AI Teachers & Bots: Schools Revolutionizing Traditional Learning with AI
Hyderabad: Riding the AI wave, schools across the city are rapidly incorporating AI into their teaching and learning processes, completely embracing this cutting-edge technology. From AI teachers to personalised bots, these institutions are pushing boundaries of modern education. At Nextgen School in KPHB, a saree-clad AI teacher has become a student's favourite teacher and a best friend.This robotic instructor moves, interacts, and answers students' questions, making classes engaging.Transforming classroomsAccording to the school management, this AI teacher has resulted in zero absentees, covering subjects from nursery to Class 10. Currently fluent in English, Hindi, and French, plans are in place to expand its linguistic capabilities to over 20 languages, including Telugu. "We have seen an increase in student curiosity. The AI teacher has become the 'closest pal'. This generative AI robot offers knowledge beyond traditional automated teaching aids," said Surekha K, principal of Nextgen School."It serves as an assistant in classrooms, providing support to teachers by answering students' questions, offering explanations, and even quizzing students. With its multilingual capabilities, it aids in language learning, offering practice in conversation, pronunciation, and listening," added Raghu Kankanala, founder of the school. Interactive learningWhile at Hyderabad Public School, teachers are leveraging AI to create interactive videos and pictures to enhance teaching methods. For instance, these AI-generated videos illustrate the entire respiration process, from inhalation to exhalation, detailing each step. Students can click on specific sections to access additional videos."Currently, science and math teachers are the primary users, but we are gradually integrating AI into other subjects as well," said Narsimha Reddy, principal of Hyderabad Public School, Ramanthapur branch. "For instance, we used AI to create an image of Springs in Hyderabad, resulting in a flowery garden in front of Charminar. We then asked our students to write creatively about it, whether in poetry or essay form. Similarly, we are incorporating AI across all subjects."Geetanjali School has introduced a personalised bot for its students, equipped with the curriculum and additional learning resources.Preparing for the future "This can be used by both teachers and students. After every class, it updates itself with the topic that was taught. Students can refer to it anytime, making it especially helpful for those who struggle academically. They can use this material at home for self-learning," said Maya Sukumaran, principal of Geetanjali School.These schools are also conducting regular workshops and training sessions for educators on integrating AI into classrooms. "We are also launching a vocational AI course after school hours. We believe AI is a crucial 21st-century skill," said Vinjamur Jayashree, principal of Sri Aurobindo School.

This high school is replacing teachers with ChatGPT and AI tools to personalize learning for some students
This story is available exclusively to Business Insider subscribers. Become an Insider and start reading now. Have an account? Log in. John Dalton, coprincipal of the fee-paying school, told Business Insider: "Students will benefit enormously from AI-powered adaptive learning, which allows every student to learn at their own pace rather than having to keep pace with a class, which often progresses too quickly for some students and too slowly for others." The students will also be supported by three full-time learning coaches, and will receive personalized learning paths. Dalton said AI-enabled learning will allow students to spend more time on a topic to master it, while also letting those who are ready to move on progress more quickly. It might also be helpful for students to ask the AI-powered learning assistant questions that they might not feel comfortable asking a teacher during class. "We don't just want to teach core subjects as efficiently and effectively as possible, but to use the extra time this creates during the rest of the day to focus on areas such as self-awareness, critical thinking, active citizenship, digital literacy, artistic expression, public speaking, and entrepreneurship," he said. Some educators hope AI can help to solve problems such as overworked teachers, ballooning class sizes, and a lack of one-on-one engagement with students. Others think it may have downsides. "While AI can be a valuable supplement to live teachers, it cannot replace them entirely," Hadida Grabow, a director at the educational consultancy Higher Learning Group, told BI. While there are some "promising examples" of tools such as Google's Socratic, an AI-powered learning app for students that offers explanations and resources, or the Khan Academy's AI teaching assistant, Grabow said: "We are not seeing anything that could replace a quality educator." "Regrettably, the technology just isn't there yet -- we've seen that with the high-profile failure of the Los Angeles Unified School District's AI chatbot," she said. The district introduced an AI chatbot called Ed in some schools last March to help with tracking assignments, grades, and student records. But about three months later, the chatbot was shelved after the company that created it collapsed. Karl Knapp, dean of the business school at the University of Indianapolis, said AI systems can "hallucinate," or make some things up, with students unlikely to "fact-check every utterance by the AI system." Neither could AI systems judge tone of voice or facial expressions, which he said were "key indicators of student understanding when teaching." Dalton said that students participating in the pilot will spend their afternoons engaging in a "diverse support curriculum that includes learning how to debate, start a business, develop entrepreneurial skills, explore AI and financial literacy, and participate in creative activities such as cooking and painting." He added that the college has "humanized the AI learning process by creating a holistic and engaging educational experience." Students can still interact with teachers if they want to. "The system does not judge students. Instead, it allows them to learn at their own pace in a safe environment," Dalton said. "We also strongly believe that this approach will enhance student confidence as they achieve subject mastery, which in turn will improve their mental health."
