AI is poised to reshape education, impacting everything from administrative tasks and assessments to how students navigate research and develop critical thinking skills.
While AI seems like a relatively new development, it’s been around for quite some time, and is changing very quickly within the education space.
“We’re keeping an eye on usage in the U.S., where it’s happening, and how we can leverage that for teaching and learning,” said Kellie Ady, Senior Director of Education Strategy and Government Relations for PowerSchool.
It’s critical to think about how to better support educators who are using AI, including creating AI policies and guidelines in schools and districts.
Connected data system are also important for AI. “AI relies upon data, and if we have data living in different systems, it makes it a challenge for AI to do what it can do and do it well,” Ady said. “If we can remove data silos and make sure AI is leveraging a really powerful set of data, that changes the story of what it can do.”
