Inhlangano engenzi nzuzo ezimele ehlola izinhlelo zokufunda zasezikoleni (K-12), i-EdReports, iphakamise ukungabaza mayelana nezimangalo zabahlinzeki ngokuphathelene nokusebenza kwemishini yobuhlakani bokwenziwa (artificial intelligence - AI) ehlanganiswa kusofthiwe yokufundisa. Ngemva kokuhlola lokho okuhlinzekwa ezimakethe, le nhlangano ibike ukuthi abathuthukisi bezobuchwepheshe bezemfundo (edtech) bafaka ngokushesha izengezo ze-AI ezintweni zokufunda eziyisisekelo nezokwengeza ngaphandle kobufakazi obenele obuqinisekisa ukuthi zenza ngcono imiphumela yokufunda.

Ekhuluma ohlelweni lwe-podcast lwamasonto onke lwe-EdSurge, Isikhulu Esiphezulu Sezemfundo kwa-EdReports, uCourtney Allison, ugqamise ukuhlukana okubalulekile endleleni lezi zinsiza ezisebenza ngayo: amanye amapulatifomu avumela othisha ukuthi bahlole futhi bagunyaze izinto ezikhiqizwe nge-AI ngaphambi kokuba abafundi bazisebenzise, kanti ezinye izinsiza ziletha izifundo ezizenzakalelayo nokufundisa kwe-AI ngesikhathi sangempela ngqo kubafundi ngaphandle kokugadwa nguthisha. U-Allison uphawule ukuthi lokhu kungenelela okuzenzakalelayo kufiphalisa umngcele wendabuko phakathi kohlelo lwezifundo oluyisisekelo nezinsiza-kufundisa ezengeziwe zasekilasini.

Lokhu okutholakele kukhomba umthwalo okhulayo wokuhlola ezikhulwini zemfundo. UDkt. Lewis Ferebee, owayengu-chancellor we-DC Public Schools owajoyina i-EdReports njenge-CEO, uphawule ukuthi abaholi bezifunda zezikole basala nezinqumo ezinzima zokuthengwa kwempahla (procurement) mayelana nokuthi ngubani okufanele ahlole amathuluzi okufundisa asebenzisa ama-algorithm nokuthi ngubani okufanele axhase lokho kuhlola ngezimali. Kubaphathi bezikole abahlola amapulatifomu okufunda edijithali, lokhu kubuyekezwa kugcizelela ubungozi bokusebenzisa izici ze-AI ezingakaqinisekiswa ngaphambi kokuba kumiswe izindinganiso ezicacile zokufundisa (pedagogical standards) kanye nemithetho yokwengamela.
