How Artificial Intelligence Is Shaping the Future of Education

Thanks to advances in AI and machine learning, a slow but steady transformation is coming to education -- under the hood. When you compare the typical 21st century classroom with that of the early 1900s, the differences aren't terribly obvious. Teachers will be standing in front, giving instructions and sharing notes on a modern-day version of the old blackboard -- say, an overhead projector or a shared computer display. Students will be sitting at their desks in the classroom or watching via online video-conferencing software. The technology has changed: A lot of the tools and processes have been digitized, some of it has been automated, and geographical barriers have been removed to some extent -- but the actors and elements have remained much the same.
