Emerging and Assistive Technologies and the Future

Question:

Answer: The impact of AI on computers in the schools will be monumentous.  Very young children will be able to operate cimputers without the needs for typing skills or knowledge of programming languages.  They will be able to teach the computer to carry out the activities they want done.  Because AI computers function as intelligent aids to their users rather than as merely programming machines, computers will become more effective teachers, listening to the students, responding according to information stored in memory, and then storing information away for later use.  They will no longer rely on rigidly defined software.  In addition, future generations of computers with artificial intelligence are expected to be able to compile their own instructions to perform virtually any task they are asked to perform.

  1. Technology is crazy. I had never heard of AI involved with computers until now. It does seem like it would be an extremely effective tool in the classroom. I can't imagine computers interacting at such a high level, but I guess it is possible.
