LONDON, June 26 (Reuters) - Pearson has entered
a multi-year partnership with Alphabet's Google cloud
service, providing students with AI learning tools that also
make teachers' jobs easier, the British education company said
on Thursday.
The tie-up will focus on creating personalised learning
tools powered by Google's advanced artificial intelligence
models for students in primary and secondary school.
The tools will adapt to each student's pace and needs, while
also helping teachers track performance and tailor lessons, the
companies said in a statement.
Pearson Chief Executive Omar Abbosh said AI could help
reshape school education by replacing uniform teaching methods
with personalised learning paths tailored to individual
students.
Pearson has also signed multi-year AI-focused partnerships
with Microsoft ( MSFT ) and Amazon's ( AMZN ) cloud computing
services, as part of its efforts to personalise learning and
offer more digital education tools.
