AI – potential capabilities in the field of education

A brief use of ChatGTP (and its derivatives such as Dali) evokes bewilderment and wonder. A system that really understands what I’m asking and gives answers to the point (most of the time). There is no doubt that over time new applications will be developed around the basic capability. An example of improvements that may be added: a possibility to speak (and maybe even think) to the system and receive a verbal answer; a possibility to give tasks to the system, starting from a simple task like ‘Book me tickets to a show I like’, to complex tasks such as ‘Help the student understand how to solve a quadratic equation’; historical memory of the user’s desires, abilities and preferences.

Assuming that there will be such capabilities available, I tried to think (and even consulted with ChatGPT) what could be done with it in the future in the field of education. And here are some ideas:

>> Helping the teacher to build creative lesson plan for learning a certain material.

>> Help in identifying the student’s abilities and preferences (for example, a student who studies better in the evening, or who prefers visual material, understands better through examples, etc.).

>> Adapting assignments to the student – according to his abilities and preferences.

>> Self-study – the system directs the student in the field that interests him according to his level and progress rate.

>> Error correction – the system follows the solution proposed by the student and helps him understand where he went wrong or recommends possible directions to continue when he gets stuck.

>> Teaching assistant – following identification of a student having difficulty in a certain area a teacher directs the student to work with a dedicated teaching assistant focusing on the requested subject.

>> Online bullying – detection and filtering of online bullying directed at a male or female student.

Some of the above ideas already exist today (such as help in building lesson plans – I tried, it works!), some already have buds and will develop in the future (such as self-study), and some do not yet exist (such as identifying the student’s abilities and preferences).

AI – let’s sort it out

Similar to smart phone applications such as navigation, digital books, camera or electronic wallet that create a tool for everyone, also in the field of AI applications will be developed for uses that are only limited by our imagination.

AI – not in our school

It seems that ChatGPT and similar ones have many advantages for the education system, and despite that, there is a good chance that they will be bypassed by the education system without affecting it.

AI – an inevitable technology?

People naturally resist change. The use of technology can be resisted up to a certain limit. Some technologies overcome resistance and are therefore inevitable. Does artificial intelligence have the potential to become inevitable in the education system?

AI – “Why do I need it?”, the teacher asked.

A teacher needs to teach and educate, why does she need to understand AI, when until today all the new technologies have only interfered. The post tries to find positive reasons that will prove that it is worth being involved with this specific technology.

AI – everything is personal (personalization)

It took me decades to understand how I learn best, if only we had a tool that could identify the learning style of our students and help us teach them individually 😊. This is exactly what this post talks about.

AI – what about the students?

For the children starting school now, AI will be the natural thing, and it will not seem strange to them to consult a machine and trust its advice, to stay with it at all hours of the day and treat it like a close friend.

AI and singularity in education

AI is getting better and better, and there is a chance that it will be able to make decisions better than us (even if it will not feel pain, happiness or love). This post explores the point where the machine will be able to teach, in many aspects better than a flesh and blood teacher.

AI – ethics

AI is a pre-trained system that bases its decisions on the available data. If there is a bias within the training database AI could come up with unethical conclusions.

AI – learning Spanish

In the future any translation app will be of a better quality than using a non-native language. So why do I learn English? For the same reason I study history – interest and development of cognitive abilities. In this post I imagine how it will be possible to learn in the future any field.

AI – about privacy

Since I believe that artificial intelligence will only be effective when it knows us personally, the question is how we deal with privacy and information security issues?

AI – should we be afraid?

Changes cause a reaction of rejection and fear, but past experience shows that in the end the demon is not so terrible. In this post we will examine whether artificial intelligence should be feared.

AI – parental control

The temptations today are much more sophisticated, as are the controls. AI will raise the level of sophistication. So what about the parents?

AI – real or a dream ?

In 2004, DARPA (the US Development Agency) launched a competition to create an autonomous car and the results were promising. 20 years have passed, an autonomous car is here but not really. Is it the fate of AI that soon it will change the world, but not really?

AI – business model and education

Does OpenAI pose a real challenge to Google’s business model? In the post I will try to present a solution for Google (and the like) and also help the education system.
