AI In Education: A Matrix
Abstract
During the 21st century, Artificial Intelligence (AI) has rapidly occurred as a noteworthy technology, bringing far-reaching and transformative applications in education, and has become a decisive focus for educators, researchers, and policymakers. This article begins with a conceptual introduction to the technology, attempting to establish a clear understanding of its nature and functionality in the context of teaching and learning. Generally, the definition of AI is the imitation of human cognitive processes by automated devices. The educational applications of AI focus on a variety of specific areas, including adaptive learning, machine learning, intelligent tutoring systems. With the rapid and enormous advancements in technology, AI has quickly become widely used worldwide in many areas. Education has also been thoroughly and profoundly affected by the evolving AI. In this paper, the objective is to present the readers a look at the current literature on how AI is used in educational contexts. Various aspects of AI, including main opportunities and challenges, have been presented.
