AI Empowering Education: Adaptive Learning in China vs. USA

A leading non-profit organization that empowers Chinese American entrepreneurs and leaders.

HYSTA

Join us at this month's HYSTA Entrepreneurs Club on Wednesday, November 15!
We are happy to introduce Richard Tong, Chief Architect at Yixue Education as our first speaker for this brand new event series. Richard will be sharing his insights in AI empowered education, comparing adaptive learning in China and the US from technlogical and business perspectives.
While AI education has been transforming traditional ways of teaching in multiple dimensions, the world still wonders whether - and to which extent - to let artificial intelligence take over work that has traditionally been done by human teachers. Like in many other fields, human vs. AI battles have been held in the vertical of Edtech worldwide and have seen very different results. Yixue Education, the first AI Adaptive Education company in China, has just announced closing its 41M USD Angel Round on Nov 7 2017. It has also made several headlines recently after winning a battle between computers and humans in Zhengzhou, China, where an AI adaptive robot beat 3 experienced and nationally certified senior middle-school teachers in the competition. 
As the tech leader and an executive at Yixue, and a thought leader and expert in Edtech, Richard will talk about why and what controversies arises in the field of adaptive learning, how the US and China are different in terms of the research, development and actualization of AI empowered education and the business potential of AI education given the two countries' different socio-cultural contexts.
