Artificial intelligence is helping teachers manage bigger classrooms ...

I think the big opportunity that stems from AI in the classroom is the ability to personalize instruction to individual students. Andrea Passanetti is co-founder and CEO of the company Kira. It provides the education software platform to Lance Key's classroom, as well as to many of the largest school districts across the United States. With AI, a teacher has an unlimited number of teaching assistants to support that process. And the teacher can provide guidance, guardrails, and guidelines on how to provide that support to students. That looks like students working on a terminal and having an AI tutor that they can query either in written text by typing on a keyboard, or in spoken word by speaking directly to the terminal on the computer. That personalization is something that Key is experiencing every day in his Tennessee classroom. It allows me to have a more personalized relationship with my students in the classroom before there was one of me, and for every question that came up, I was like bouncing around the room just answering questions all the time. But now we've got a tutor that can help them along the way.
