2016 is about to pass. In this year, AI technology has made great breakthroughs and has been used in many fields, resulting in many emerging industries such as smart medical and smart home.

Previously, Softbank put its own intelligent robot Pepper in Shoshi High School in Waseda, Fukushima Prefecture, Japan, to go to school with students to help students learn English and computer knowledge. In many test sites in China, face recognition technology has been used for candidates. Authentication... In the education industry, we are increasingly seeing the application of AI technology. Besides, what are the possibilities of AI in the education industry?

Said that the form of AI+ education is diverse

According to a survey of more than 2,000 job automation possibilities initiated by Forbes and a number of agencies, the possibility of teachers being replaced by machines is the lowest. Although teachers as the main body of education are difficult to replace, this does not mean that AI has lost opportunities in the industry, such as:

Teaching evaluation: In the teaching process, the teacher's education method is an important part. Under normal circumstances, the evaluation of the teaching methods is based on the human assessment and class performance. However, both of them are highly susceptible to interference from other factors, such as the difficulty of exams, artificial surface camouflage, and so on.

In order to conduct a more fair assessment, an emotional AI system can help. Through hidden cameras and recordings installed in the classroom, the system can use computer vision, speech recognition and emotion recognition technology to analyze the expressions and voices of students and teachers in real time, and get relevant results, such as the annoyance reflected in the sound. , or the pain hidden in the expression and so on. Then, the class's historical achievements are analyzed by big data, and the two are combined to make a comprehensive and rational evaluation of the teacher's education method and propose corresponding improvement suggestions.

Teaching Aid: At the moment, Pepper is not the first robot to enter the classroom. Here, the most suitable role for the robot is not the teacher, but the teaching assistant.

Compared to humans, the AI ​​system (robot), which is a part of the Internet of Things, has a more comprehensive and systematic knowledge base. In the teaching process, we can't expect teachers to take care of every student, especially those who are not good at communicating with teachers. At this time, the AI ​​system (robot) should come in handy. After using the speech recognition and natural language processing to digest the students' problems, with the cloud service and big data behind, the AI ​​system (robot) can find the answers to the questions in a short time, one-on-one with the students. Counseling and assisting teachers in teaching tasks.

Vocational Training: In March, the battle between AlphaGo and Li Shishi shocked the world. Among them, we also saw an opportunity for artificial intelligence in the education industry.

At present, it can be said that most schools are pursuing "quality education", in order to enable students to develop in all aspects, including ball sports, chess sports and other skills. Take AlphaGo, because it has been trained in a lot of data, its chess game has reached the upper reaches of the world. Although it is occasionally overwhelmed by the "Hands of God", it is more than enough for vocational training in the education industry. . By analogy, as long as the AI ​​system is professionally trained, with the voice commentary, it can assume the position of a professional trainer, cultivate students' various skills, and promote the development of all aspects of students' quality.

In addition to the above, AI has more opportunities in the education industry, such as using computer vision and somatosensory technology to supervise the students in the examination room, and to correct the test papers based on the natural language processing standards.

See, the chemical effects of AI+ education

For the combination of AI and the education industry, many people in the industry have expressed their optimism. In this regard, Peter Demandis, one of the leaders of the global innovation community and the founder of Singularity University, said that the best education in the world after decades may not come from schools, but from artificial intelligence, it can be based on students. Personal preferences and characteristics provide corresponding private education, which will be a major step forward in human society.

The concept put forward by Dimantis can refer to the so-called “companion robots” on the market. While accompanying them, these small intelligent robots are also learning and entertaining with children, participating in preschool education for children. I have even participated in the lower grade education of elementary school. Although the current robots are generally popular, in the future, relying on deep learning and data analysis, robots will be able to create a targeted learning system based on the child's personality and other data to teach students in accordance with their aptitude.

In addition, in addition to improving students' performance and using artificial intelligence technology to add code, the overall quality of students may also be improved. As we all know, the label of Chinese education is “test-oriented education”, and “quality education” has only begun to be implemented in recent years. Under the exam-oriented education, the results on the volume are the most concerned by all students, which leads to frequent cheating, test-taking and other phenomena. Even if it is the implementation of quality education, cheating is also repeated, especially in the candidates. The college entrance examination for life.

In the future of AI technology, it can dig deep into the abilities of students. If you don’t ask for anything, you just want to find out where your abilities are. Just as the ancients said, “there is a specialization in the industry,” the knowledge is not much, of course, except Other capabilities beyond this also require a balanced development to avoid serious "squatting". On this basis, supplemented by a quality education system, when performance is no longer the only way to change the path of life, cheating and other phenomena will be alleviated. Moreover, in addition to character quality, AI technology will also play a significant role in the cultivation of skills and quality.

Conclusion

Currently, although some AI systems (robots) have shown great intelligence, it is only a minority. AI wants to change the education industry and can't do it all at once. With the rise of grades and the increasing intake of knowledge by students, AI systems (robots) need to be more professional and humane.

In terms of current AI technology, the scope of its effects in education is only a small part, mainly for preschool education and the lower grades of primary schools. In higher grades, its effectiveness is limited to questions and answers. Wait for a place that doesn't require much intelligence. Therefore, before the education industry launches reforms, AI needs to be more tempered.
