With its ability to personalize education dynamically, assess data, and provide guidance to In 2024, artificial intelligence dominated discussions on educational innovation, often shifting between optimism and concern. In 2025, the focus will transition from abstract considerations of value to practical discussions about how AI in education, driven by a relentless focus on data, will personalize learning, evaluate outcomes, and provide feedback to reshape how educators teach and how institutions make decisions. The outcome will be improved student results and happier, more satisfied teachers and administrators as the promise of digital education is finally fulfilled. This has been a recurring observation among educators regarding what lays ahead for 2025. AI In Education Will Drive Personalized Learning
Personalized learning has long been the promise of technology-assisted education. In an article from 1970, computer-based education pioneer Patrick Suppes speculated that in the future, every student would have their own personal computerized tutor, the quality of Socrates or Aristotle. The challenge has always been to figure out how to personalize things without spending inordinate amounts of time and money mapping out every possible path a student might take.
With AI, tools finally exist to dynamically analyze student learning data, deploy personalized solutions based on that analysis, and identify what additional support students might need from their teachers without requiring course authors to map everything out first. Rather than experts predetermining possible paths, the data itself can drive the course, with adequately trained, primed, and prompted AIs interacting with students through natural interfaces and providing them with what they need. This allows students to learn, explore, and make authentic mistakes without being constrained by curriculum designer-imposed guardrails.
Diana Helfond, CEO of Parallel Learning , stressed that the transformation to personalized learning is already underway: “Teachers, parents, administrators, school boards, and students themselves are craving more personalized support to match each student’s unique needs both in and out of the classroom.” She added, “It’s going to be fascinating to see what the edtech community brings to the table in 2025 and how schools embrace these tools.”
