Indian edtech firms are embracing large language models to provide hyper-personalised learning experiences to students. The rise of ChatGPT has forced stakeholders to either adapt to its capabilities or risk being left behind. Some edtech platforms, such as Khan Academy, have successfully harnessed the power of generative AI to offer tailored learning experiences. The use cases of generative AI in education are vast, including personalised learning and course design, teaching assistance, assessing learning patterns, tutoring powered by AI, collaborative learning platforms, restoring old learning material, and engaging content creation.
For instance, Khan Academy’s AI tutor, Khanmigo, assists teachers and students by providing answers and guiding learners to find answers themselves. Generative AI can also facilitate the creation of new teaching materials, identify patterns of learning difficulties, and provide virtual tutoring environments. The potential of generative AI in education is immense, and it will be exciting to see how edtech firms continue to innovate and adapt to its capabilities.
