The use of generative artificial intelligence is no longer a choice: we already use it unintentionally, when we search the web or read email, where clients surface AI-generated summaries, and in AI-powered customer-support interactions and recommendation systems. Many countries are investing heavily in AI as a strategic priority. Adoption is accelerating across industries, and education is no exception. How can we as educators best harness AI in the classroom, and how can we avoid its potential pitfalls?

By analogy with the acronym CAI (Computer-Assisted Instruction), we as educators can use AIAI (AI-Assisted Instruction) to refer to AI in education. AI is more than typing a prompt to get an eloquent answer: today’s systems are multimodal, exhibit emerging reasoning capabilities, and can be orchestrated in multi-agent setups. New affordances and use cases are appearing every day, bringing with them new opportunities as well as uncharted challenges and risks. In this talk, we will discuss the many educational use cases of AIAI both for teachers and students, and we will also highlight some of the problems and dangers that accompany them.
