HOBOKEN, N.J., July 29, 2024 /PRNewswire/ — As part of its broader strategy update to investors, Pearson (FTSE: PSON.L), the world’s lifelong learning company, today announced new generative AI-powered tools to support teaching and learning across various age levels.

Last summer, Pearson became the first major higher education publisher to integrate generative AI study tools into its proprietary academic content. Pearson is accelerating its AI efforts through additional features debuting next month to provide a richer, more engaging experience for both students and educators. These include:
Expanded reach of Pearson’s AI study tools: Millions more students will have access to new AI study tools in time for fall back-to-school as they are on track to extend into a further c.80 titles, including expansion into international editions. 70,000 students have already started using Pearson’s AI study tools in Pearson’s teaching and learning platforms, Mastering and MyLab, and their closely integrated Pearson+ eTextbooks.New AI study tool features: Pearson is adding three new AI tools to Pearson+ Channels. Students will be able to upload their syllabus to generate personalized learning experiences in the order they appear in the syllabus. A new AI tutor will help students get “unstuck” with steps to solve problems along with unique video content and practice questions. A final feature includes an AI tutor on top of each video that will answer questions about the concepts in the video.New AI instructor tool: A generative AI tool, designed to help instructors efficiently build assignments, will be added to 25 business, math, science, and nursing titles in the US next month. This new tool will allow educators to spend more time working directly with their students, and less on time-consuming, but important tasks like assignment design and creation.New AI tools for high school learners and teachers: Pearson’s full-time online K-12 public school program, Connections Academy, is adapting the AI tools from Pearson’s higher education courseware for certain subjects in its high school curriculum. Connections Academy teachers can also now use AI-based tools to design assessments for their students.Tony Prentice, Chief Product Officer, said: “It’s encouraging to see students so actively engaged with our AI-powered tools, embracing this massive change in the technology landscape and driving new demand. Our unique approach combines AI with our trusted content to unlock new ways to personalize learning and teaching that will help people realize the life they imagine through learning.”
In addition to the introduction of new AI tools, Pearson is also working on an AI teaching assistant for English language teachers that supports teachers as they plan and create lessons for students who are English language learners.
Pearson’s application of generative AI is backed by learning scientists, vetted by subject matter experts, and based on content from Pearson’s library of higher education materials. Pearson is committed to investing in the responsible application of AI to advance product innovation and enhance the learning experience.

Huawei Wen Tong: 6G Needs to Embrace AI for Shaping Future Network

Published

huawei-wen-tong:-6g-needs-to-embrace-ai-for-shaping-future-network

SHENZHEN, China, Sept. 29, 2024 /PRNewswire/ — At the 6G Conference held in Istanbul, on September 24, 2024, Dr. Wen Tong, Huawei Wireless CTO, delivered a keynote speech on 6G standardization and innovation. With the release of the ITU-R 6G vision framework, the 3GPP will start 6G standardization in 2025. “6G is a new generation of mobile technology, not a simple upgrade of 5G, it should bring new value to users,” said Dr. Tong, “6G is a true intergenerational technological disruption. 6G standard, key technologies, and network architecture should be re-defined based on application scenarios and requirements from 2030 to 2040. 6G should not be another way to implement 5G. Instead, 6G should embrace the AI revolution with a quantum leap and generate new values for the consumers. In this way, 3GPP standards can truly realize the 6G vision and create greater value for the entire industry.”

Centered “6G Standardization Direction” and “6G Innovation Driving Force”, Dr. Tong shared important views on the future architecture, terminal development, and key technologies of 6G.
In terms of architecture design, 6G should go beyond Service-Based Architecture and move towards Application-Driven Network.
5G has already achieved market success and continues to evolve towards 5G-Advanced. 6G will not simply reuse 5G network architecture, without generational and fundamental innovations, which will limit the mobile industry’s aspiration and imagination to dive the innovation in the 6G era. 6G must have obvious cross-generational characteristics and technical breakpoint.
On the core side, reusing the 5G core network will hinder the innovation in AI. We should use Agentic-AI based technology to re-architect 6G Core that goes beyond 5G Service-Based Architecture and support the foundational capabilities of AI, Sensing and NTN , and thus evolve towards the Application Driven Network .
In terms of terminal evolution, 6G user device calls for a breakthrough to lead the success of the entire industry chain.
It is the law of the mobile industry to drive the evolution of the market with the pioneering technology. The 6G networks and 6G terminals must meet the requirements of consumers and vertical industries in the 6G market phase from 2030 to 2040.
Currently, smartphones are evolving to AI terminals to usher in the mobile AI era. In post-MBB era, breakthroughs in terminal technologies will be the key to the evolution of the mobile industry. Therefore, 6G user device calls for a breakthrough towards “Full-AI”, thus to drive 6G network upgrade and the success of the entire industry ecosystem.
In terms of technology development, AI will become a key enabler for 6G with network paradigm shifting.
Twenty years ago, the Internet was the enabler of the technology innovations. Mobile communications embraced the Internet and achieved great business success. Today, AI maybe the disruptive enabler of the latest technology innovations.
6G should embrace the AI revolution with a quantum leap. However, 6G networks should not be limited to generative AI, Artificial General Intelligence (AGI) and Embodiment-AI are the main directions of future AI development. Therefore, AGI should run through the whole process of sensing, reasoning, decision, and action of terminals, wireless networks, and core networks of 6G, to welcome the arrival of a new network paradigm.
At the end, Dr. Tong Wen emphasized the relationship between 5G and 6G: “The global 5G deployment is on the rise and evolving to 5G-Advanced, which not only meets the current requirements of operators, but also protects their investment. Therefore, 6G technologies should not overlap with 5G in technologies and market space. The specifications, technologies, and architecture of 6G must be based on the scenarios and requirements from 2030 to 2040. We should focus on true generational technology disruption, embrace the new opportunities brought by AI, expand the mobile industry in the next generation.”
