The Deep View: AI takes center stage in classrooms

AI takes center stage in classrooms
AI is going back to school.
Campus, a college education startup backed by OpenAI’s Sam Altman, hired Jerome Pesenti as its head of technology, the company announced on Friday. Pesenti is the former AI vice president of Meta and the founder of a startup called Sizzle AI, which will be acquired as part of the deal for an undisclosed sum. 
Sizzle is an educational platform that offers AI-powered tutoring in various subjects, with a particular focus on STEM. The acquisition will integrate Sizzle’s technology into the content that Campus already offers to its user base of 1.7 million students, advancing the company’s vision to provide personalized education. 
The deal marks yet another sizable move to bring AI closer to academia – a world which OpenAI seemingly wants to be a part of. 
In July, Instructure, which operates Canvas, struck a deal with OpenAI to integrate its models and workflows into its platform, used by 8,000 schools worldwide. The deal enables teachers to create custom chatbots to support instruction. OpenAI also introduced Study Mode in July, which helps students work through problems step by step, rather than just giving them answers. 
While the prospect of personalized education and free tutoring makes AI a draw for the classroom, there are downsides to integrating models into education. For one, these models still face issues with accuracy and privacy, which could present problems in educational contexts. 
Educators also run the risk of AI being used for cheating: A report by the Center for Democracy and Technology published last week found that 71% of teachers worry about AI being used for cheating.
