Umbutho ongenangeniso ozimeleyo ovavanya ikharityhulam ye-K-12, i-EdReports, uphakamise iliso elibukhali kumabango abathengisi malunga nokusebenza ngempumelelo kwezixhobo zobukrelekrele bokwenziwa (artificial intelligence - AI) ezidityaniswa kwisoftware yokufundisa. Emva kokuhlola izinto ezithengiswayo emarikeni, lo mbutho uxele ukuba abaphuhlisi bezobuchwepheshe bezemfundo (edtech) bafakela ngokukhawuleza izongezo ze-AI kwizixhobo ezisisiseko nezokuxhasa ngaphandle kobungqina obaneleyo obubonisa ukuba ziphucula iziphumo zokufunda.

Ethetha kwipodcast yeveki neveki yakwa-EdSurge, iGosa eliPhezulu lezeMfundo kwa-EdReports uCourtney Allison ubalule iyantlukwano ebalulekileyo kwindlela ezisebenza ngayo ezi zixhobo: amanye amaqonga avumela ootitshala ukuba bahlole kwaye bavumele izinto ezenziwe yi-AI ngaphambi kokuba abafundi bazisebenzise, ngelixa ezinye izixhobo zinikezela ngezifundo ezizisebenzelayo kunye nokufundisa kwe-AI ngexesha lokwenyani ngqo kubafundi ngaphandle kweliso likatitshala. U-Allison uqaphele ukuba ezi ngenelelo zizisebenzelayo zicima ngokuthe ngcembe umda wesiqhelo phakathi kwekharityhulam esisiseko kunye nezixhobo zokuncedisa ezisegumbini lokufundela.

Ezi ziphumo zikhomba kumthwalo okhulayo wovavanyo kwiziphathamandla zezemfundo. UGqr. Lewis Ferebee, owayesakuba yitshansela ye-DC Public Schools nowajoyina i-EdReports njenge-CEO, uqaphele ukuba iinkokeli zezithili zezikolo zisala nezigqibo ezinzima zokuthengwa kweempahla (procurement) malunga nokuba ngubani ofanele avavanye izixhobo zokufundisa ezisebenzisa i-algorithms nokuba ngubani ofanele axhase ngemali olo hlolisiso. Kubaphathi bezikolo abavavanya amaqonga okufunda edijithali, olu phononongo lubalaselisa umngcipheko wokusebenzisa iimpawu ze-AI ezingangqinwanga ngaphambi kokuba kumiselwe imigangatho ecacileyo yezokufundisa kunye neeprothokholi zokubeka iliso.
