Agentic AI is transforming education by offering personalized learning at scale. AI agents now create tailored lesson plans for students in real time, using data to spot learning gaps and adjust content. For example, these tools can design Individualized Education Programs (IEPs)—normally time-consuming for teachers—in seconds, making customized support available to all students. This shift is critical as classrooms use nearly 50 different tech tools yearly, and AI helps connect these systems to track progress smoothly.

In higher education, Arizona State University (ASU) is hosting a major event in October 2025 to explore AI’s role in the student experience. The conference will cover intelligent tutoring, ethical AI use, and success stories from schools using these tools. Early registration offers discounts, highlighting the growing demand for AI expertise in education.

Workforce training is also evolving. Companies use agentic AI to identify skill gaps and design training programs that boost cognitive engagement. A 2024 Pearson report found that students using AI-enhanced eTextbooks improved critical thinking and stayed four times more engaged. Similarly, 77% of U.S. college faculty plan to adopt AI for creating study materials, freeing time for mentoring.

At the ASU+GSV Summit, Element451 demonstrated how AI agents streamline college services. With students facing long waits for financial aid or counseling, AI can provide instant, personalized support. For example, AI chatbots handle routine questions, allowing staff to focus on complex cases.

Finally, schools are pushing AI literacy to prepare educators. Experts recommend summer training for teachers to understand AI tools, ensuring they can use them ethically and effectively. This global trend emphasizes balancing innovation with privacy and equity, as AI becomes a classroom staple worldwide.
