Your Next Training Session Might be Taught by an AI

These days, education is more important to businesses than ever. Not only do companies need to keep employees properly trained and certified, but employers also have to be mindful of how their remote employees are educating their children: Parents who are dissatisfied with how their kids are learning or who are even resorting to homeschooling will probably demonstrate the impact of those burdens in terms of productivity. One option that could make both of those scenarios easier is using artificial intelligence (AI) for teaching--and it's not as far-fetched as you might think. A recent study by Tidio, an AI chatbot developer for apps such as help desks, shows that 53% of its US respondents said they'd be fine with an AI teaching their kids. The study collected answers from 1,027 respondents using Amazon's Mechanical Turk and Reddit.
