Four Interactions Between AI and Education

Broadening Our Perspective on What AI Can Offer Education
What is the nature of the relationship between AI and education?
Nearly five decades ago,
someone asked this same question.

The AIED community is predominantly focused on AI as an applied tool
However…
This was not always the case.

Conclusion
We present AI×Ed as a framework for conceptualizing the different kinds of possible relationships between AI and education
We found that there is a lack of recent research in the bottom half of our quadrant
(AI as an analogy to human intelligence).
To establish a research agenda for the future of AIED we can simultaneously
look backwards (to earlier approaches to AIED) and
look forwards (to new kinds of AI and new challenges in education).
