An AI-based Learning Companion Promoting Lifelong Learning Opportunities for All
It addresses the potential of AI to democratize education and personalize curricula, engaging stakeholders like policymakers and educators, but is incremental as it builds on existing discussions and project work.
The report synthesizes how AI is changing learning and identifies key technological features for AI in education, while also presenting advances from the X5GON project, a European initiative to build a personalized learning platform for Open Educational Resources.
Artifical Intelligence (AI) in Education has great potential for building more personalised curricula, as well as democratising education worldwide and creating a Renaissance of new ways of teaching and learning. We believe this is a crucial moment for setting the foundations of AI in education in the beginning of this Fourth Industrial Revolution. This report aims to synthesize how AI might change (and is already changing) how we learn, as well as what technological features are crucial for these AI systems in education, with the end goal of starting this pressing dialogue of how the future of AI in education should unfold, engaging policy makers, engineers, researchers and obviously, teachers and learners. This report also presents the advances within the X5GON project, a European H2020 project aimed at building and deploying a cross-modal, cross-lingual, cross-cultural, cross-domain and cross-site personalised learning platform for Open Educational Resources (OER).
