AI can fill this gap by removing teachers from repetitive or routine learning, like having kids copy out of a textbook while teachers write terms on a whiteboard, and instead have teachers focus on what makes them impactful in students' lives.
If students engage with materials largely through AI-backed methods, one teacher can oversee multiple classrooms at once because students won't need a teacher always standing in front of them, King said."Teachers won't need to be distributors of knowledge, because AI can automate that," he added.
AI can also help teachers leverage existing knowledge and content, so they can repurpose it and dramatically reduce their workload, Guo said.
