AI bots as virtual teachers

"Tell me and I forget, teach me and I may remember, involve me and I learn." The pandemic not only propelled us to rethink the means of how we learn – accelerating the adoption of online learning, but also brought to the forefront discourses around the quality of education, and more importantly, accessibility for all. Adoption of emerging technologies such as Artificial Intelligence, Augmented Reality and Virtual Reality have enabled us to provide students with immersive and personalised learning experiences and, while doing so, achieve superior learning outcomes. And to my mind, adoption of AI bots as virtual teachers is the next big innovation that has the potential to transform the face of education. AI bots, chatbots in particular, have become a rather common phenomenon in today's time.
