Ambient artificial intelligence is being hyped as a new wave of AI with the potential to make today’s tech-enabled classrooms even smarter. Compared with the transactional nature of traditional AI, ambient AI “fades into the environment rather than sitting in a visible tool waiting for someone to type a prompt,” explains Narmeen Makhani, founder of AIxecute, a strategic advisory and consulting firm. The technology is already being employed in medical settings, helping clinicians with note-taking and after-visit summaries. To pick up on engagement and classroom interaction in real time, ambient AI systems would likely involve cameras and microphones, environmental sensors, device interaction data and learning platform signals. But it’s ambient AI’s ability to be more context-aware — drawing on signals from the environment, activity or workflow without requiring constant or direct interaction — that could potentially enhance teaching and learning within the classroom.
