Transforming Education through Personalized Learning

The role of AI in the present-day world cannot be overestimated. It is for a reason that after ‘NFT’ in 2021 and ‘permacrisis’ in 2022, ‘AI’ has become the word of the year in 2023, according to the Collins Dictionary. So, if artificial intelligence defined as “modelling of human mental functions by computer programs” has become an integral part of all spheres, why not consider the option of having an AI tutor instead of a human teacher?

What do you imagine when you think about an AI tutoring system? Is it a robot with a pointer? Is it special software that gives lectures in a strict voice and checks assignments? Or would you like to have a friendly assistant who can give huge support and even do tasks instead of you? It is high time to think about the benefits of intelligent AI systems in education as they are definitely going to get into schooling of present-day and future generations.

Artificial Intelligence Tutor or Assistant of a Cheater?

For sure, one of the greatest temptations for a modern student is to ask AI to help with homework. Whatever subject or discipline seems to be challenging, a chatbot can provide an answer even to the most sophisticated question and save the nerves and time of a learner.

What do you actually do if you need AI assistance with your school task?

  1. Type a precise question into the search box.
  2. Click on the button ‘search’ and wait.
  3. In a few seconds, see the ready-made answer.
  4. Ask for more details or explanations, if needed.
  5. Make sure the answer is not submitted as it is. What you get from AI rools is a sample or template for your own writing.
  6. Do your writing and with the help of PlagiarismSearch.com, you check whether the answer appears as original and only then you can share it with your peers or instructors.

Students have never been happier as they can now get solutions to the most complicated problems in no time. More than that, if one lacks understanding of some rule or explanation from a textbook, it is convenient and easy to ask AI for help and gain an insight into what used to be so confusing. Still, a lot of students get into a trap and perceive AI tools as their magic wand to freedom and entertainment. We would like to warn everyone again and again: taking the answer from a chatbot and using it as your own is one of the brightest examples of plagiarism!
