Current Market Trends
The launch of AI has resulted in a large amount of hype regarding the possibilities offered by the new technology. Is this hype justified? Is it a result of an industry push or a market pull? The answer is probably both. While the major technology companies are understandably excited by the possibilities afforded by AI and the new revenue streams that they are opening, the education community, particularly in K-12, has long been promised that PC technology will save teachers time in the classroom and in the marking and assessment processes. This is a promise that the existing iteration of PC technology and software solutions has failed to deliver for many teachers, for a variety of reasons e.g. lack of training, lack of PC literacy, access to the wrong, or outdated, devices and software solutions etc.
The rapid roll out of PC technology during the pandemic, where the global installed base of mobile PCs at K-12 increased from 91 million units in 2019 to 142 million units by the end of 2022, forced many teachers to embrace technology and did much to elevate the acceptance of mobile PCs as a central teaching and learning tool, particularly in the USA, where mobile
PC penetration exceeded 90%. Although this engagement with technology differs from market to market and even in the US from district to district and school to school.
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.
