Make education participatory.

For those involved, new opportunities are being presented by the emergence of generative AI (GenAI) in education and the plethora of tools and applications that follow. The market for GenAI in education is expected to reach a size of about $5,523 million by 2032, with a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 39.5% between 2023 and 2032, according to MarketResearch.Biz. With AI tools’ human-like skills, the education sector’s financial constraints and labor-intensive procedures could be resolved, improving the learning environment for students.

The use of chatbots and other GenAI technologies to enable conversational learning will be a major trend in education in 2024. This method makes learning more dynamic and personalized, encouraging students to finish classes on time and giving them immediate feedback on their performance. Instantaneous answers to questions concerning the curriculum, session schedules, campus amenities, and library resources improve the quality of education overall.

Teachers could spend more time on key education activities like teaching and creating current curriculum if their administrative duties were automated. Virtual facilitators would actively support even the content-building task. Artificial intelligence (AI) systems could perform laborious and time-consuming chores like creating lesson plans, grading assignments, and creating reports, freeing up time for users to focus on personalizing content, providing feedback, and creating progress reports.

Since AI is making video easy and affordable, content will become more and more video enabled. It would be easy for teachers to produce content in one language and have the option to deliver the same program in multiple languages and formats without having to pay significant costs if virtual avatars could communicate in the languages that the students choose. Higher education institutions are adopting avatars to give instruction in order to reach a wider audience and more easily communicate with students worldwide, thanks to platforms like Heygen and Elai.io.

The other priority that GenAI could help with is inclusive education. In addition to being more affordable, speech-to-text and text-to-speech platforms, as well as the flexibility to adapt prepared information to learners’ physical and learning limitations, would allow for the improvement of learning methods in all areas.

In light of the possibility for inaccurate content attribution to experts, educators and learners alike need to exercise caution when it comes to the impact of deepfake on education. Putting content accuracy detection technologies into practice is essential to preventing deception. Instructors ought to use vigilance in order to confirm that student assignments are unique and that artificial intelligence (AI) was not used to create them.

Above all, educators need to make sure that students’ critical thinking skills are strengthened by AI tools rather than diminished. For this reason, it will be crucial in the future to maintain a balance between technology and human interaction.
