"Educational tools enabled by AI have recently attracted
attention for their potential to improve education quality
and enhance traditional teaching and learning methods.
Although there is no single consensus definition, AI
generally allows computers to perform tasks that are
conventionally thought to require human intelligence.
Congress may consider the benefits and risks of AI in
classrooms, including the impact of AI on issues such as
student data privacy, teacher preparation, and technology
development and procurement.
Current Applications of AI in Classrooms
Today, both startups and established companies seek to
integrate AI into marketable products. In some cases, AI
performs functions independently of teachers, while in
others it augments teaching capabilities. Applications of AIbased
education technology include the following:
Tutoring. AI programs commonly referred to as
Intelligent Tutoring Systems (ITS) or adaptive tutors
engage students in dialogue, answer questions, and
provide feedback.
Personalizing Learning. ITS and adaptive tutors tailor
learning material, pace, sequence, and difficulty to each
student’s needs. AI can also provide support for special
needs students, for instance by teaching autistic children
to identify facial expressions.
Testing. Computer adaptive assessments adjust the
difficulty of successive questions based on the accuracy
of the student’s answers, enabling more precise
identification of a student’s mastery level.
Automating Tasks. AI can perform routine tasks such
as taking attendance, grading assignments, and
generating test questions.
As well, at least one public school district has partnered
with a university to provide a K-12 AI program aimed at
teaching students AI concepts and technologies..."
