“…Now, more than a century and a half later, the widespread deployment of AI has become a landmark achievement of the 21st century, a turning point that has been likened to the industrial revolution of the 18th century (Thomas 2020). Properly understanding this breakthrough is critical for controlling how AI develops in the remainder of the century, both for maximizing its benefits and minimizing its hazards (Grosz and Stone 2018). Here we present a new analysis of this progress, an analysis which is yielding a new generation of AI systems.…”

What explains the dramatic progress from 20th-century to 21st-century AI, and how can the remaining limitations of current AI be overcome? The widely accepted narrative attributes this progress to massive increases in the quantity of computational and data resources available to support statistical learning in deep artificial neural networks. We show that an additional crucial factor is the development of a new type of computation. Neurocompositional computing adopts two principles that must be simultaneously respected to enable humanlevel cognition: the principles of Compositionality and Continuity. These have seemed irreconcilable until the recent mathematical discovery that compositionality can be realized not only through discrete methods of symbolic computing, but also through novel forms of continuous neural computing. The revolutionary recent progress in AI has resulted from the use of limited forms of neurocompositional computing. New, deeper forms of neurocompositional computing create AI systems that are more robust, accurate, and comprehensible.

“…Research shows how effective individually tailored approaches can be presented with the support of artificial intelligence techniques and intelligent learning environments (Mohammed & Watson, 2019). Although quality education seems to require the active participation of human teachers, artificial intelligence envisages increasing education and quality at all levels, especially by providing personalization (Grosz & Stone, 2018). Pedro et al (2019) highlight a dual-teacher model with artificial intelligence in terms of individualized education: teachers spend a lot of time in routine and other administrative tasks, such as repeating frequently, answering questions about many topics, but in-class artificial intelligence-supported assistants (secondary teachers) will reduce the time spent on routine procedures, which will help teachers focus on student guidance and one-to-one communication.…”

With the increase in studies about artificial intelligence (AI) in the educational field, many scholars in the field believe that the role of teachers, school and leaders in education will change. In this regard, the purpose of this study is to examine what possible scenarios are there with the arrival of AI in education and what kind of implications it can reveal for future of schools. The research was designed as a phenomenological study, a qualitative research method, in which the opinions of participants from different sectors were examined. The results show that schools and teachers will have new products, benefits and also face drawbacks with the arrival of AI in education. The findings point out some suggestions for use of AI and prevention of possible problems. While participants generally seem to have positive perceptions towards AI, there are also certain drawbacks, especially highlighted by teachers and academicians, regarding the future of teaching. Lawyers and jurists tend to focus more on legal grounds for AI in education and future problems, while engineers see AI as a tool to bring quality and benefit for all in the education sector.

“…Today, autonomous delivery robots and self‐driving cars can roam city streets on a daily basis. The number of personal smart devices including watches and cell phones — handheld and AI‐equipped components of a daily uniform seen on all ages and professions — now far outnumber people (Grosz and Stone 2018).…”

A 100-year-long study of artificial intelligence — known as the AI100 — is now working toward its second report to reflect on, and predict, the societal impacts of AI technologies. When the project was launched in 2014, an interdisciplinary group of experts gathered to assess the effects AI has on its users and their communities, as well as the technology itself. The first report titled Artificial Intelligence and Life in 2030 is a reference for those in government and industry, as well as for the general public, on how to interact with AI. It covers eight sectors spanning from transportation and healthcare to entertainment. As we enter the next decade, a second report looms on the horizon. This follow-up report presents an opportunity to reflect on the booming changes to the industry and resultant impacts on society since the first study findings were released. While maintaining a level of continuity, this next report is expected to aim a broader lens on the influences of these technologies worldwide. It will also explore human-centric applications in greater depth, to touch upon the personal connections between individuals and AI technologies.The human element is increasingly important as interactions with artificial intelligence expand through applications like autonomous vehicles, increasingly capable search engines, and electronic personal assistants. Debating ethics, purpose, intention, and deployment of these technologies will remain an ongoing challenge for this study. To reflect these realities, the committee is expected to include scholars from disciplines such as philosophy, anthropology, sociology, and critical studies in addition to AI scientists and engineers.
