Coaching centres are likely in for serious competition from the rise of AI
India's edtech firms as well as traditional coaching centres may have some serious competition coming from the unstoppable rise of artificial intelligence, as Big Tech pushes to showcase AI as a formidable study assistant for students preparing for coveted jobs and top engineering colleges.
OpenAI, the world's most prominent artificial intelligence startup, on Tuesday launched a 'study mode' on its ubiquitous generative AI chatbot, ChatGPT. With a focus on competitive examinations including India's most popular ones such as engineering and medical entrance tests, the company agreed that ChatGPT's study mode will likely overlap with India's education-tech startups—thereby giving it access to a large, potentially monetizable base of students in the country.
Leah Belsky, vice-president of education at OpenAI, said that the company has used "some" questionnaires and study materials of competitive examinations such as the engineering entrance tests for the Indian Institutes of Technology (IITs) as part of preparing the student-centric study mode.
