AI will disrupt but will the positive outweigh the negative?

So, what happens when you ask Bard, Google’s new AI competitor to ChatGPT, a question? Well, we did just that and here’s what it said about the potential impact AI could have on teaching and learning.

AI has the potential to revolutionise education by making it more personalised, efficient, and effective. By understanding how AI can be used in education, students, teachers, and parents can prepare for the future of learning.

If you listen and learn, you will understand how AI can be used to positively disrupt teaching and learning. You will also be able to identify the challenges of using AI in education and how to overcome them.

By understanding how AI can be used in education, you will be able to prepare for the future of learning. You will also be able to help others understand how AI can be used to improve education.

How AI can personalise learning

One of the most promising applications of AI in education is the use of personalised learning. AI can be used to create personalised learning experiences for each student, based on their individual needs and interests. This can be done by using AI to track student progress, identify areas where students need additional support, and recommend resources that are relevant to each student’s needs.

Personalised learning can be a powerful tool for students of all ages and abilities. It can help students learn at their own pace, in their own way, and on their own terms. It can also help students stay motivated and engaged in their learning.

How AI can automate tasks

AI can also be used to automate many of the tasks that are currently done by teachers. This includes tasks such as marking papers, providing feedback, and creating lesson plans. Automating these tasks can free up teachers to spend more time on tasks that require human judgement, such as interacting with students and providing one-on-one support.

Automating tasks can also help to reduce the amount of time that students spend on homework and other tasks. This can free up students to spend more time on activities that they enjoy and that are beneficial to their learning.

How AI can provide feedback

AI can also be used to provide feedback to students. This feedback can be used to help students identify areas where they need additional support and to track their progress over time. AI can also be used to provide students with personalised feedback, which can help them to learn more effectively.

Providing feedback is an important part of the learning process. It can help students build autonomy and self-track their achievements and areas for improvement — they have ownership of their learning.

The challenges of using AI in education

There are a number of challenges that need to be addressed in order to use AI effectively in education. These challenges include:

• The need for large amounts of data to train AI systems
• The need for AI systems to be able to understand and respond to human language
• The need for AI systems to be able to generalise to new situations
• The need for AI systems to be able to explain their decisions

Despite these challenges, AI has the potential to revolutionise education by making it more personalised, efficient, and effective. By understanding how AI can be used in education, students, teachers, and parents can prepare for the future of learning.
