学习永不止步：AI 如何让学习持续进行

随着学生们重返校园，OpenAI发布了一份新报告，介绍学生和教育工作者如何利用ChatGPT将学习延伸到课堂之外。

长期以来，学生们不得不等到上课才能提问或获得帮助。教师要在管理行政工作的同时，将注意力分配给几十名学生。家长和辅导老师并不总能在问题出现时及时提供帮助。如今，人工智能正在改变这一切，让学生们在需要时随时获得指导、反馈和练习。

一项注重隐私保护的分析发现，各年龄段的人们每周与ChatGPT进行多达7000万次对话，用于检验自己的知识掌握情况，其中包括纠正误解和请求更多练习。在美国，与课堂作业和家庭作业相关的提示词在学年期间每周峰值超过4.6亿条，并在周日晚上攀升。即使在暑假期间，每周也保持在1.8亿条以上。

对学生而言，持续学习意味着在课堂之外、课程内容还记忆犹新时就能获得代数方面的帮助。对教师而言，这意味着可以在上课铃响之前根据不同能力水平调整作业，或者减少花在重复性文书工作上的时间，把更多时间用于教学。对于在家使用不同语言的家庭来说，这意味着能以他们理解的语言收到学校通知，从而更好地支持孩子的学习进步。

该报告还重点介绍了美国各地以富有成效、创造性和有意义的方式使用人工智能的教师和学生。

人工智能无法取代教师的判断力、家长的鼓励，也无法取代学生为学习所必须付出的努力。但在适当的指导和保障措施下，它可以让教育工作者有更多时间专注于教学，并在更多时间为更多人提供个性化支持。

As students head back to school, OpenAI is releasing a new report on how students and educators are already using ChatGPT to extend learning beyond the classroom.

Students have long had to wait until class to ask a question or get help. Teachers divide their attention among dozens of students while also managing administrative work. Parents and tutors are not always available at the moment a question arises. Now, AI is changing all of that by making guidance, feedback, and practice available whenever students need them.

A privacy-preserving analysis found that people across all age groups have as many as 70 million conversations with ChatGPT each week devoted to testing what they know, which include misconception checks and requests for more practice. In the U.S., prompts related to classwork and homework peak at more than 460 million messages per week during the school year and climb on Sunday evenings. Even during the summer, they remain above 180 million messages per week.

For students, continuous learning can mean getting help with algebra outside of the classroom while the lesson is still fresh. For teachers, it can mean adapting an assignment for different skill levels before the first bell or spending less time on recurring paperwork and more time teaching. For families who speak a different language at home, it can mean receiving school communications in a language they understand and being better able to support a child’s progress.

The report also spotlights individual teachers and students across the U.S. who are using AI in productive, creative, and meaningful ways.

AI cannot replace a teacher’s judgment, a parent’s encouragement, or the work students must do to learn. But with appropriate guidance and safeguards, it can give educators more time to focus on teaching and make individualized support available to more people at more times.
