The way we educate our kids hasn't changed a lot in centuries. MOOCs are great but completion rate is a real and yet unsolved problem.
I believe the biggest advancement in the field of education is going to come with VR. With VR, we can dramatically reduce the cost of "learning while doing", which should be the only way of learning. With AI, we can provide highly personalised paths for learners.
VR and AI technologies are finally coming to a point where together they can provide a breakthrough in industries which are mostly untouched since decades.

I also feel that algorithm based recommendation services are not going to be better than humans at least for a long time. Algorithms can recommend related stuff well(?) but that's not enough as our tastes keep changing and as you said they don't take risk.
