Using Artificial Intelligence (AI) in Education

This blog provides a brief, high level introduction to the topic of Artificial Intelligence (AI) technology and its role in the Future of Education.

Our education system, schools, and universities are in the process of dramatically redefining their mission, purpose, structure, funding, curriculum, new technologies and tools as we adapt to an ever changing future. Think about Education and Online Learning available to everyone, anywhere, anytime. Think about personalized, Lifelong Learning solutions tailored just for you.

Televideo, virtual reality, robotics, implantable systems, brain interface technology, artificial intelligence systems, personal learning assistants, augmented reality... so many new technologies and tools are in the process of being developed and deployed to bring about change in how we will educate and train people in the coming decades. The focus here is on the use of just one of these new technologies Artificial Intelligence (AI).

A report entitled Artificial Intelligence (AI) Market in the US Education Sector 2018-2022 predicts a nearly 48 percent growth rate for AI tools over the next three years. There’s no rulebook yet for deploying artificial intelligence in schools. However, solutions such as IBMWatson Education and Google Cloud Platform & AI initiative offer the potential for schools to deliver personalized learning strategies and offer analytics-based performance feedback and insights. It is not yet clearly defined how K–12 educational institutions will actually best leverage these tools.


The following are selected articles on the use of artificial intelligence (AI) and the future of education that you might want to read:


Understandably, most institutions still lack a formal strategy or approach to advance the effective use of emerging AI solutions at this early stage. Initial development is well underway on AI solutions aimed at improving administrative processes and daily operations. Much work is yet to be done on adaptive 'personalized education' programs, individualized assessment and feedback, intelligent tutoring, use of immersive technologies, 'accelerated learning' programs for motivated students, augmented and virtual reality, mobile ‘learning companions’, gamification and more.

 

It will be interesting to see the changes to our education system that will unfold over the coming decade, It's interesting to take a quick look back at the History of Public Schools and when they came into being in the U.S.
