This week, A&M Private Equity Performance Improvement (PEPI) Education and Education Technology (EdTech) Services is attending the annual ASU+GSV Summit in San Diego – the leading conference for education providers, EdTech companies, investors, professional services firms, and other industry stakeholders. A recurring topic over the three days of the conference has been the long-standing – but still unfulfilled – hope of delivering a personalized approach to each learner, based on their learning style, interests, and other factors. Several speakers and panelists at the Summit have suggested that #ArtificialIntelligence (AI) may finally provide the missing ingredient to achieving this long-sought outcome. Personalized adaptive learning is much more than an academic catch-phrase in didactics and pedagogy. It will be crucial to improving educational, career, and workforce outcomes in the U.S. and beyond. Education and EdTech investors should consider the ability of a company – particularly one that offers AI-enabled tools – to help deliver personalized education and / or personalized assessments at scale. Such companies can achieve sustainable excellence and relevance in this complex and dynamic sector. Connect with Vadim M.

This week, A&M Private Equity Performance Improvement (PEPI) Education and Education Technology (EdTech) Services is attending the annual ASU+GSV Summit in San Diego – the leading conference for education providers, EdTech companies, investors, professional services firms, and other industry stakeholders. Many discussions over the first two days at the Summit have centered on #ArtificialIntelligence (AI), and there is no doubt that AI plays a major role in the future of education and EdTech. That said, several panelists have cautioned that AI should be thought of as a key part of the sector’s future, rather than the entire future. These statements may in part reflect ongoing uncertainty about the ultimate effects of AI – but they also highlight the continuing importance of human judgment in areas such as content creation, assessments, product development and mass customization. AI is likely to be a significant topic in education for a long time to come, and investors in the sector should consider both its potential and its limitations when evaluating specific opportunities.
