Leverage Existing Creations, Don’t Compete with Them
Edtech companies face significant challenges in competing with foundational model creators, as the competitive edge will not emerge from enhancing model intelligence. Established organizations can effectively utilize existing technologies for complex educational tasks, while smaller companies may only gain specificity in niche areas like curriculum development or data analysis. The focus should be on effectively applying powerful technologies, integrating them with current systems, ensuring access to proprietary data, and facilitating user accessibility rather than attempting to innovate the core intelligence of the models. Additionally, shifts in user behavior and the emergence of various reports highlight the evolving landscape of AI in education.
