“We believe that AI will bolster our mission of internationalization since it will help to bridge language barriers, bolster recruiting and admission, and optimize current and future cross-cultural partnerships,” said Zhenyu Wu, CFO of EpicQuest Education. “We plan to integrate AI into a wide spectrum of our business activities and believe that AI will revolutionize the way that institutions of higher learning function. EpicQuest Education plans to be a leader in the early adoption of this new and exciting technology.”
On July 4, CFO Zhenyu Wu delivered a presentation entitled ‘Higher Education in the Age of Artificial Intelligence’ at an event hosted by Davis University in Beijing. Among the many examples of the benefits of AI cited are customized instruction, text-to-speech technology, real-time translation for non-native speakers, new educational programming and AI-driven data analytics.
“Our planned AI-powered tutoring and learning platform will provide adaptive learning, real-time feedback and 24/7 availability, all of which have the potential to vastly improve student engagement and achievement. Our approach is to provide a blended model of both AI and traditional tutors which combines the benefits of targeted learning feedback with human connection and mentorship. We believe that the our future AI platforms will increase in sophistication and become increasingly collaborative for both students and teachers. AI can provide analytics on student performance and course effectiveness, and it can enable early intervention to improve graduation rates.”
