How Artificial Intelligence (AI) Is Being Used in Higher Ed

From chatbots to discussion platforms, artificial intelligence (AI) is popping up at campuses all over the globe. In fact, the recent AI in Education Market Research Report from Research and Markets predicts that the global AI in education market will reach $25.7 billion in 2030, up from just $1.1 billion in 2019. The report shows that the largest demand for AI has been for learning platforms, mainly because of the increasing preference for remote and online education courses--even before the pandemic. It predicts that the next AI area to explode will be intelligent tutoring systems applications. A chatbot is a computer program that imitates human conversation and continually learns from every conversation it has, improving the efficiency of its responses.
