Artificial Intelligence and Education

18. What isAI?
Artificial Intelligence refers to those
computer systems which are both
autonomous and adaptive.
Autonomy:
The ability to perform tasks in complex environments
without constant guidance by a user.
Adaptivity:
The ability to improve performance by learning from
experience.

AI is likely to change the role of
SecondaryTeachers:
 There will be fewer teachers delivering
content.
 Teachers will be the ‘guide on the side’.
 There will be ‘student motivators’.

48. Drivers behindAI
in Education
1. Teacher
Shortages
Source: UNESCO Institute of Statistics, Fact Sheet No.39 October 2016
The world will need a total of
44.4 million secondary teachers
by 2030.
27.6 million to replace those who leave;
16.7 million additional teachers.

49. Drivers behindAI
in Education
1. Teacher
Shortages
Source: UNESCO Institute of Statistics, Fact Sheet No.39 October 2016
The present model of one teacher
standing in front of a class of
20-30 pupils is unsustainable.
