How Artificial Intelligence will Change Education for Good

Artificial Intelligence (AI) benefits Education in various ways, such as by providing personalized learning, smart content creation, and 24*7 assistance.

FREMONT, CA: Visiting the library to photocopy a few pages from an encyclopedia for a school project is a thing of the past. Increasingly, children grow up with technology at their fingertips, making the internet their primary source of information, Education, and entertainment. Children aged eight to 12 in the U.S. spend almost five hours a day looking at screens, while teenagers spend almost seven hours each day - and that's not counting time spent doing schoolwork. Since the covid-19 pandemic and the ensuing social restrictions and lockdowns, chalkboard learning in physical classrooms has also decreased significantly. The way we learn will continue to change as technology and society continue to evolve and develop, both for children and adults.

Global Market Insights predicts that the AI education market could reach $20 billion by 2027. The industry's growth is good news, as AI can ultimately reduce the workload for teachers.

The role of the teacher might be replaced by AI technology in the future, however, according to some educators. Fortunately, robots are not likely to replace teachers anytime soon. In addition to teaching students literacy and math, AI programs cannot impart social and emotional skills.

Education and AI: There are many benefits to using AI in Education, both for students and for teachers:

• Whenever and wherever individuals want, they can access learning resources.
• AI automation can automate time-consuming, tedious tasks such as maintaining records or grading multiple-choice tests.
• Chatbots can answer frequently asked questions.
• Chatbots and AI tutors can answer questions at any time.
• Personalized learning can be tailored and adapted to each student's goals and abilities.

AI in Education: examples

Well-being on an emotional level: The emotional state of a child impacts their ability to focus, engage, and remain motivated to learn. By using emotion recognition technology, virtual schools can be just as effective as face-to-face learning environments. Learning can also be made fun of with gamification. Furthermore, AI can help students improve in areas where they struggle and, ultimately, excel.

Identifying and filling gaps: By using AI, teachers can identify gaps in their presentations and educational materials and suggest adjustments as needed.

Children working with AI: With Nao, children will learn everything from literacy to computer programming by talking, moving, and interacting with a humanoid robot. Nao provides students with a fun coding lab where they can learn about science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM). Through this introduction to basic coding, students can instruct the robot to perform specific tasks, such as choreographed dances or hand gestures. Students will become familiar with telling a robot (or program) what to do, thus preparing them for a world where robots and humans work together.
