Talking about the genesis of Artificial Intelligence (A.I.), there are many speculations of the people around the globe but the foundation of this eye-opening component of technology was pioneered in the mid 20th century by the British Logician and computer pioneer Alan Mathison Turing. Even though, an American Scientist John McCarthy is considered as the father of Artificial Intelligence as it is considered by many to be the first artificial intelligence program which was presented at the Dartmouth Summer Research Project on Artificial Intelligence (DSRPA) hosted by John McCarthy and Marvin Minsky.
As artificial intelligence has become a sensation in the current time, thanks to increased data volumes, advanced algorithms and improvised computing power along with the storage. Alexa and Siri are applications powered by AI which rely on natural language processing and machine learning. Beside these two applications based on artificial intelligence the learning platform in the immediate present has been served abundantly.
The educational transformation claims in recent days is a topic of debate which highlights the revolution, both at the level of compulsory schooling and higher education. As the technological companies cherish the education transformation through AI some of the features of artificial intelligence have been stated which can create impact on the education field.
Efficient and productive learning environment
Enhancement or qualitative learning can be achieved only if the learning environment is interactive or personalized, which has been the desired goal of almost all EdTech developments since the first teaching machines were introduced. AI emphasizes the implicit learning models to be more behaviorist rather than constructivist. The use of multimedia, simulations and serious games AI can enable powerful learning. Virtual Reality systems, coupled with instructionally designed algorithms, can create realistic situations that test students' ability to apply their learning.
Accuracy and fairness in assessment
Adaptive assessments use AI algorithms to analyze student responses in real time, adjust question difficulty and content, and identify strengths, weaknesses, and knowledge gaps. These systems, like Adaptemy and Assess AI, enable adaptive learning from feedback, providing a precise evaluation of each student's knowledge and skills.
24×7 Teaching Assistants
Various chatbots and learning models can be created using these AI technologies to tutor and support learning across a range of courses for a very specific course which will support students by answering questions, suggesting appropriate learning activities, assessing progress or drawing attention to learning deficits based on the results of assessment.
Multilingual and project based learning
As the new AI tools enable instant translation in over 140 languages that enhances the community complexity of language understanding and learning. Researchers are also working on capturing dying Indigenous languages and
creating powerful resources for translation to make the process more efficient and versatile.
Project-based learning (PBL) is an educational approach that encourages students to design, develop, and construct hands-on solutions to complex problems, often in small teams. And to make this whole cycle elementary AI can play a key role in the modern day computing and education which include the Edutainment.
However, every aspect of this earth has two way impacts so it's better to stick to the positive side of this component of technology rather than exploit it.
