Role of Artificial Intelligence in the rise of edtech

Artificial Intelligence (AI) in education has been around for a while, typically doing tasks that require human intelligence. An early memory of AI would be adaptive testing where questions would get tougher and tougher as you kept on answering the right questions. Over the last decade or so computing power has gained leaps and bounds and AI is also getting more evolved to play a larger role in education both for the teacher and learner. Today, Grammarly is a common tool used by many of us which uses AI with natural language processing (NLP) to produce recommendations. One of the challenges for AI is that a large amount of data is required to run the solutions effectively.
