Intelligence Unleashed:
An Argument for AI in Education
What is AIEd?
Computer systems that
are articially intelligent
interact with the world
using capabilities (such
as speech recognition)
and intelligent behaviours
(such as using available
information to take the
most sensible actions
toward a stated goal)
that we would think of
as essentially human.
At the heart of articial
intelligence in education
is the scientic goal to
make knowledge, which
is often left implicit,
computationally precise
and explicit.
In other words, in addition
to being the engine behind
much ‘smart’ ed tech, AIEd
is designed to open up
the ‘black box of learning,’
giving us more ne-grained
understandings of how
learning actually happens.
Now we can...
Provide one-on-one
tutoring to every
student, in every subject
Provide intelligent
support to learners
working in a group
Create authentic virtual
learning environments
Soon we will...
Develop lifelong
learning companions
powered by AI that can
accompany and support
individual learners
throughout their studies
– in and beyond school
Develop new forms
of assessment that
measure learning while
it is taking place, shaping
the learning experience
in real time
These will help
us with...
Achievement Gaps
Teacher Retention
and Shortage
Ultimately, AIEd tools
will help teachers create
learning environments
that are more ecient,
exible and inclusive than
those currently available.
These tools will help
learners prepare for an
economy that is swiftly
being reshaped by
digital technologies.
