How Has Artificial Intelligence Been Used in Education?

REL Northwest developed a resource sheet entitled Artificial Intelligence in Education, which includes a review of research on how AI has been used in education and four considerations for leveraging AI to support education. As the use of artificial intelligence (AI) in education evolves, educators are seeking to understand how they can use it efficiently and ethically. Although this information is relevant to educators across the country, this information was originally requested and used by the Washington Office of Superintendent of Public Instruction.

The review of the research suggests that AI has been used in education in five broad categories:

  • Instruction and tutoring
  • Personalized learning
  • Assessment
  • Predictive and learning analytics
  • Administrative and logistical tasks

Four considerations on leveraging AI to support education emerged from the review of research:

  • Understand and address the ethical concerns associated with AI in education.
  • Be prepared to continuously improve AI applications.
  • Effectively prepare people to work with AI.
  • Use AI as a tool, not as a substitute for humans.
