AI-based tutoring: A new kind of personalized learning
The Discovery Channel’s This is AI looks at how artificial intelligence (AI) is changing the world now, the scientists shaping it, and the lives affected by this nascent technology.
This is especially significant in the education industry with the increasing need for lifelong learning. The future of digital learning offers the potential of even greater tools and supports. Imagine lifelong learning companions powered by AI that can accompany and support individual learners throughout their studies – in and beyond school – or new forms of assessment that measure learning while it is taking place, shaping the learning experience in real time.
While the full potential of the application of AI is being discovered with each day, today there are students and educators benefitting from a new kind of personalized learning.
IBM Watson Tutor: Personalized learning on a whole new level
Existing and emergent technology should be leveraged to address some of the most intractable issues in education, including achievement gaps. And ultimately, AI and machine learning will help us respond to the changing education landscape – the need, in a jobs market re-shaped by technology, to help learners achieve at higher levels, and in a wider set of skills.
