""a much better use of a teacher's time." 'A normal teacher is in broadcast mode in a classroom, where they're telling the children the answers to questions the children didn't just wonder about,' Hinton said. 'Whereas with an AI tutor, the AI tutor can always be telling you the answers to questions you did just wonder about, and you learn much faster that way.'"
"'Uses in education,' Hinton said, specifically highlighting the Alpha School in the US. The Alpha School is a network of private institutions that embrace AI-based learning for students in kindergarten through 12th grade. The schools use a two-hour learning model, where students complete their core subjects in just a couple hours through the use of AI, freeing up their afternoons to work with teachers on life skills and hands-on workshops."
AI-based tutoring enables students to complete core K–12 subjects rapidly by answering immediate questions, creating individualized, faster learning paths. A two-hour learning model can concentrate core lessons into short sessions, freeing afternoons for life skills, hands-on workshops, and teacher-led projects. Teachers shift from lecture-style broadcasting to mentorship, social development, and project guidance, improving use of in-person time. Early implementations operate in private networks with higher tuition because AI infrastructure costs remain high. Broader adoption and falling technology costs are expected to make AI-supported schooling more affordable over time.
