Artificial intelligence (AI) and blockchain technology are beginning to be actively integrated into the education sector, offering new ways to enhance accessibility and verification of academic achievements.
The Role of Artificial Intelligence in Education
Online educator John von Seggern, founder of the Futureproof Music School, uses AI to optimize the structure of electronic music production courses. This facilitates the creation of learning materials and their adaptation to student needs.
Blockchain as a Verification Tool
Von Seggern plans to introduce blockchain accreditation for students, which will serve as proof of their achievements and knowledge. Thus, blockchain technology helps eliminate document fraud by simplifying the process of sharing qualification data between educational institutions. According to an OECD study, the use of blockchain technologies ensures a high level of confidence in the verification of educational content.
New Initiatives in Education
Projects like Open Campus offer the use of blockchain technology for storing educational certificates. Earlier this year, they launched EDU Chain—a blockchain for storing educational data that ensures robust protection against forgery. Binance chairman CZ also expressed a desire to teach billions of children through the Giggle Academy platform, utilizing generative AI to create courses.
The integration of AI and blockchain technologies into education opens new horizons, providing a possibility for higher quality and more accessible learning, as well as reliable means for verifying academic achievements.
