Artificial intelligence (人工智能), or AI for short, has become an important part of our daily life.     1     Let’s see how!

The role of teachers

What will the role of teachers be in this robotic classroom of the future?     2     Actually human teachers will always be needed to manage the classroom environment and to encourage students. A large part of education for children is teaching them social-emotional skills. While AI programs have proven they can teach students to read and solve math problems, teaching social-emotional skills is more complex (复杂的).     3    

Classrooms

    4     Grading, for example, can be done quickly and easily by using AI. In the future, some believe AI will even be able to tell if students are having problems with a certain subject based on their facial (面部的) expressions alone. AI can also provide a chance of receiving an education for those who have hearing problems or are unable to speak the local language.

AI in education is extending (延伸) outside the classroom, too. The technology is also being used to help students prepare for tests, such as college entrance exams. It can also help them with their homework.

Has your school used AI? Do you think AI is the future of education?

City walking is not just a way to travel but can be part of our daily lives. “It’s a lifestyle that everyone can try,” Xiao said. “Just start to keep an eye on everything around you whenever you walk, from your school or office to your home.
