Now, artificial intelligence (AI) represents a new frontier with similarly lofty promises. Experts at a recent webinar explored whether AI can succeed where past ed-tech solutions fell short. Their verdict: While AI will reshape the ed-tech landscape, its direct impact on education will depend on how it’s used. Robert Pondiscio, a senior fellow at think tank American Enterprise Institute (AEI) and moderator of the discussion, opened the webinar with a blunt assessment: “Ed tech has a long-checkered history of overpromising and underdelivering.” AI risks perpetuating the cycle, he warned, unless its role is considered carefully.
