Where do you see yourself in 10 years?

The use of AI in the learning arena does have its uses. Biometrics and facial recognition are already utilised in some places for verifying exam candidates and taking roll-call. These systems may also be able to collect data on online interactions and behaviour to see how learners are reacting to content and identify what may be better used to encourage their interest and focus. This technology may also be able to reduce the workload on educators by automating certain tasks like grading and offering guidance and discussion through chatbots. I will be working in the education industry.
