How artificial intelligence is destined to revamp education

In recent years, technology has shaped classrooms all over the world. Not too long ago, chalk and blackboards were all you needed, but then computers, tablets, and the internet came along. But recently, education is being augmented and taken to next level by virtual reality (VR) and artificial intelligence (AI). According to a recent Pearson report, AI is set to positively transform education in the coming years. "The future offers the potential of even greater tools and supports. Imagine lifelong learning companions powered by AI that can accompany and support individual learners throughout their studies -- in and beyond school -- or new forms of assessment that measure learning while it is taking place, shaping the learning experience in real time," the authors of the report wrote.
