Adaptive learning systems were among the first to use artificial intelligence, creating a subcategory in learntech that has been on a slow burn since the 2010s.

Markus brings hope, some reassurance, but also further causes for concern about the use of AI in corporates that haven’t so far registered in the public debate.
