Generative AI is all the rage. The industry is expected to grow from $11.3 billion this year to $51.8 billion by 2028—or a rate of about 76% each year. But what’s lesser known is the impact of generative AI across multiple industries: education in particular. AI has the potential to scale customized learning to everyone. Education Technology, or EdTech, must find the delivery models that will support that scale.
Neuron Vectors, an early-stage proptech startup focused on education-centered communities, is looking to bring AI-based learning technology to help transform communities. Typically, a residential community might have pre-existing amenities like dining, offices, wellness centers, and more.
Neuron Vectors believes that with greater infrastructure to support an AI-EdTech revolution, there’s much more AI can do to bolster education. That’s why Neuron Vectors’ recent proposal to build AI-EdTech residential communities—featuring technology-driven innovations like augmented reality spaces, upskilling classes, and digital assistants—could help launch a revolution in education tech.
The Neuron Vectors approach is simple: education is the great equalizer. With access to high-quality education, any individual can acquire the skills and learning necessary to explore the full potential of their lives. AI gives machines the ability to scale a customized approach to every student and every interaction, which extends the reach of high-quality education. It becomes available to everyone.
Everyone, that is, with proper access. The traditional education model relies on pre-existing systems: schools, in particular. But this model may not be sufficient for the rapidly evolving AI economy. A traditional lecture-based teaching model treats all children as being on an equal playing field. An AI approach can customize learning to match each student’s needs.
Recent advancements have shown AI possesses this potential already. AI technology has already achieved mass adoption thanks to Open AI’s ChatGPT, Atropic’s Claude 2, and many other startups. Recently, Amazon invested $4 billion into Antropic’s AI research platform. Large-scale companies are beginning to invest in AI, which means we’re just scratching the surface of what they can do.
It’s high time that innovation extends to EdTech.
The goal of Neuron Vectors? Establishing over 2,500 integrated education-based communities across the United States by 2035. The firm sees an overall “Educational Social Network” coming into play. With sufficient support, AI could provide digital avatars and AI assistants for residents of all ages. Along with that assistance, AI can help everyone self-steer their educational journey.
This would mean that individual students no longer have to rely on outdated educational models to get the care and attention they deserve. Through the Educational Social Network, an individual would have the opportunity to access these AI digital avatars. These avatars would give residents of any age a leg up in whatever they’re trying to do. Whether that’s getting directions to the nearest wellness center or identifying the best classes for improving their skills, these digital avatars will serve as guides on every resident’s educational journey.
A community can offer a lot in the way of education. Wellness centers can educate people about good physical and mental habits. Augmented Reality spaces can educate people about the world around them. EdTech spaces can help people improve their skills and choose educational paths that take them to new heights.
An AI-infused EdTech residential community can transform an area into a vibrant, transformative learning environment. All it takes is the assistance of this AI to help residents navigate these features.
AI is fast evolving, so we’re just scratching the surface of what it can accomplish. Nowhere is that more apparent than in EdTech. Companies like OpenAI, Atropic, Riid, Cognii, Memrise, Else, and Alef provide adaptive learning systems and AI tutoring to bring personalized, tailored education to every student. And AI even supports tutors and teachers by using “smart grading” to make evaluations faster and more efficient.
It wasn’t long ago that AI was the stuff of science fiction and fantasy. Artificial Intelligence as an assistant, an interpreter, a teacher, and a friend—this was supposed to be technology centuries out of our reach. But generative AI is fast proving that innovations in the EdTech space can be exponential.
Generative AI should be more than the occasional chatbot or customer service agent. It should accomplish more than shortening how long it takes to finish an email. Merged with EdTech, and given the proper support of an Educational Social Network, Generative AI should tap into its life-changing potential and help students across the country improve their skills, learning, and relationship with education.
Neuron Vector wants to see 5,000 integrated education-based communities by 2035, building an Educational Social Network that transforms how people think about learning. And it may soon be coming to a community near you.
