Artificial Intelligence is here to stay, no matter how much people try to steer away from content and media developed by generative AI, it has already shaped many industries around it and has effectively integrated itself into many online communities and organizations and is now a staple in many industries. Its significant impact on the public sectors is already making many actions much more efficient and time saving. From helping Police to identify criminals, to creating complex data and giving out efficient numerical analysis on complex problems, artificial intelligence is the key to a bright and efficient future.
AI has also had a significant impact in education, however due to plagiarism and cheating concerns, many classrooms and educational institutes have banned the use of AI in their assignments. However integrating AI in the classroom atmosphere can only bring a positive result.
Here is everything you need to know about how AI can transform education.
How could AI help teachers?
From drafting curriculum plans to producing high-quality teaching resources, AI has the potential to reduce the amount of time teachers spend doing administrative tasks, so they can focus on what they do best, teaching and supporting their pupils.
There is so much untapped potential for AI to give teachers a helping hand with classroom life. That’s why we are funding the development of brand new AI tools for education. These tools truly stretch the capabilities of what AI can do, from assessing handwritten work to giving feedback on hand-drawn geography maps and even recognising mistakes in soldering on circuit boards made by engineering students.
Time previously spent on burdensome marking and admin allows teachers to focus on teaching.
Will AI make Teachers Lose Their Jobs?
No, although the use of artificial intelligence will significantly impact the teaching methods of multiple teachers, and many teachers will have to learn to utilize AI correctly to generate only the best results. Although this would slightly reduce the number of teachers that are not able to implement AI in their teaching methods. However the effect it would have on teachers retaining their jobs would be irrelevant.
The use of Artificial Intelligence will only increase teachers’ ability to make students understand their subjects better. AI is a tool, not a replacement device. Good teachers are key to raising standards in education. Using AI to reduce workload could also help address the recruitment and retention challenges in teaching – helping to restore teaching as an attractive profession. These tools have the potential to make a difference to the everyday lives of teachers, and will help them focus on what matters, teaching.
How AI has Helped
Here are a few points where AI has been developed to specifically help increase efficiency in the education sector.
- The launching of AI tools in education competitions and content stores.
- Investment of up to 2 million in AI tools in National Oak Academy
- Easy access of open source information through use of Chatgpt
- Giving High quality Personalized feedback to each student. Ensuring each and every student works on their own mistakes in their own manner.
- Customized learning methods for each different student.
- Customized data collection and notes making for students who have a hard time understanding the concepts
- Ensuring paper checking is fair and developing an adequate Attendance system. Giving teachers more time to focus on teaching
Will AI Revolutionize the Education Sector?
Although the use of Artificial Intelligence algorithms and sorting algorithms will severely affect the time consuming efforts of paper checking and attendance. It will not completely revolutionize the education sector. As many things will still remain the same. However the use of AI will help many students achieve personal milestones and goals towards their educational life. It will also provide teachers with the efficiency and calculations and improve the accuracy of results and feedback given by teachers according to the students’ performances.
In short, AI is a helpful tool and should be used to make education easier and much more accessible to students and teachers alike. This increase in efficiency will significantly boost the performance index of both teachers and students and will increase the students’ learning ability.
AI is here to stay, and we must adapt to it to fully gain the benefits from it.
