Ai Is Set To Transform Education — What Enterprise Leaders Can Learn From This Development

Join our daily and weekly newsletters for the latest updates and exclusive content on industry-leading AI coverage. Learn More. After six decades of dreaming and experimenting, we might be on the cusp of a technology-enabled revolution in education. The Arizona State Board for Charter Schools recently approved the application by Unbound Academy for a new online school that will replace traditional teachers with AI teaching assistants, promising to deliver 2.4 times the academic growth for students compared to results from conventional schools. This advance is not the result of another incremental tech experiment — instead, it represents the latest chapter in a 60-year quest in computer assisted instruction (CAI) to transform education through technology. This time, the evidence suggests a true breakthrough might be near. If this Academy and similar initiatives are successful, it will mark the fulfillment of a long-held dream.  The idea of using computers to assist student learning dates to the 1950s, with the first application —Programmed Logic for Automatic Teaching Operations (PLATO) — appearing in 1961
