Four ways that AI can help students

As artificial intelligence systems play a bigger role in everyday life, they're changing the world of education, too. I am a literacy educator and researcher, and here are four ways I believe these kinds of systems can be used to help students learn. Teachers are taught to identify the learning goals of all students in a class and adapt instruction for the specific needs of individual students. But with 20 or more students in a classroom, fully customized lessons aren't always realistic. An AI system can observe how a student proceeds through an assigned task, how much time they take and whether they are successful.
