The Next Frontier of Learning Engineering: AI That Teaches Other AI - EdSurge News

Humans tutoring other humans works pretty well. The trouble is, it requires a lot of people. Artificially intelligent tools tutoring humans works pretty well, too--but building those digital systems takes time and expertise. So researchers hoping to engineer better teaching and learning systems are working to unlock a new level of education efficiency by creating AI tools that make it easier for almost anyone to build an AI tutor. "We are trying to leverage the joint power of human tutoring and computer tutoring," says Ken Koedinger, a professor of human-computer interaction and psychology at Carnegie Mellon University.
