Hi there,
Welcome to this week's edition of AI In Education Weekly.
Google has made headlines with its announcement of a $1 billion investment over the next three years to boost AI training and resources at U.S. universities and nonprofits. This initiative will involve over 100 institutions, aiming to enhance the educational landscape with advanced AI capabilities. In a related development, Google also introduced a new tool called Guided Learning within its Gemini platform on August 6, 2025. This tool is designed to improve user understanding through AI tutoring, positioning itself as a competitor to OpenAI's ChatGPT Study Mode.
Meanwhile, Duolingo reported exceeding its quarterly revenue estimates and projected over $1 billion in revenue for the year, despite facing criticism for its 'AI-first' strategy. Additionally, a report by Validated Insights highlights a significant gap between the demand for AI training and the availability of credit-bearing programs at universities. This edition also covers IIT Delhi's new guidelines for the ethical use of generative AI in education, and insights from economist Tyler Cowen on how AI is exposing flaws in the education system. Stay tuned for more updates on these and other stories in the world of AI in education.
