Is AI Exacerbating the Third Digital Divide in EduTech?
The recent flurry of discussions about AI, cheating and the purpose of education have got me reflecting on Michael Trucano thought-provoking post from 2023 about how artificial intelligence might change the evolution of digital divides in education. Mike’s central proposal is this:
1. The first digital divide: The rich have technology, while the poor do not.
2. The second digital divide: The rich have technology and the skills to use it effectively, while the poor have technology but lack skills to use it effectively.
3. The third digital divide: The rich have access to both technology and people to help them use it, while the poor have access to technology only.
I fully agree with his take on the third divide – but is there more to consider two years later? Below are some personal ‘thinking out loud’ observations. Please share your reactions and any research to strengthen, refute or add to the points.
