10 ways Artificial Intelligence will impact education sector

With the advancement in technology, there have been ample of Next big things to watch out for in the coming years. For decades scientists and researchers have been predicting the astounding revolutions that will arise with the growth of Artificial Intelligence (AI). From the intelligent sensors that make a car drive autonomously to the mobile assistants, we are already surrounded by artificial intelligence in some way or the other at all times. Now is the time for a sector like education to initiate talks about the boon and challenges created by AI equipped teaching systems that can transform the way classrooms function.

The clear near future benefits for AI is to assist and help teachers by taking over time consuming, grading, maintaining records and some other low value tasks. In addition to that, there are already newer systems that will be launched sometime soon which will raise questions on the way entire education system functions.

Below are few advantages and challenges that could impact artificial intelligence:

1. Time Saving for Professors/ Teacher: Artificial intelligence systems can take control of many factors in classroom. It can take over control of accounting process and automated grading of student. This will free up additional time for lecturer to dedicate for classroom.

2. Students could get added support from AI tutors: While there are obviously services machine can’t offer that human tutors can. In coming years the education sector will witness massive changes. Several training programs based on AI already exists and can enhance students through basic mathematics, writing, and other topic.

3. Customizing AI would enhance students’ health: If Artificial Intelligence permits mass customization, then it can improve student’s schedules which can be better matched to their sleep needs. This would also end the concerns of students and their parents that their children’s do not get adequate sleep.

4. AI-driven functionality can give students and educators useful feedback: AI can not only help teachers and students to craft courses under syllabus that are modified to their requirements, but it also gives feedback to both students and lecturers about the success of the course as a whole. Some schools, especially those with online courses, are using such systems to scrutinize student growth and are spreading awareness amongst professors when there might be a problem with student performance. This systems permits students to get the education support system and for professors to find areas where they can improve their instruction skills for students who struggle with the topic.

5. A teacher’s intuition might conflict with sensor data: AI powered voice and facial recognition can provide learning systems with data based on emotions to which they can further customize machine teaching systems.

6. AI could make schoolhouses obsolete in near future: AI education systems allow for personalized curriculums that would diminish the want for classrooms and lecturers. Traditionally, schools might evolve into smaller, distributed structures and specialized learning centers.

7. New reorganization to Tutoring: Studies explains that a key factor in successful training is providing instant feedback to the student after the lecture session. AI-powered apps help in effectively providing targeted, personalized feedback to the student.

8. Parent-controlled education will be new and complicated: The society across the country is not familiar in a way that makes it convenient for parents to play the hands-on role that AI education may require. Similarly, this leads to critical new decisions for parents, students and employers.

9. Educational application can be custom-made to student needs: From pre-school to high school, one of the essential ways artificial intelligence will impact learning is through the various software’s of greater intensity of individualized learning. Some of this is already happening through rising numbers of adaptive education programs, gaming, and software. These systems retort to the needs of the student and teachers, putting greater emphasis on certain topics. Enabling repeated lessons that students haven’t mastered, and generally helping students to work at their own pace, space and liberty.

10. It can point out places where courses need to improve: The intelligence system propose a way to point out gaps and help solve various problems. As tutors sometimes are not alert of gaps in their lectures and educational courses that may put students in confused state about certain topics.

AI has the potential to modify the quality, quantity, delivery, and nature of education. It also promises to change forever the role of parents, students, teachers, and educational systems. Using Artificial Intelligence systems, software and support, students can learn from across the world at any time. These kinds of applications are taking the place of certain types of classroom instruction and may replace teachers in some cases.
