AI is expected to impart literacy skills to children in a span of 18 months: Bill Gates


AI chatbots have the potential to enhance kids' reading and writing abilities in the next 18 months, as per Bill Gates, the co-founder of Microsoft. During a conversation at the ASU+GSV Summit in San Diego, Gates explained that AI chatbots will reach a point where they can be as good at tutoring as humans.

In recent months, AI chatbots like OpenAI's ChatGPT and Google's Bard have made significant progress and can now match human intelligence on certain standardized tests.

Teaching writing skills to computers has been challenging because they lack the human-like thinking process. However, AI chatbots can now recognize and reproduce language that resembles human language.

Kevin Roose, a tech columnist for The New York Times, has already used ChatGPT to improve his writing by utilizing the AI's ability to quickly access online style guides. Academics have also been impressed by chatbots' capability to summarize, offer feedback, and even write full essays.

However, the technology needs further improvement before it can become a viable tutor. Gates highlighted the need for AI to become better at understanding and replicating human language to effectively motivate students.

Interestingly, chatbots are expected to excel in reading and writing before mastering mathematics. Developing AI technology often relies on mathematical tasks, but chatbots struggle with complex mathematical calculations.

Gates is optimistic that advancements in AI will occur within the next two years, making private tutoring accessible to a broader range of students who might not be able to afford it otherwise.

While some free versions of chatbots already exist, Gates anticipates that more advanced versions will be available for a fee. Nevertheless, he believes they will be more affordable and accessible compared to one-on-one tutoring with a human instructor.
