Introduction

Stanford University’s Human-Centered Artificial Intelligence have published a report in February 2022 that enumerates the key research at HAI and Stanford that has the potential to shape the future of education.

The researchers at HAI are developing AI that will help in imparting high-quality personalized learning, create grading system that will augment the teaching and assessment experience and design intentional learning environment that will enable students to thrive. The area of research has been categorized under three broad heads: Personalized and adaptive learning that includes natural language interactions and augmented teaching, Learning sciences and Learning infrastructures.

Each head enumerates the recent advancements taking place and how will that affect the education system. Once the context is set, the report gives a brief on what are the latest researches happening in HAI. The report also emphasizes the critical role that industry plays in scaling the applications of AI research and how corporates can be engaged to advance AI research, education, policy, and practice to improve the human condition.

Relevance of the Report

The report gives a sneak-peek into the latest researches being carried out in Stanford University’s Human-Centered Artificial Intelligence and how this can be used in the future. Though not very detailed, the report gives a broad-level idea about the areas of research and the direction that researchers are taking.

Key Takeaways

• AI can creatively disrupt and augment existing education methods
• Thought leaders, investors, operators, teachers, learners, policy and decision-makers should come and begin discussion regarding ways how AI can be utilized in this sector
• HAI is carrying out some of the most interesting researches in the areas of natural language interactions and learning sciences such as creating an interactive tablet-based learning platform with a multi-step math task and exploring online recurrent neural network models for classifying students in open-ended and interactive environments
