Learning from AI

Paper: Visualizing memorization in RNNs

It is interesting to see how AI learns. What is especially interesting to me from this video and paper is the possibility of humans learning from machines. For example, in this example, the different AI implementations are trying to understand a piece of text, and we can see its "attention span" as it tries to understand a letter (and word). My thought: can this eventually be used to help us learn better in our own physical, human world? Can an AI technique be used to teach humans how to better read a sentence to grasp a better understanding of that sentence and its context? If so, it is an interesting example of how AI can help us to improve human skills, thereby contributing toward bettering human intelligence.
