John Dalton, co-principal of the fee-paying school, told Business Insider that AI-enabled learning will give students more time to master topics. Soon, more countries will likely test this system, so it’s wise to see its potential.

“Students will benefit enormously from AI-powered adaptive learning,” Dalton claimed. They will spend afternoons in a “diverse support curriculum” with the following courses: 

Learning how to debate Starting a business Developing entrepreneurial skills Exploring artificial intelligence Gaining financial literacy Participating in creative activities like painting and cooking

The co-principal said that David Game College has “humanized the AI learning process by creating a holistic and engaging educational experience.”

Students can continue interacting with teachers, and the system does not judge them. “Instead, it allows them to learn at their own pace in a safe environment,” Dalton stated.

“We also strongly believe that this approach will enhance student confidence as they achieve subject mastery, which in turn will improve their mental health,” he added.

However, other educational experts shared the technology’s limitations in education. 

“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.

She admitted there are “promising examples” of AI-powered learning tools, like Google’s Socratic. However, “We are not seeing anything that could replace a quality educator.” 

Karl Knapp, dean of the business school at the University of Indianapolis said AI systems can “hallucinate.” In other words, artificial intelligence programs can fabricate information that students are unlikely to “fact-check every utterance.” 

Moreover, AI systems can’t judge a student’s tone of voice or facial expressions, which Knapp said were “key indicators of student understanding when teaching.”
