AI revolutionizing education and literacy

source
I have been centering on the future of blockchain tech, cryptocurrency, web3 and mostly AI. It is really worth future concerns, something that many are taking for granted. A lot has been said about this tech, some rumors while some are currently factual. Nevertheless, I wouldn't say you should doubt or discard much of those rumors as they are manifesting true daily. We have seen the prevalence of Internet of Things (IoT) yet this was just a surface of what tech has to offer. We are looking at technological incorporation that will astound and revolutionize us within a decade or even less. Speaking of revolutionizing, I will be emphasizing on how AI will help upgrade humans and speeden educational sector.

Before even delving into AI incorporation into literacy, I will first look at how this tech will disrupt the education sector. We have seen how technology has helped raise a lot of jack of many trades and this is worth a kudos. Staying in YouTube I must say will help you achieve and explore diverse skills, it's something a lot of skill seekers fail to capitalize. This in the process is shrinking the educational sector. You know most tutorials are accessed for free, we know how much it would convert to should it have been from the institutional bodies. This seems just to be the beginning, AI will have the capability to do far more. In short, this has raised the needed question of 'will AI combat out or over shrink the educational sector?'.

When all the data of education from our forebears can be fed into a system and dispersed globally, how will schooling fit in? We are living in a world of 'freestyle learning' or learning at comfort as the case maybe. We are mostly going virtual and admiring online learning, think of this when powerful AI bots that will be interacting through our smart phones become accustomed to us. It's a drift that will displace many unless you have blending capabilities. The challenge is always the many who stay in ignorance and say it cannot be. Did you believe AI could generates pages of books, images, recognize sounds and videos. What more until we realize something is really popping in the tech sector?

The second part I want to look at is the literacy level that will be increased through artificial intelligence adoption. I have had such occasions where I met someone who could neither read nor write. I talked to him about the importance of trying to fit in and learn especially in a fast growing global world. I saw the interest when I tried working this out for him yet overtime, there were signs of relenting and a later withdrawal. What I came to realize was that he felt he was too old to be thought by someone smaller than him. Secondly he felt an embarrassment when he couldn't meet up with gramas. We are leaving in a world where convenience is mostly prioritized. Without doubt, we spend much of our time with our mobile phones than friends and families.

Looking at the high rate of unlearned individuals that make up the African continent, I felt AI is a necessary solution. One country I personally will see will stand to benefit most is Nigeria due to high individual involvement in tech activities. If mobile phones could teach us grammar daily thanks to AI incorporation, I think we would grow to be even better. This is one of the revolutionary visions that will help boost the global economy. Why a lot shrink out from online markets and activities is mostly the lack of reading and writing. How will they meet up with their daily chaos and still focus on education? This I must say was one of the reasons the person I explained in the earlier paragraph gave up. Rushing late from work to meet up classes became boring to him.

Maybe we would have to first consider the factors that are behind illiteracy. Here we can talk of poverty, social/ cultural factors, lack and limited educational resources, learning disabilities and the rest of the likes. How does AI fit in here? I know you may think it costs a lot to buy smartphones yet you also need to consider this; how much will it cost to pass through the school system when buckling up both resources and time. What this means is, out of 100% who are deprived of education due to poverty, if there should be eagerness to learn, 30% would be able to afford this cost. This alone is a huge impact on African soil. We all know the level of exposure it will also come with in the process. We are looking at ideas to even earn a living.

A very important sector to also consider is how AI can blend the disabled into the global economy. Moving to and fro to get learning will really be curbed which has limited handicaps. We are looking at this tech from the surface. There is a need to realized there is more. Adding to that, if we wish to benefit, we will also have to feed data to platforms where many hands can freely access. If centralized bodies will be the ones ordering AI LLM's around, little to no effect will be realize. This in the end points to a need for web3's decentralized data adoption.

To conclude, let me add, education pattern will experience a shift way more disrupting than free online platforms like youtube (at least for NOW if I may say). AI will change learning style and at the same time make it even more easier and effective. As we continue to unravel AI's mysteries and future, we need to not just watch but embrace the ethical practices that center it.
