Artificial intelligence: impact on education

Dubai: Artificial Intelligence (AI) isn't the future, it is the present. People have woken up to the many benefits that AI has to offer, especially in the field of education. We have already witnessed the rise of education technology in today's classrooms especially through a host of adaptive learning platforms. With virtual reality (VR) making inroads at a rapid pace and coding being taught to children, we see that educators are embracing technological advancements as an integral part of the teaching system just like chalk and blackboards. It is not the simple matter of whiteboards in place of blackboards or the obsolescence of textbooks. From kindergarten to graduate school, one of the best ways AI will impact education is through the application of greater levels of individualised learning.
