AI or Artificial Intelligence is the new mantra of life. It has been there in the technology driven industries like the supply chains for a few years now but gradually other sectors are opening up to it.
The AI enabled operation has reached every sphere in life – from mass production to deliveries to schools to hospitals to mental health support. Artificial Intelligence is addressing the employment and skill gap issue, all the while making our life easier and understandable.
So much so that, schools and universities have understood the importance of AI and machine learning in making the pupils learn in a more sustainable manner which enhances their specific aptitude and skill. They know it’s here to stay and it will take us to the future. That’s why AI and Machine Learning are being introduced to kids at an early age as it can develop the nascent brain quickly.
The earlier you start using the better is your prospect of benefiting from it.
So, let’s take a look how AI and Machine Learning helps our kids to learn better and develop a thinking for the future.
Addresses the Teacher-Student Gap
As we have seen in other sectors, AI and Machine Learning is being used in the education sector to tend to the gaps in the system, making it resilient.
It’s something like Isaac Asimov’s story where robots replace teachers. While teachers can’t be replaced artificial intelligence and machine learning can make them more efficient by reducing their mundane work. So, the regular tasks of homework, screening and test development can be done through AI while the teacher tends to each student’s needs and caters to their personal queries. This eventually gives the child scope for better interaction and learning
Reduces The Disparity in Learning
With AI and Machine Learning, the disparity in learning might reduce to a great extent as this can be used to enhance the cognitive and noncognitive levels of individuals to develop a way of teaching suitable for them. AI can also solve the teacher student unavailability ratio as a single teacher can simultaneously reach out to more students with this. Also, this makes way for more collaboration and interaction amongst the kids which ultimately helps them provide a wider perspective, making their learning comprehensive. In today’s pandemic driven world, when the world is moving towards a virtual life, this is one avenue which helps us to grow and learn
24/7 Individual Support & Learning
AI learning isn’t restricted to the classroom and to the syllabus alone. It is a hassle free life process which lets the kid think and react, resulting in better analytical and interpersonal skills. Like a mental health support system, AI enabled educational systems can be made available to the kids 24/7. So whenever they have a query or a curiosity they can converse and share it with other students in the forum. Moreover, AI enabled platforms lets you rejoin your classes where you left off. So, you can go back and play it again to learn what you overlooked before. It can also make a huge pool of resources and activities available for the kids based on their cognitive level and interest. This individualized yet uniform learning is the right step towards learning
With the correct usage of AI, no child will say in the future like Einstein that “My Education Is the Only Thing That Comes in the Way of My Learning”
Powered by an inclusive learning, man one day will fulfil his basic instinct, which Einstein referred to as “What flying is to birds, thinking is to humans”
