Knowledge, Learning, Community

This report (28 page PDF) focuses on four major ways the authors believe AI will serve education: personalized learning content and experiences; refined assessment and decision-making processes; optimization of teacher roles through augmentation and automation of tasks; and teaching both with and about AI. I'm not seeing this as especially visionary, despite the urgency of messages like "education systems must adapt to prepare young people for tomorrow's technology-driven economies." The meat of the report, I think, can be found in the nine case studies that form the second half of the report; I think they could all have been developed well before the current flurry of developments in AI (and indeed, probably were).
