In addition to public services, taxation and the environment, the world of education will also be disrupted by the arrival of artificial intelligence (AI) called Aristotle. For better and for worse ?
The objective is to “put people back at the heart of our public services”, defended Gabriel Attal, whose franceinfo echoes. Traveling to Sceaux (Hauts-de-Seine), the Prime Minister unveiled this Tuesday, April 23, a whole range of artificial intelligence tools. If AI Albert should lend a hand to the tax administration, as reported BFMTV, National Education will not be left behind. The head of government thus announced that an artificial intelligence called Aristotle, in reference to the famous Greek philosopher, will be put in place from the start of the school year in September 2024.
So, what to expect? Would Aristotle be THE solution found by the executive to compensate for the glaring lack of teachers in the schools of the Republic? According to Pisa report published by the OECD in December 2023, two thirds of students in the establishments studied to establish this report were affected, in 2022, by the shortage of teachers. However, teachers, students and parents should not have to worry too much about the arrival of AI in the world of education next September.
Aristotle artificial intelligence will mainly help undergraduate students revise for exams. A bonus therefore, which will not be replaced by the presence of teachers. Concretely, Aristotle will have the ability to generate quizzes and assessments based on course materials, reports BFMTV. And this, in order to “improve [le] success rate [des élèves] in license”, underlined Gabriel Attal during his speech, relays franceinfo. Note that artificial intelligence will also aim to make more than 3,000 hours of lessons more accessible to students with disabilities, this one allowing in particular to generate subtitles from the sound of videos. However, if this touch of AI, however small, is successful, in the future, it is very likely that artificial intelligence will be. to what extent? More in the next episode!
