He is convinced AI will replace teachers in 10 years.
Key reasons behind Bill Gates’ perspective on AI in education include:
- Personalized Learning at Scale: AI can adapt to a student’s pace, providing customized lessons that feel like tutoring, which Gates believes will be better or equal to human tutoring within ten years.
- Infinite Patience and Availability: Unlike humans, AI tutors never get frustrated or tired, allowing them to provide, for instance, essay feedback or math help at any time, notes Fortune.
- Addressing Educational Gaps: AI tools like Khanmigo are designed to help students with specific, individualized feedback on their writing or math problems, addressing gaps in reading and writing.
- Freeing Up Teachers: While Gates sees AI replacing some aspects of teaching, he also sees it as a tool that can take over, for example, grading and routine tasks, enabling teachers to focus more on mentoring and student emotional engagement.
- Rapid Advancement: Gates has pointed out the rapid improvement in AI technology, suggesting that AI’s ability to simulate high-quality teaching will soon become a common, and for many, an essential part of the educational experience.
