Microsoft Asia and IDC Asia/Pacific recently released findings specific to the education sector where it found that Artificial Intelligence (AI) will help double the rate of innovation improvements for higher education institutions.
Larry Nelson, regional general manager of education, Microsoft Asia said “For many institutions, student performance has a direct impact on rankings. AI can be a tool to help better manage outcomes and ensure continued innovation to optimise operations and enhance student engagements, as it reduces resource intensive work among faculty and administrative staff.”
Based on the study, the top business drivers for education leaders to adopt AI include better student engagement, higher funding, and accelerated innovation. For institutions that have adopted AI, they are already seeing improvements in the range of 11% to 28% today in areas such as higher funding, accelerated innovation, higher competitiveness, improved efficiency and better student engagement.
Genius is one percent inspiration and ninety-nine percent perspiration.
