The Future's Teacher: Hello, I am AI

 

The future’s teacher: Hello, I am AI

 

"The future belongs to those who can harness data, information, and knowledge. And that requires artificial intelligence." - Patrick Gelsinger, CEO of Intel

 

Artificial Intelligence had already made significant revolution in almost all parts of the society, industries, field. Education is also one of the parts of such revolution. The revolution and any changes are come through education and that’s how education is one of the most and important pillars of society. Because any revolution and changes are not taking proper substance without proper education. There is one famous quote which is “A father will happy, when his son feet are fit in his shoes”. AI is like that son. Who fit his feet in his father shoes to teach the world.

 

There are several uses of AI in education and learning purpose. It helps to student to learn new thigs easily, smartly and with good efficiency. It also helpful for the teacher to better teach, provide good amount of knowledge, provide better and good information and become the great man. With the use of AI educators and learner can access personalized learning experience, intelligent tutoring and adaptive assessment that can help them to achieve the academic goal.

 

Use of Artificial intelligence in Education and Learning

·         Personalised Learning: One of the most significant advantages of AI in education and learning is the ability to personalize learning experiences. AI algorithms and its systems can analyse the data on the basis a student's performance, such as test scores, homework assignments, class performance, activities, ability of learning and quizzes, to identify individual student strengths and weaknesses. This analysed data can then be used to create personalized learning plans, personalized assignment, modules that easily helps to each student's needs. The new learning plans include adapted lesson content, learning goals, quizzes, weekly or monthly test, video lectures, funny or engageable content on the basis of each student and study materials, which can help the students stay engaged and motivated to learn.

 

·         Intelligent Adaptation: Intelligent Adaptation systems, powered by AI, can provide the students with personalized feedback, support, and guidance on their learning journey. These systems can identify when a student is struggling in learning and provide targeted assistance and proper information to help them overcome the challenge and learn new things. The systems can also adapt to the student's pace of learning, presenting information at a rate that which can be comfortable for the student to learn.

 

·         Content Creation: AI is also useful for the teacher as well. The most headache task for teacher is to create the best and student engageable content, which can help the student to stay motivated and not becoming bored or frustrated. AI can also be used to create educational content for better teaching, such as videos, simulations, related images, effects and interactive modules. These resources can be adapted to suit the needs of individual students, or can be used to supplement traditional classroom instruction. For example, AI-powered virtual labs can provide the students with hands-on experience in a safe and controlled environment.

 

·         Virtual Assistants: Intelligent virtual assistants, powered by AI, can help the students with administrative tasks to track and manage, such as scheduling and tracking assignments, as well as answering questions and providing support for any query regarding its class and module. These systems can help to reduce the workload of teachers and administrators’ staff of institute, which can help them to manage his time and freeing up time for more important tasks, such as lesson planning and personalized instruction for student.

 

·         Parents friendly: AI is not only for the student and for the teacher but it’s also useful for the students’ parents. They can use this toll to track the data of his son or daughter and they can take appropriate stapes accordingly. There is always worried and common question of parents is, what is my child doing and is he studying well or not. With the use of AI, now parents can also track record of his child.

 

·         One stop solution: AI can play the role as one stop solution for various ways. Such as for storing and managing the data, managing the student information, creating the modules, lectures, notes and other document for teaching.

Apart from the above use, AI had lots of other important use in education and learning purpose. As AI is self-learner and self-improver, it will improve its self and provide more services and make the AI tool easier in nearby future.

 

Can AI Replace the Teacher in Future?

Despite the benefits of AI system in education and learning, it's unlikely that AI will replace teachers altogether. While AI can provide personalized learning experiences, intelligent adaptation, and adaptive assessments, it cannot replace the human touch and emotional intelligence that teachers bring to the classroom and which is required for student to learn and help them to study. Teachers are essential in helping students develop critical thinking, creativity, and problem-solving skills, which are difficult to replicate with AI. As education expert Sir Ken Robinson said, "The role of a teacher is to facilitate learning, rather than provide information, and that's what AI cannot do."

 

The Future of Education Industries

The education industry is already seeing the benefits of AI, and the future looks promising more of uses. AI-powered education systems will become more sophisticated, providing even more personalized learning experiences, intelligent adaptation, and adaptive assessments. As AI technology advances, we may see the emergence of virtual teachers, who can provide personalized one-on-one instruction to students from anywhere in the world. The future of education will be more accessible, engaging, and innovative than ever before, thanks to AI technology.

Many notable figures have commented on the use of AI in education. Microsoft founder Bill Gates said, "Technology is just a tool. In terms of getting the kids working together and motivating them, the teacher is the most important." Education expert Sugata Mitra said, "The future of education is about empowering the learner, not just the teacher."

 

Current and future AI use in Education

Ø  Duolingo, a language learning platform that uses AI to personalize learning experiences

Ø  Carnegie Learning, an intelligent tutoring system that adapts to students' learning pace and provides feedback and support

Ø  SMART Learning Suite, an AI-powered platform that provides interactive and engaging lessons

Ø  Querium, an adaptive assessment tool that identifies student knowledge gaps and provides targeted learning support

One of the most significant upcoming AI projects in education is the creation of AI-powered chatbots that can provide students with instant support and feedback. These chatbots can be integrated into educational apps, websites, and learning management systems. Other upcoming AI projects in education include AI-powered content curation tools, personalized learning algorithms, and automated grading systems.

 

The Other Side of AI in Education

There are also concerns about AI in education, such as the potential for algorithmic bias and data privacy violations. It is essential to ensure that AI algorithms used in education are designed and tested to be free of bias. Adequate safeguards must also be put in place to protect the privacy and security of student data.

 

Artificial intelligence has the potential to transform education and learning. By leveraging AI technology, educators and learners can access personalized learning experiences, intelligent adaptation, and adaptive assessments that can help them achieve their academic goals. However, it is essential to consider the ethical implications of using AI in education, including issues related to data privacy and algorithmic bias. By addressing these concerns, we can create an educational environment that benefits all learners, regardless of their background or abilities.
