With the rise of AI, there has been an increased focus on global education. As the world becomes more interconnected, it is important for students to be able to learn about different cultures and perspectives. AI can help to provide students with a more comprehensive education by providing access to a wealth of information from around the world. In addition, it can help to customize learning experiences to individual students, making sure that each student receives the best possible education. As AI continues to evolve, it will likely have an even greater impact on education, making it more accessible and effective than ever before.

However, this may not necessarily apply to the education sector. After a detailed analysis of more than 2,000-plus work activities for more than 800 occupations, a report by McKinsey & Co states that of all the sectors examined, "…the technical feasibility of automation is lowest in education." There is no doubt that technological trends will have a powerful impact on global education, both by improving the overall learning experience and by increasing global access to education. Massive open online courses (MOOCs), chatbotChatbots are computer programs which were engineered to converse in spoken or written form with humans. They are usually used in dialogue systems with a limited topic range. For example, they can answer basic customer questions or help you buy the correct train ticket.

We've all heard the warning cries: automation will disrupt entire industries and put millions of people out of jobs. In fact, up to 45 percent of existing jobs can be automated using current technology. However, this may not necessarily apply to the education sector.

Consumers are rooting for AI, but many also see some potential pitfalls. Artificial intelligence is viewed as a way to solve issues ranging from those related to cybersecurity and privacy to global education, based on a study out today. The study is based on a survey of a nationally representative sample of 2,500 U.S. consumers and business decision makers aimed at exploring attitudes towards artificial intelligence conducted by PwC. Participants were screened for basic familiarity with AI. The majority (63%) of consumers say AI will help solve complex problems that plague modern societies and 59% say it will help people live more fulfilling lives.

Since then, many more programs have been developed to expand the range of opportunities for global education, including student and teacher travel, global curriculum, programs to support teachers, and programs that deploy internet-based communication technologies to facilitate teacher and student global collaboration such as iEarn, the Global Scholars program at Bloomberg Philanthropies or the Out of Eden Project at Project Zero at the Harvard Graduate School of Education. The Asia Society has developed excellent materials to support curriculum development, teacher preparation and collective leadership on global education. Organizations like the Peace Corps or World Teach provide college graduates opportunities to develop their global skills through global service.
