Education providers are presently involved in the process of “cooperating” human intellect and numerous available digital technology tools. Strategic direction in the processes’ outcomes suggests that LLM and AI will become a “transformative force” for fundamental reforms in the national education policies, according to a recent study. The AIs are “reshaping” the teacher’s work: instead of being a transformer of knowledge the teacher is converging student’s inherent ability with AIs intelligence and efficiency.
Accelerating digital knowledge
Modern process of digital transition requires substantial altering and transformations in the existing educational policies. Digital literacy is becoming a vital part of educational process and shall start in early stages to make a person “adaptable” to more sophisticated digital facilities later on. Presently, most states are using 10-12-year upbringing and education systems, generally coping the US system of K-12 education (refereeing to about 12 years of basic system to acquiring knowledge), which has been recognized throughout the world. So, the education includes kindergarten (typically, ages 5-6) and other forms through 12th grade (ages 17-18). In the United States educational system it represents the full spectrum of primary and secondary education, encompassing all the years of formal schooling before students enter post-secondary education. Thus, it lays the foundation for students’ academic, scientific –as well as social and emotional- knowledge covering such subjects as languages, arts, mathematics, natural and social science, etc.
The education systems varied in the world; however, the primary goals remain constant: to provide students with a “well-rounded” education that prepares them for higher education or the workforce. For example, entering elementary/basic and secondary schools require sufficient preparation already in the kindergarten through; besides, a future student has to get some basic digital knowledge when he/she would choose to attend college or university.
E.g. as a modeling system, the K-12 in the United States could be both public and private. Generally, the K-12 education combines education process as being individual (On one side) and “social” (on the other): as to the former, it identifies seven goals of education: – providing basic skills, – be a critical thinker, – be able to troubleshoot or strategize, – be a moral person, – be a good citizen, having a wide range of interests, and – be happy. From a societal perspective, there are the educational functions include: – transmission of culture, – social integration, – career selection, – techniques of learning skills, – socialization, – rational thinking, – adjustment in society, and – patriotism.

Visible learning
With AI, learning process has become more dynamic, adaptive and personalized: through the intelligent tutoring systems (ITS), the teacher can analyse student performance based on individual learning trajectories. Thus a program called “visible learning” makes it easier for teachers to provide in-depth review of student achievement.

There are already digital systems that can identify where and why students are having difficulties; it helps education providers to intervene: e.g. Carnegie Learning and Squirrel AI program uses algorithms to identify reading and math gaps and subsequently design targeted, specially crafted activities to remediate the gaps.

Numerous visual AI tools already allow learners to generate new knowledge with minimal efforts and fostering new forms of creativity: in fact, AI models are developing so fast that it’s difficult to keep up with all the changes. It seems that scientists have just “scratched the surface of what AI can and will do”: in the years to come new digital technologies could fundamentally reshape the ways of living, learning and educating.
Building digital literacy
Among the most critical requirements for AI-enriched learning is AI literacy: both for educators and for learners; researchers from the US and UAE are analysing the ways the process goes through teaching basic digital skills and AI’s operational concepts (with some imitations and properties). They underline that “digital literacy has become a core competency in the last two decades; AI literacy has also become part of the new educational landscape”. *)
This is a vital conclusion pupils through more than a decade of their study period have to acquire both basic and special digital knowledge: they will need it regardless of the profession they are choosing.

The researchers are suggesting “another profound shift brought by AI” in – as they called it – “the redefinition of educational outcomes”: hence, rather than measuring learning validity, the AIs have “potential to cultivate higher- order capacities, such as creativity, critical thinking and collaboration, as the critical skills for the 21st century”.
The authors also noted in their article using some nice and correct words: “We are not simply training the workers of today – we are nurturing the citizens, artists, scientists and leaders of tomorrow. And in doing so, we are called to ask not just what AI can do for education but what education can do for humanity”.
