I teach AI at Tutorials Point.
The irony of teaching a subject that's reshaping education itself isn't lost on me.
What I've observed: AI in education works best when it amplifies teachers, not replaces them. The best applications aren't "AI teacher" — they're "AI teaching assistant."
Adaptive learning paths that identify where a student is struggling and adjust difficulty. Real-time feedback on essays that catches structural issues before a teacher reads it. Intelligent tutoring that provides patient, infinitely available practice. Student performance prediction that flags at-risk students early enough to intervene.
The technology for all of this exists today. An LLM with good RAG over course material can create a personalized tutor in an afternoon.
But what I've learned from teaching is that the human element matters enormously. The moment of encouragement when someone gets stuck. Reading body language to know when to push harder or ease off. The mentorship that shapes how someone thinks, not just what they know.
AI handles the "what." Teachers handle the "why" and the "who cares."
The next billion-dollar EdTech company will nail this balance. All the technology, with all the humanity.
