He also assured that we have good tools today and if one fully adopts m n that could lead to progress in math scores that we’ve made in last 20 years. He added, " So my optimism about edtech (education Techlogy) in general is t just because of AI. It is a set of things, even before this latest advance, that I think we’re getting smarter about and getting out into field." tably, re have been free versions of chatbots which were existing already however, co-founder of Microsoft has been expecting that more advanced versions would be available for a fee.
