For centuries, education has mostly followed the old traditional structure. However, the fast advancement of AI may provide disruptive technologies to revolutionize how pupils learn, how teachers teach, and how society drives forward learning in the future. Given that education is the foundation which prepares people to pursue advancements in all the other fields, it has the potential to be the most influential field by AI.
Supported by the Beijing Municipal Government, the Advanced Innovation Center for Future Education (AICFE) established a global research program called ¡°Artificial Intelligence (AI) tutor¡±. This program is inviting renowned experts worldwide in all the AI-related and education-related fields. It encourages all types of contributions including theoretical, engineering and applied work. Annual conferences would be held to discuss impactful research topics under the umbrella of the AI Tutor research as well as the challenges and opportunities in AI-driven educational technology.
