Summary:
- AI chatbots could be used to improve children’s reading and writing skills within the next 18 months, according to Microsoft co-founder Bill Gates.
- Gates explained that AI chatbots such as OpenAI’s ChatGPT and Google’s Bard have developed rapidly and can now compete with human-level intelligence on some standardized tests.
- Chatbots’ ability to recognize and recreate human-like language can help improve writing skills, summarize text, and offer feedback on essays.
- AI chatbots must improve their ability to read and recreate human language to better motivate students before becoming a viable tutor.
- Gates believes that chatbots could help make private tutoring available to a wide range of students who may not otherwise be able to afford it.
- While some free versions of chatbots already exist, Gates expects that more advanced versions will be available for a fee, but he believes they will be more affordable and accessible than one-on-one tutoring with a human instructor.
