South Korea’s Education Ministry has reported that the transition to digital textbooks using artificial intelligence (AI) in the classroom has gotten off to a slow start, with an adoption rate of just 33%. To fully integrate AI textbooks, schools must complete several steps prior to implementation within the National Education Information System, including registration of selected AI textbooks, inputting class schedules and updating students’ academic records. The administrative processes mean that students and teachers may have to wait one or two weeks additionally before they can actively use the digital materials. To address potential technical issues, the government has set up a comprehensive response center, which includes a smart inquiry system to monitor and resolve problems in real time.
