Artificial intelligence in education: promises and implications for teaching and learning

Submitted by admin on
Abstract

Artificial intelligence (AI) is arguably the driving technological force of the first half of this century, and will transform virtually every industry, if not human endeavors at large. Businesses and governments worldwide are pouring enormous sums of money into a very wide array of implementations, and dozens of start-ups are being funded to the tune of billions of dollars. It would be naive to think that AI will not have an impact on education - au contraire, the possibilities there are profound yet, for the time being, overhyped as well. This book attempts to provide the right balance between reality and hype, between true potential and wild extrapolations. The first part of this book explores the question: What should students learn in an age of AI? And all the corollary, provocatively phrased questions: “If you can search, or have an intelligent agent find, anything, why learn anything? What is truly worth learning?”. The second part of this book addresses the question: How can AI enhance and transform education?
