Despite the growth of some AI schools like Alpha, research doesn’t show that AI tutors are better than human teachers

Alpha School, an AI-focused for-profit education provider, has expanded from one campus to over 15 across the US, targeting AI-driven personalized K-12 education.
Proponents argue that AI can offer personalized tutoring to address diverse learning speeds, akin to an individualized tutor for each student.
Studies indicate that AI can enhance tutoring effectiveness, particularly when it’s used as a supplement to regular classroom teaching, providing flexibility in instruction tailored to student progress.
There is no conclusive evidence that AI tutors significantly outperform human tutors in student achievement, although some contexts show benefits.
The emphasis should be on AI supporting teachers rather than replacing them, potentially aiding lesson planning and integrating with classroom activities to foster collaborative learning environments.
