Futuresource AI in Education Market Outlook

Since Chat GPT was launched at the end of 2022, educational institutions have been faced with the dilemma of using this tool to reduce repetitive tasks as well being able to quickly translate, check grammar, generate ideas, versus potential privacy issues, plagiarism and offensive content.

In addition, there has been increased pressure on already overstretched teachers to quickly learn how to use the variety of generative AI tools that are quickly appearing in the educational space. This report assesses current state of AI PC hardware and software developments, analyses the benefits and challenges of using AI tools in education, as well as offering outlook on the shape of the sector during the next five years.

This report covers:

  • Market Sizing – To quantify the current levels of AI PCs adoption in K-12 and High Ed, which covers total of desktops, notebooks and Chromebook and excludes BYOD and tablet PCs.
  • Market Forecasting – To develop five-year shipment forecasts for AI PCs and review key factors influencing the market expansion.
  • Opportunities and Challenges of AI tools – To identify the pace of adoption of these tools in education.
  • Teaching and Learning about AI - To identify how teachers and students are currently embracing the benefits of AI technology.
  • AI Rules and Regulations – To gauge the state of standardisation in the approach to AI incorporation in at the regional and country levels.
  • Product, Technology, & Competitive Review – To identify and interpret key market developments and trends.
  • Institutional and Student feedback interviews with IT decision makers and students in K-12 and High Ed sector – To formulate the current state of AI tools adoption and future expectations.

The current report follows major announcements at Computex 2024, where AI-ready silicon featured in almost every product. Key players in the chip industry, including Nvidia, Intel, AMD, Qualcomm, and ARM, showcased AI-enabled PCs with specialised chips to run AI applications directly on the device. This marks a significant leap in user interaction with PCs.

However, the majority of industries are still “trying for size” AI tools before committing to major investments. This is particularly true for the education sectors, as both K-12 and Higher Ed institutions explore use cases for AI tools, while simultaneously trying to preserve and enhance the human element of teaching and learning.

To drive meaningful, widespread adoption, there needs to be proven time-saving efficiencies for teachers and measurable improvements in learning outcomes for students.
