking, built for ages 6–16.
As natural language becomes our interface with intelligence, critical thinking and original expression matter more—not less.
Most AI products optimize for results. Gakku is built around the process—the human experience of getting there.
Through real-time voice and multimodal interaction, learners talk it out, explore ideas, revise, and create something of their own.
