From phones to watches to TVs, everything around us is becoming'smart'. Education is not so far behind. The'smart' approach to education is typically the incorporation of Machine Learning (ML) in learning and development. Machine Learning leverages Artificially Intelligent methods to teach systems how to make informed decisions without any human intervention. This is done by feeding data to a machine learning algorithm which is then able to process the data and make inferences for future events.

As AI-based applications such as natural language processing (NLP), robotic process automation (RPA), and machine learning (ML) become increasingly popular, the impact of AI is being felt across industries. The global market for artificial intelligence (AI) software is expected to grow rapidly, touching USD 126 billion by 2025, according to Statista. Education is a sector where AI is seeing considerable uptake. The global market for AI in education is expected to touch USD 3.68 billion by 2023, a per a Markets and Markets report. This is hardly surprising given the myriad of applications for AI in the education sector, especially as online education becomes mainstream.
