Personalized Learning: Artificial Intelligence and Education in the Future

It goes without saying that artificial intelligence is changing the nature of industries from transportation to finance, and education is no different with the prospect of personalized learning quickly becoming a reality. As more and more of a student's education is experienced through a computer, data on their educational progress can be collected, leading to more personalized learning plans while assisting the teacher in identifying problem areas for students. While artificial intelligence in education might appear unnerving for some, the benefits are too great to ignore. There are few spaces in life that haven't been touched in some form by computer software. Whether it's shopping, dating, or just keeping up with old friends, everything we do seems to be mediated in some form by computers.
