23. Education in the age of automation should put more emphasis on

答案：[A] creative potential.

解析：根据题干中的关键词可定位到第四段第二句“Curriculums—from grammar school to college—should evolve to focus less on memorizing facts and more on creativity and complex communication”。由该句可知，课程应该更关注创造性和复杂的沟通而非记忆事实。所以，应该选creative potential（创造潜能），为creativity的同义替换。
