New Delhi [India], March 23: As India accelerates the adoption of artificial intelligence in education, SMART Technologies has reinforced its commitment to a teacher-first approach to AI adoption, emphasizing that technology must enhance classroom teaching rather than replace educators. The announcement comes amid growing national focus on AI-led education reforms, where policymakers and institutions are exploring how intelligent technologies can be effectively integrated into learning environments. SMART Technologies underlined that while AI presents opportunities to personalize learning and improve efficiency, its impact will depend on how effectively it supports teachers in real classroom settings.
“India’s AI moment in education is real, and it is accelerating,” said Anshul Srivastav, Country Head, India, SMART Technologies. “However, technology alone cannot transform learning. The real transformation happens through teachers. AI should equip educators with better insights, tools, and time to focus on students, rather than attempting to replace the human connection at the core of learning.”
SMART Technologies has built its approach to classroom AI around this principle, especially through Lumio, the browser-based teaching companion that brings AI capability and human creativity together. Lumio’s AI Assist not only enables teachers to quickly generate quiz-based activities, but also full lessons with just a single prompt, significantly reducing preparation time while maintaining control over content and delivery. The platform also enables teachers to customize learning materials according to grade levels, design interactive classroom activities, and track student engagement in real time, ensuring that AI supports instruction without limiting educator autonomy.
