Although there are potential risks and concerns, when used correctly, AI has the potential to benefit education in multiple ways.

Accessibility and Ease of Expression

AI-powered assistive tools can promote accessible learning for your style of learning. AI-powered text-to-speech, speech-to-text, image description tools, and task management tools can make course material easier to understand.
Generative AIs for texts, photos, videos, and slides help you with presentations in your classes. With a few prompts, these tools can help you change formats to have different ways to learn and present what you know.

Personalized Learning

By acting as tutors and learning assistants, you can use AI tools to personalize and enhance your learning experiences.
- Example prompt: "I'm struggling with understanding [specific topic]. Can you explain the key concepts and principles in a way that's easy to grasp, perhaps using analogies or examples? Additionally, what are some common misconceptions I should be aware of?"
Intelligent tutoring systems (ITS) and Generative AI tools are capable of adapting to your individual needs by assessing your strengths and weaknesses, monitoring your progress, and providing tailored content and feedback.
- Note: There are risks with completely depending on AI tools for learning without the support of your instructor and your class as these tools may be inaccurate because of AI's limitations, they might violate your privacy if you are not careful about what you put into the AI, and the AI might no appropriately address the requirements of your class.

AI tools can recommend and provide outlines, quizzes, activities, videos, presentations, and more.
- Example prompt: "Can you provide a detailed outline for studying [specific topic]? I need a structured approach that breaks down the key areas, subtopics, and essential concepts to focus on for a comprehensive understanding."
- Example prompt: "I want to test my understanding of [specific topic]. Can you create a quiz with multiple-choice and short-answer questions that cover the fundamental concepts and challenge my grasp of the material?"
- Note: It is important to use these generated resources as a starting point and then develop them further to ensure accuracy as Generative AI is known to make errors.
AI bots can help you with insights, and feedback on your work.
- Example prompt: "I've written an essay on [topic]. Can you provide a critical evaluation of my arguments, structure, and writing style? I would appreciate specific suggestions for improvement and insights on how to enhance the clarity and impact of my essay. [submit text]"
- Note: There are risks of using AI for feedback as it can introduce biases and favor certain points of view.
- Note: It can also introduce privacy risks if you provide the AI with personal data. You might not want to feed AI your personal essay.
