Artificial Intelligence: The Road Ahead

The point has come where we begin to think if there actually is an area where artificial intelligence cannot be useful. It has started to change our life tremendously while proving to be extremely useful and beneficial for us. With the emergence of AI, automation has become the buzz word. Opportunity, safety and security are the slice of the bigger benefit, AI has come to offer. Automation in the educational sector started on a good note. Concepts like e Learning, and internet created the first ripple in the transformation of the educational sector. Virtual learning is now a trend and a biggest help in shaping how we will in future see and perceive education. Most of all, it will effectively bridge the gap between classroom and e Learning programs. Take a look at the many wonders it will bring about in K 12 education. 

Why AI? 

The smallest question ever, but a bigger answer is here. Intelligent automation is the right new buzz word. It is a mix of automation and artificial intelligence that will intelligently sense and generate huge amounts of data and other such information. They will also automate the entire workflow, thus learning and thereby adapting on the long run. 

Many best schools in Bangalore are starting to explore the possibilities of employing AI to education. See what they offer. 

Automation of grading system: 

It is now actually possible for teachers to automate grading for the multiple choices and fill in the blanks. Soon, essay grading automation will come up that will assist the teachers in the grading process, thereby allowing them more time for classroom teaching and training. 

The new teacher:  

It can be your new tutor. With the many tools AI has, it can now be your new tutor to help students learn better. Although they are yet to think as creative and unique as the teachers, it sure is a possibility in the near future. 

Feedback generation:  

Some schools have already employed AI to give feedback's to the students, that will precisely focus on the performance of the students and alert the teacher where the students need attention. They will also be used to give feedback to the educators.

Making learning easier:  

Part and parcel of every learning strategy is the trial and error learning. The very term ‘failing’ is scary for the students and is a biggest turn off for them. Being put on spot in front of the class and peers is not an effective or a desirable solution. AI will foster a judgement free space of learning from the trial and error methodology adopted by it. AI itself will grow in such a fashion and hence will offer students some of the simplest and finest way to learn through experience. 

The game changer

AI is truly a game changer. Starting from curriculum designing to helping students perform better, scientists are trying to build an effective solution to the many needed changes in the educational sector. It is not very difficult to predict where AI can take us in the future. One look its present capabilities and applications is enough to feel safe about the changes it can bring to the educational sector.
