"The government recently announced ambitions to expand the use of artificial
intelligence (AI) in New Zealand’s classrooms. But as the technology rapidly
changes, it is not clear how this would work or what it will mean for teachers
and learners.
Science Minister Judith Collins’ vision is for every student to have their own
AI tutor. As Collins explained in a recent interview,
So instead of having to be wealthy enough to employ a tutor to help the
children with the maths or science questions, or something else that the
parent doesn’t know much about maybe, is to enable that child to have their
own [AI] tutor.
But like AI itself, the concept of an AI tutor is still evolving. The idea of
creating a “teaching machine” has been around for 100 years or so, and
“intelligent tutoring systems” have been around since the 1980s with limited
results.
The more recent advances of AI have rekindled the elusive promises of these
systems. But while the technology has evolved, the basic concept of a machine
taking over some of the responsibilities of the teacher has remained the same."
