5 predictions about education in the age of AI

Thanks to AI, 1:1 education becomes mainstream, personalized learning is easy, and many new learning assessment tools appear…

When OpenAI released the ChatGPT chatbot, educators could feel the power of ChatGPT almost immediately. Education was one of the first areas to adopt AI. Programs like ChatGPT have introduced AI to millions of children, teachers, and administrators. Here are five predictions about the impact of AI on the future of education.

1:1 education model becomes a trend

The model of receiving 1:1 learning guidance such as tutoring, coaching, and mentoring was previously only available to the well-to-do. AI helps this one-on-one model reach a wider audience. AI has the potential to act as a one-on-one tutor for anyone, provided it is provided with in-depth knowledge as well as emotional and behavioral support.

Artificial intelligence can also help learners gain access to experts and celebrities in the academic world. For example, an early-stage startup can chat with an AI version of Marc Andreessen (author of the web browser Mosaic, co-founder of Netscape) on demand - like how the Delphi startup is developing apps WHO. Or the Historical Figures app on the App Store now allows users to chat with important historical figures like Abraham Lincoln, Plato and Benjamin Franklin AI versions.

Personalized learning becomes a reality

With AI, curricula can all be personalized, ranging from learning styles and needs (e.g. images, text, audio) to content types (e.g. favorite characters, genres). favourite). AI can help fill in learners' knowledge gaps more precisely: software can track learners' knowledge, check progress, and then iterate or reformat customized content for learners based on the person's knowledge and knowledge gaps.

Educational adjustment towards individualization will make learners more engaged in learning. AI also helps to better deal with different audiences - from good learners to kids who are slow to understand a particular concept or topic, from students who are afraid to raise their hands in class to those who are afraid to speak up. Students with special learning needs...

AI-powered tools for both teachers and students on the rise

Students and educators are natural trendsetters for productivity software. In fact, these are the first people to use the products of startups like Canva and Qualtrics to collect data or build a yearbook... Students at the University of Western Australia (where the founders are). Canva attended) chose the Canva design platform to build a yearbook for her school.

AI tools also effectively support teachers, especially public teachers, who are always overloaded with work, leaving them with little time to follow up with students. AI can assist teachers in lesson planning and grading, as it learns from millions of previous educational materials. Freed up time, teachers can focus on giving individual attention to each student.

New learning assessment tools to be developed

Since ChatGPT appeared, community educators have begun to debate how to assess learning, enrollment. Many schools around the world, including New York and Seattle, have now banned ChatGPT and other AI related websites.

Meanwhile, many educators believe that ChatGPT should be integrated into learning, and that leveraging AI will be an important career skill in the future. To realize this, we need to make a series of adjustments in the classroom and how learning outcomes are measured.

Reactions to ChatGPT are similar to how the world embraces a host of other technologies such as Wikipedia, computers, the internet, personal laptops... In the end, these products have all become important technologies for study. One issue to consider, however, is that access to this technology can create educational inequalities. Students who have access to educational technology will have an advantage. The gap between students with and without access to AI technology will continue to grow.

Fact checking becomes important when "truth" is distorted

"Truth" in the age of AI is a matter of concern. Algorithms are built on pre-existing data, but all of this data is currently still subject to human judgment and behavior. This means that social biases, from racism, sexism, etc. can be fed into algorithms, and these biases will continue to be amplified without ethical prudence. in design.

In a biased environment, it is entirely possible for AI to provide false information (either truth or fake news). AI-generated answers are especially dangerous today because they can easily compose coherent prose and can fool us into believing that the information provided is accurate and true. How do we curate high-quality and truly accurate content in an age where anyone (including artificial intelligence) can create content, information? At this point, the actual test methods will become more important than ever.
