Educational Evolution: Intersection of AI with Learning | Ridhi Agarwal | TEDxYouth@AUS

I was going to a meeting and in the middle of things I forgot to charge my phone so I couldn't use Google Maps to get to the meeting so I thought let me fall back on the old days of asking people on the way so I stopped one of the cars, rolled down the window and asked B, to which he responded Google Maps and just drove away. That was an eye-opener for me that made me realize the kind of world we live in today through social media. In segments of all geographies we are so accustomed to using technology that we can barely remember what life was like without it, since we have witnessed the Industrial R

evolution

in the past, followed by the Internet R

evolution

, today we are in the midst of AI revolution.

I'm sure many of you have wondered how you magically get recommendations for movies or TV shows on Netflix that you end up watching or how you can unlock your phone just by using your face or how self-driving cars work. It is not like this? All this works with artificial technology. intelligence, consciously or unconsciously, we all use AI in our daily lives; In fact, at least once a day, 40% of ERS users use the AI-powered voice search feature on their phone and within the first 5 days of its launch, Chad GPT had 1 million users. On its platform, India's AI market is projected to reach $17 billion by 2027 and grow at a compound annual growth rate of 25-35%, so as EI becomes increasingly mainstreamed more in different sectors, be it industry and the energy sector, for more efficient production, healthcare. sector to accelerate diagnosis or the finance and insurance sector for financial predictions it is imperative that our education system also keeps pace with where AI is heading.

Did you know that as AI becomes relevant, it also challenges traditional jobs and the skills we have acquired so far, let me share with you an interesting fact: 65% of today's students will end up in jobs that do not even exist, but Let that sink in, that's because technology is not only evolving, it's evolving at an exponential rate. will disrupt the system, so not even we know what awaits us, probably only The Simpsons can predict it, but in the midst of this there is a crucial question: what do you need to learn to remain relevant in the vuka world that is so dynamic and So volatile in nature, what are the skills one must acquire to stay ahead of the

learning

curve?

To answer this, let's look at the World Economic Forum's predictions. He says that to stay ahead of the

learning

curve it is becoming increasingly important to cultivate traits like curiosity, lifelong learning, creativity. thinking analytical thinking self-efficacy self-awareness and this all depends on our willingness to adapt continually evolve and grow and that is why I am here today to talk about how artificial intelligence can act as a catalyst to promote and encourage these skills, whether it is students, parents , teachers, school leaders, principles, entrepreneurs, all of us need to adopt a lifelong learning mindset and I want to take the next 10 minutes to encourage you all to think about how to use AI as your friend, your companion on this journey of become a lifelong learner and I want to use the power of three, the magic of three, to address this, starting with asking the right questions now, why is it so important to ask the right questions?

Think about it, what if in the past people focused solely on how to improve Bullock Cuts we probably would have ended up with sleeker Bullock Cuts with more comfortable seats, right? But one day someone DED thought differently and asked what would happen if we could fly and that's when it occurred to the right brothers. the invention of an airplane now, this is a powerful reminder to all of us sitting here that curiosity leads to asking the right questions and asking the right questions can lead to Innovations and it is thanks to these Innovations and inventions that Humanity experiences the Evolution.

I remember how When I was a child, even I was very curious and I used to ask a lot of questions to everyone around me, especially my parents, and at that time I would go and my curiosity was not only protected but my parents would kindle it even more, until so much so that one day my mother decided. dressing up as amitab bachan from kga karati so I could do my favorite thing, ask questions, but little by little, as I started growing up, when I was in fourth or fifth grade, I became more and more conscious of expressing my curious mind and felt It may sound too silly if I ask a lot of questions and I could see the impact on my academic performance when many of my doubts were left unanswered.

Now I want to ask all of you how many of you are afraid to ask questions or are too shy to do so. ask questions, can I raise my hand please? But fortunately, yes, some of you are too shy to even raise your hand, but fortunately we have a solution to address this problem. AI is an ally that gives them the opportunity to ask as many questions as possible. a non-threatening environment, let me show you a glimpse of what we have created in our company, so if I have a doubt about a question and I ask this AI tutor, can you help me give the answer?

The AI ​​tutor will not give the answer. directly, this, the AI ​​tutor, will not reveal the answer directly, in fact, it will motivate and encourage you to reach the correct answer, it is not a cheat tool, it does not do your homework and some days, if I am too distracted as a child and I say I want to go to London, it'll actually take me back to study mode, it'll be like yeah, it sounds like a fun plan, but let's get back to the math problem for now, so that's what the AI ​​does in In fact , past studies have shown that due to one-on-one tutoring, students' performance can increase up to two times and one-on-one tutoring at that time was not economical, but now with AI it is very possible and it is for What I mean is, imagine 24 hours a day, 7 days a week for everyone. student in every part of the world that is the impact AI can have and it can help you develop the right attitude towards learning now.

I want to share some fundamental truths of learning. The truth is that we are all fantastic students, we have this innate thirst. To gain knowledge like I don't have to teach my one-year-old how to crawl or how to grasp objects, we all learn naturally through self-directed exploration or play, but if this is the case, why do so many students struggle in the classroom because there is a mismatch between the way learning is taught and the way the brain naturally learns. Traditional classrooms can sometimes be boring or disconnected, stifling natural curiosity and the joy of learning, and each student's pace of learning is unique.

Some students may be ahead in their learning and therefore get bored some students may be behind and therefore find it aversive to study so only a few students find optimal joy in learning in fact Studies have shown that the 65% of students are not engaged in a classroom reflecting on my own journey I remember when I was in grade N9 or 10 I used to find history an extremely boring subject, it was very difficult for me to memorize the facts, events, dates , information, so at home I used to make storyboards, I used to make flashcards so that it could help me visualize these events.

I now realize that my learning style is visual, however, my learning style did not always fit in the classroom and I wish there were some tools or some guidance that would make history as a subject more enjoyable for me, but in a class of 30 students or more we can hardly blame the teachers; In fact, teaching is among the top 10 most stressful jobs in the world, so how is it possible that a teacher can do even more work and personalize the learning journey? for every student, as Sir Ken Robinson has said in many of his previous technology talks, that education does not have to be reformed, it has to be transformed, education is less about standardization and more about personalization, but until now it seemed like a impossible task, but I believe.

The answer to this lies in artificial intelligence. AI presents itself as a powerful ally in the form of generative AI. You can personalize each student's learning experiences, just like you magically see the items you really want to buy in your e-commerce. platform or the type of realities that you see on social media, all of this is customized to your needs and preferences, so whether you are a visual learner like me, an auditory learner, someone who learns by reading or writing or someone who is a Kinesthetic AI. can cater to everyone, there are specific AI tools that can convert text to audio or voice, so for example, someone sitting in Bihar and wants to convert his text to voice lessons in Bojpuri, for example, AI, can do it and do it with the voice of your favorite teacher.

It's not that surprising and for visual learners like me, AI can convert text into images or videos, so I want to ask a question here: how many of you have seen the Avengers movie? One day I was sitting on my couch and thinking what would happen to Thanos. be doing now that he snapped his finger and wiped out half the world, probably relaxing or shopping, and that's when I asked this AI tool to help me visualize this and that's what it did, it actually helped me visualize Thanos for me. in a shopping mall, that's the power of AI, it can give wings to your curious mind and you know that when students' unique needs are met, they are more likely to stay motivated and that promotes student agency and allows the student Learn in your own style.

Their preferred way, that is the impact of air, in fact, the Harvard School of Education has shown that students who used AI and personalized adaptive tools have demonstrated a growth mindset with a significant increase in their self-directed and self-directed learning behaviors. self-efficacy, as I mentioned above. that to stay ahead of the learning curve it is important that we learn, unlearn and relearn in this dynamic world and with AI like your Li, this journey becomes not only possible but also enriching and exciting now that my own experiences They have influenced me a lot. As an Inquisitor student, I realized that despite the hard and relentless work my teachers did, they were unable to meet the needs of every student and, having gone from being a student to now being a passionate educator and loving mother with AD , I found myself wondering what I can do to address these gaps that have been limiting the true potential of our education system and, in my opinion, an entrepreneur can only be successful if he is guided by purpose and in this desire to grow and empower the education system I found my The purpose of my calling is to protect the innate curiosity of our young leaders and empower teachers with the power of AI.

During my interaction with teachers, I saw the invisible challenges faced by teachers working 60 hours a week, where more than half of their time is spent on activities such as readiness assessment feedback. Administrative work leaves less than half the time in direct interaction with students in the classroom, but now, with artificial intelligence tools, some of these activities can be automated, such as readiness assessment feedback, so that some of the time can be reallocated. To directly educate students in a more targeted and efficient way, some AI tools have been shown to reduce 70% of teachers' time grading assignments, so those looking to make the most of their 24 hours, artificial intelligence can do it to help them.

By asking the right questions without fear judgments, AI helps you learn to learn and yearn to grow, so let AI be your life because AI is just an extension rather than a replacement and with this mission I found it as a cad Ali, an ally for teachers, parents, school leaders, principles and of course our students, offering features such as personalized and adaptive assessments, comprehensive student progress reporting and analysis, and chatbot. acada leverages the power of AI to facilitate transformation and prepare people for the dynamic landscape ahead of this change. world, let us preserve our innate curiosity, creativity and equip ourselves to be prepared for the future world.

Let's embrace technology. Let's embrace artificial intelligence and consider AI as its lii, just like Batman and the Joker in this story-reading business.before bed because I truly believe that AI will not take us away. our work but someone who uses it could thank you
