Like several countries in the world, France will experiment with artificial intelligence (AI) in education. Gabriel Attal, the minister responsible for this issue, announced that an AI tool will be launched by September 2024. It should be of help to French high school students in learning French and mathematics.
France puts AI at the service of the education of high school students
A somewhat pioneering initiative, exploiting the potential of artificial intelligence (AI) in the education sector, should see the light of day in France in the coming months. These include an AI tool intended to transform the learning experience of high school students.
The tool, unveiled by the French Minister of Education, Gabriel Attal, is designed to help high school students learn two particular disciplines. These are French and mathematics.
Developed by the technology company EvidenceB, the tool uses what are called Adaptive Interactive Modules (AIM). Concretely, it is a technology designed to offer an individualized and dynamic learning experience. This is done using adaptive algorithms based on artificial intelligence.
Scheduled to be implemented from September 2024, the tool represents a significant step forward towards the democratization of AI in education. Gabriel Attal stressed that once launched, every second year student entering high school should access this cutting-edge software.
How it works ?
This is a question that we can logically ask ourselves. According to the details provided by the stakeholders on this project, students are initially invited to take a level test. An assessment supposed to determine their skills in French and mathematics.
Subsequently, the algorithm integrated into the AI tool draws up a unique learning path, based on the student’s individual performance. A way to guarantee a personalized trajectory that differs for each learner.
The software is presented as being particularly effective. Not only to help students complete remedial work. But also to facilitate them in carrying out advanced work in the subjects concerned. According to Gabriel Attal, France is on the verge of becoming a global pioneer in extending AI-based educational tools to an entire age group. For good reason, the AI tool integrates several traditional educational tools. These include video tutorials and a workshop mode for classroom use by teachers. It remains to be seen how the project is operationalized to know if the fruits will keep the promise of the flowers. What is certain is that the influence of AI is growing.
