Duullingo CEO Luis von Aham has said that AI can become primary teachers and schools can turn into supervised places for children in future. In a recent conversation on no men podcast hosted by Venture Capitalist Sarah Guo, von Ahan said that AI tutors would eventually be more effective and scalable than human teachers, objectives indicate changes in schools.

He clarified that he does not see the closure of schools or losing teachers completely. Instead, the attention of schools can gradually be overcome by formal teaching and may be more towards providing a safe and structured environment where students are taken care of, while the learning part is through advanced AI system.

In traditional classes with large groups of students, providing personal teaching is a major challenge. Duullingo CEO Luis von Ahan believes that AI can bridge this difference by adopting a lesson for the individual speed and learning needs of each student. Unlike human teachers, who can struggle to track the progress of every child in classes of 30 or more, AI systems can immediately identify the weaknesses and adjust the material in real time, offer the level of accuracy that are difficult to achieve manually.

He admitted that the infection would slow down. The education system opposes change, often due to rules, cultural expectations and old infrastructure. However, he feels that the role of AI in classes is only expanding, especially in countries where high quality education is required a pressure.

Interestingly, signs of this change are already visible in countries like South Korea. The country has introduced AI-operated digital textbooks in about 30 percent of schools from March this year. The update reported by Nikkei Asia shows a major change of how the lessons are distributed. During a recent APEC Education Summit conducted by South Korea, authorities demonstrated the use of these devices, including a live class in Jeju, where students solved maths problems on the tablet, while their answers appeared on a shared screen.

The idea is to make learning more interactive and data-operated. However, there are obstacles – uneven access to digital devices in various fields and the need to train teachers to work with AI is one of the concerns that need to be addressed. At the same time, the debate over the AI ​​in education is not limited to school classes. LinkedIn co-founder Reid Hoffman recently talked about how universities also need to be developed as AI becomes an indispensable part of future learning.
