Exploring the Potential of AI

Expanded access to AI has prompted growing awareness that digital technologies, including artificial intelligence (AI), can change teaching and learning for the better. AI tools will alter how teachers and students access information and resources. New AI tools will also introduce more efficient ways to manage learning, lead to highly targeted decision-making and content, and boost productivity by reducing manual and rote tasks that generate little or no value.

What makes AI so attractive is its power to personalize content, deliver real-time feedback, and guide coaching and skills development. These capabilities can establish stronger links between curriculum and learning while enhancing student-teacher connections.

The key to success, of course, is understanding how, when, and where to use AI. Artificial intelligence cannot address all the problems in today’s educational system. In addition, there are practical concerns, ethical questions, and broader issues about how to use AI optimally and responsibly. This white paper explores the opportunities and challenges AI brings to education along with ethical and practical concerns that intersect with AI.
