I recently read an article about the growing use of artificial intelligence in the classroom. This is a topic completely new to me. “Third Space Learning” is a company that is for online math tutoring. They are exploring the idea of AI with this. Traditionally a lot of classrooms go off of the one-size-fits-all teaching approach. But most students do not learn like this. Most learn at different paces and have different progress rates. Teachers seem to have difficulty with meeting the learning needs of all their students and all their learning styles. Now artificial intelligence has been proving its role in numerous fields and showing a lot of transformations, so why not education?
The Al project by Third Space Learning aims to find, ”positive teaching and learning patterns.” They want to give real feedback and help online tutors become better at teaching. It is said that the program would detect if a student’s reaction to a concept follows a pattern of misunderstanding. The program having feedback will help enable it to determine the best path for students to follow towards the mastery of the topic.
I personally have not thought much about the use of AI in education, but it makes sense with the growth of use of programs with AI in other fields. I think that if the technology keeps progressing like it has been it will become something very useful to the field. I hope that one day it won't replace certain things in the classroom such as teachers. I think that human interaction in the classroom is necessary to learning and so I hope that that does not ever get taken away. I do think that AI can be helpful and useful in this situation and with tutoring so it is an interesting addition to the education world.

I also hope that AI does not replace teachers some time in the future, but the use of it is forever growing. I think people begin to use AI to either give more efficient ways on how to teach a certain topic. It could be things human can not necessarily comprehend yet mentally themselves but can program something to do it for them. sooner or later AI will be more prominent in our lives than we know.
