AI and blockchain revolutionize education sector

Expanding access to education

Artificial intelligence and blockchain technologies are reshaping traditional education systems by providing alternative credentialing systems and AI-powered content. Online educator John von Seggern, founder of the Futureproof Music School, utilizes an AI assistant to enhance and structure courses for his students. He plans to introduce blockchain-based credentials for course completers to offer verifiable proof of their achievements.

Global adoption of blockchain in education

According to a report from the Organization for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD), there is a growing international interest in utilizing blockchain technology to issue, share, and verify educational qualifications. This technology helps prevent records fraud, facilitates the mobility of learners and workers across institutions and regions, and empowers individuals by giving them more control over their data. Analysts predict that the combination of blockchain and AI will disrupt various sectors, including education, healthcare, and content creation.

Transforming education through technology

Blockchain credentials, along with AI-powered content, offer borderless verifiability and cost-effective learning options for students. Open Campus recently launched the EDU Chain, a layer-3 blockchain designed to securely store student credentials and certificates. Binance co-founder CZ highlighted the importance of technology in education by unveiling Giggle Academy, a free online platform aimed at educating one billion children. CZ emphasized the role of generative AI in creating course content for the Giggle Academy project, showcasing the transformative potential of AI and blockchain in the education sector.
