With the advent of the Fourth Industrial Revolution, Artificial Intelligence (AI) has become indispensable to humans. AI is invading every corner of life, from common self-driving vehicles to systems that check plagiarism rates when students do assignments.

Is education different? AI already occupies many areas in the private education market. There are many private education products using AI, and they are sensational.

There are many reviews that say AI better identifies and manages individual needs than being taught by human teachers at academies. In addition, labor costs are not high and the cost burden is low because stored data is continuously used and repeated.

So what about public education? Compared to private education, public education changes relatively slowly. This is because public education must go through a procedural process and can be implemented only with positive evaluation from the parties.

Recently, I have seen that a middle school conducted education using AI in cooperation with a private AI education company. Is AI required for public education?

The popularity of AI-based education in the private education market means that it is educational and economical. Therefore, if this is used for public education, it will help to bridge the education gap and curb private education.
