“Some people call this artificial intelligence, but the reality is this technology will enhance us. So instead of artificial intelligence, I think we’ll augment our intelligence.” — Ginni Rometty

What is AI and how is it impacting us?

Artificial intelligence (AI) is a scientific discipline that is dedicated to creating machines that are smart enough to mimic humans in learning, problem-solving ability, decision-making capacity, perceptual learning, and language understanding. In simple words, artificial intelligence is about creating robots capable of adapting, thinking, and acting like humans.

There’s no way you haven’t heard of ChatGPT yet. AI chatbot platforms are being widely used across fields and disciplines to simplify, streamline and assist with everyday tasks. However, ChatGPT is merely one of many AI solutions for making our lives easier. While academic research might have been the initial idea for generative AI, the emergence of AI technologies has the potential to revolutionize everything - from the most complex to the most mundane tasks - and as a class provider, there are several ways in which you can use this technology to the best of your advantage.

How can AI help you as a class provider?

Content

Over and above the usual duties that being a class provider entails, today’s digital age also demands ingenious content and design. While you’re in the process of creating content and going through the various stages of creativity, you might sometimes fall short of ideas, the right words to describe them, or getting them across to the ideal audience.

AI is adept at optimizing the content creation process - be it generating ideas for presentations (or designing entire presentations itself!), creating courses, generating and editing SEO-friendly articles and blogs, or producing crisp copy; AI can help you with anything.

Grading

Manual grading is a tedious, time-consuming task that requires a lot of effort. Checking and evaluating each student’s work is the core fundamental of assigning grades, or, grading. As AI is evolving, many ed-tech companies are developing AI graders that can help class providers across fields grade papers.

Personalized learning

Every learner has a unique mind and pace at which they learn and adapt to things, and individually looking into and after every learner’s needs can prove to be challenging. While there are ways to improve and make learning more enjoyable and learners more motivated, artificial intelligence has the potential to allow students to learn at their own pace, cater to their educational needs, and have them reach their full potential.

Machine learning and AI algorithms can predict results that can adapt to the learner’s progress from time to time, and with personalized learning, artificial intelligence will have the capacity to answer any question and clear any kind of doubt a student has or asks.

Another major advantage of AI in personalized learning is catering to learners with special needs. Accessibility to and inclusion of new tools and products will help students learn and adjust to their learning challenges at their own pace and provide them with opportunities to excel.

Here are some tools that can help students with personalized learning:

  • Synthesis Tutor - an AI math tutor that incorporates team thinking games to enhance students' decision-making skills and transform them into effective communicators.

Automation

Many of the tasks that we perform on a daily basis are repetitive, prone to errors and take up a lot of our time and effort.

Doing repetitive work at regular intervals tends to get monotonous, but integrating AI automation into these processes can increase speed, save time, enhance the quality of the work, and as a result, improve efficiency.

Some helpful tools for automation include:

  • Zapier - an online automation tool that connects your apps and services, allowing you to easily link ChatGPT with more than 5000 apps.
  • Bardeen - a no-code automation tool that assists in managing repetitive tasks across apps.
