To call Serena Williams’ husband Alexis Ohanian an active social media user would certainly be an understatement. He makes use of his considerable fan following while talking about topics related to technology, sports, and much more. But that’s not all. He is also very informed and well-spoken about other topics that impact society as a whole, especially kids. And recently one of the topics that he decided to talk about was the ‘SAT’.

Serena Williams’ husband Alexis Ohanian opens up about his views on SATs

Ohanian shared a video on Twitter from one of his podcast episodes, along with the opinion he has when it comes to taking the SAT. In the video, he can be seen talking about the logic behind taking the SAT and how the education system can do better in identifying and acknowledging the potential each student has.

He added, “The test-taking system we’ve used has been the same for the past 67 years. To truly identify student potential, there has to be a better system than just the SATs.

Alexis also shared how he took the SATs twice and he scored 1280 and 1420 consecutively. He also added how his parents could not afford a tutor, so he got through them with a book. He only took the exams a few months apart and did not do anything different in preparation, so it was not accurate to his potential.

Alexis not only shared the problem on the internet but also offered an improvised solution for the problem he highlighted. And as always, his solution was based on a thing he loves and loves to experiment with: it is none other than Artificial Intelligence.

In the series of tweets he shared on the same topic, Alexis also added how, since everything around the world is developing, the entry exam system of the colleges and schools should also change. One of the potential solutions that he had, which was better than the SAT according to him, was an AI-based bot that would have conversations with students.

He said that these robots could be more helpful in getting a sense of what the student has in terms of skill and potential rather than just giving an SAT which actually analyses nothing.
