Abstract
In 20 years, public education can be completely transformed if a more concerted effort is taken to develop the psychosocial skills of gifted students. Using tools like artificial intelligence and virtual reality, all gifted students could receive a personalized curriculum that provides curated experiences that help them develop a comprehensive foundation of psychosocial skills. In turn, these psychosocial skills can enhance their academic skills and experiences, helping them reach their full academic potential.
