Fear & Compliance Issues Are Crushing AI Enthusiasm in Schools!

Are we letting fear and compliance crush AI enthusiasm in our classrooms?  Watch this video to see what’s really happening. AI has the power to transform education, but outdated fears are holding us back, leaving our students at a disadvantage.

No to Low-Risk AI (NLRAI) offers a solution—safe, compliant tools that empower students without compromising privacy or ethics.

Let’s stop crushing innovation and start preparing our kids for a future powered by AI. 

SO, WHAT DOES IT ALL MEAN?

While numerous frameworks, guidelines, and risk evaluation tools are available for AI in education,
what's notably absent is practical advice on how to implement AI effectively in the classroom.

1. Enhancing Student Learning

NLRAI tools have the potential to greatly enhance student’ understanding of AI.

Programs like Google's Teachable Machine and QuickDraw, Canva or Adobe Express, Text to Image offer students hands-on experience with AI,
allowing them to understand how AI functions and how it can be used to enhance their learning.

By creating their own AI-driven projects, such as Text to Image, AI single purpose assistants and creating machine learning models,
students become AI creators, gaining valuable insights into the strengths and limitations of AI technologies.
Giving them a basis for making ethical and informed choices about AI use.

NLRAI has the potential to greatly enhance student learning by providing personalized, adaptive learning experiences that cater to individual student needs.
These tools can provide immediate targeted feedback, assess student performance in real time and adjust the level of difficulty,
accordingly, ensuring that all students are challenged appropriately and can progress at their own pace.

This personalized approach fosters deeper learning and helps students build essential skills in critical thinking, problem-solving, creativity and digital literacy.

2. Streamlining Administrative Tasks – SAVES TIME

AI can help reduce the administrative burden on teachers by automating repetitive tasks such as grading, lesson planning, and managing schedules.

This allows teachers to dedicate more time to direct instruction and student engagement, improving the overall efficiency of the classroom.
By leveraging AI for administrative tasks, teachers can focus on fostering meaningful interactions with their students
and providing personalized support where it is most needed.

For example, AI-powered platforms for lesson planning, like the VT AI Programmer, can help educators, it is a NLRAI.
create tailored lessons that meet the unique needs of their students,
while AI-based grading systems can provide immediate feedback to students, helping them understand their strengths and areas for improvement.

3. Supporting Inclusive Education

NLRAI can also play a crucial role in supporting inclusive education by providing tools that are accessible to students with diverse learning needs.

For example, text-to-speech and speech-to-text technologies can assist students with disabilities, while adaptive learning platforms can adjust content to meet the specific needs, including deaf and blind students, students with Dyslexia, ADHD and Autism, multilingual learners or students with behavioural challenges.

These NLRAI tools help create a more equitable learning environment where all students can participate and have access to the resources they need to succeed.

Think, immediate feedback, overcoming input challenges, improved attention, able to achieve superior results and able to complete activities.
AI can also help teachers identify students who may be struggling and provide targeted interventions to help them catch up with their peers.
