Early education especially is not something that AI can handle, because it isn't just about learning facts or processes. Take small motor skill acquisition, for example: you have kids play with play-dough, finger-paint, fold origami, play musical instruments, and learn various handwriting styles like block and cursive and calligraphic styles, all to teach kids how to move their hands in complex ways to achieve what their brains want. AI isn't going to do that for kids, and tablets seem to have made motor-skills acquisition worse since the range of movements needed for a tablet is much smaller than that needed for 3d manipulation of objects in the real world.
I don't think AI is going to excel in language education, either: I get bored chatting with a bot very quickly. Language education is all about keeping students engaged and communicating about tasks they actually care about. I don't see chatbots like ChatGPT doing that.
