The increase in remote learning brought about by the COVID-19 pandemic created new demand for tutoring options. As rapid advances in artificial intelligence (AI) continue, AI-based tutoring systems promise a way to overcome the availability, cost, and location obstacles students may face with obtaining human tutoring.
Once this technology reaches the point of cost-effective deployment, it could facilitate affordable, on-demand tutoring opportunities for millions of low-income students, students of color, and other underserved students.
