Artificial Intelligence

in Education

REDOM O. CANDELARIA
What is Artificial Intelligence?
 AI is programming a computer (or any device) to perform a task that traditionally is
only possible with human intelligence due to its complexity.
 Summing numbers from 1 to 1,000,000,000,000:
 Not complex. Easy for a computer. Probably difficult for a human (time, errors).
 No AI required

 Grading a 10,000 word essay on one of Shakespeare’s works?


 Complex. Difficult for a computer. Not too difficult for (an expert) human (but time
consuming)
 AI required!
What is Artificial Intelligence?

 AI affects (most of) us every day


 Voice commands on phone require AI
 Serversthat run AI algorithms are on the cloud (that’s why it doesn’t work
without internet) example: Alexa, Siri, Okay Google
 Google Translate
 Not just a simple dictionary operation. Uses AI.1
 Facebook image tagging uses AI (automatic tagging of photos)
 Facial recognition uses AI. (unlocking of phone using facial recognition)
Artificial Intelligence in Education (AIEd)
 AI holds great promise for education.
 AIEd investigates learning wherever it occurs, in traditional
classrooms or in workplaces, in order to support formal education as
well as lifelong learning.
 It brings together AI, which is itself interdisciplinary, and the learning
sciences (education, psychology, neuroscience, linguistics, sociology,
and anthropology) to promote the development of adaptive learning
environments and other AIEd tools that are flexible, inclusive,
personalised, engaging, and effective.
Artificial Intelligence in Education (AIEd)
 Picture a classroom from 50 years ago.
 Compare it to today’s classroom.
 We need to break free from our factory-model educational
systems.
 To effect a big change, we need a revolution – that revolution could
be the application of artificial intelligence to education.
Where is AIEd
Today?
 In the last decade, artificial intelligence and adaptive technologies have
begun to mature, making both mastery learning and one-on-one
instructional methods more scalable than Bloom ever could have
imagined.
 However, these technologies have yet to coalesce into widely adopted systems to
facilitate teaching.
 There have however been major strides in technologies to help teachers
currently teaching in traditional models, particularly in freeing up their
time so that they can tend to tasks for which human intelligence is still
required.
What will AIEd do for us
soon?
 Free up teacher time so that they can tend to tasks for which human intelligence is still
required.
 Complement existing learning analytics by providing just-in-time information about
learners’ successes, challenges, and needs which can be used to shape their learning
experiences.
 Help learners gain 21st century skills by helping us develop reliable and valid indicators to
track learner progress, including characteristics such as creativity and curiosity that are
notoriously difficult to measure.
 Provide new insights that are difficult or impossible to ascertain from traditional
assessments.
 For example, datasets could help teachers understand how learners arrive at answers,
not just if they selected the correct one.
What does all of this mean for you?
 You have (very most likely) already used AI, or been affected
by AI in your daily life.
 But, AI tools and implications are coming to education, and
coming fast.
 Unless you are retiring soon, you will see these tools in your
career.
 Be ready.
 Be informed!
So

 Will AI replace teachers completely (as some claim)?

AI will never replace teachers, but teachers


capable of technology will replace those
teachers who are incapable of technologies and
AI
