Abstract:

What does the recent AI push mean for our education and training institutions? How do we reinforce the nexus between AI technology and teachers/trainers? At itec, we believe that the future of AI in education and training lies at the intersection of human intelligence and technological intelligence. In this positioning paper, we want to further unravel this idea together with the reader. We call for a nuanced point-of-view in the AI debate, wherein machines empower educational stakeholders and vice versa, ultimately strengthening education together. To do so, it is important to acknowledge limitations and risks that come along the way. We provide insight into how AI in education is being researched at itec, an imec research group at KU Leuven, thereby contributing to the accelerating research domain of Artificial Intelligence in Education (AIED).
