In the future, children may grow up with AI assistants, more advanced than Alexas and Google Homes, that will be many things at once: babysitter, tutor, adviser, friend. Such an assistant will be able to teach children virtually any language or train children in any subject, calibrating its style to individual students’ performance and learning styles to bring out their best. AI may serve as a playmate when a child is bored and as a monitor when a child’s parent is away.
