At Aces Champion, we start asking ourselves this question. Our answer is to build a strong foundation for our children to be successful in their life and of course contribute meaningfully to the society they will be living in. We prepare our children not based on the society that we are currently dwelling in but a future that we foresee is coming. This way we can better prepare our children for the society they will be living in, setting them on the path to be more successful.
The advancement in technologies, with more resources injected into AI (artificial intelligence), IoT (internet of things) and blockchain, the world is going to be a very different place from now. As such, the nature of the types of jobs in the future will be changed drastically.
In 2011, IBM’s Watson supercomputer challenged Ken Jennings and Brad Rutter, 2 top ranked players on Jeopardy (TV game show on knowledge), and famously beat them.

As recent as Feb 2018, AI has overtaken lawyers in spotting risks in everyday business contracts and in a much shorter time. AI achieved an accuracy level of 94% versus 85% by 20 lawyers, with the speed of 26 seconds to review 5 non-disclosure agreements (NDAs), while human lawyers took an average of 92 minutes. https://blog.lawgeex.com/ai-more-accurate-than-lawyers/
These are but some examples that AI has outperformed human beings. As we move forward, such examples will be more, as scientists gain more experience and the self-learning capabilities of AI machines continue to improve.

As a re-energized child care operator, Aces Champion has begin works towards adding new deliverable to compliment programs we built over the years since 2005, with programs in reading (leading the imagination to help our children discover their creativity), sportsmanship (attitude of a champion who strive to be a winner but gracious in time of defeat) and problem handling (how to work with others to resolve a challenge).
