Predicting the Future is not Magic, it is Artificial Intelligence (AI)
Artificial intelligence is the ability of computers or computer-controlled programs to think and act like humans. It completely changed the way we used to work earlier.
“According to research AI is expected to be a US$ 60 Billion market by 2025 and the global GDP is expected to grow by US$ 15.7 trillion by 2030 because of the contribution of AI.” – Education world
AI is commonly associated with performing tasks based on intelligence.
With the help of AI, humans can perform their tasks effectively, which increases the capability of a machine to think beyond and make future predictions for its growth.

Artificial Intelligence has already penetrated our lives in many ways and its best example is Siri and Alexa
Artificial Intelligence in Education System
Including Artificial intelligence in the education system is a boom. It provides help to teachers and students in various ways that help both to take decisions effectively for the growth and development of each other.
Digital Content that assists teachers – Being a human it is difficult for a teacher to anticipate a student’s dilemma. Sometimes they are not sure whether the study material or the lecture they provide is adequate for a student to clear their concept.
This is where Artificial intelligence plays a crucial role. AI helps teachers in observing the productivity of the children and lets you know whether the child needs more support. It uses the information of each student stored in the system and on the basis of that, it guides teachers or instructors to customize/design the task and assignments that can be useful for the child to improve skills and learning capacity.
AI recommends teachers choose from various tools and modules that are available online and helps them to decide which courses are useful for each student.
Personalize learning– The importance of a teacher in a student’s life will never fade but with the teacher’s guidance AI tools can help to shape the future of a student.
AI enables students to focus on parts of their role that adds the most value. It removes the gap of knowledge.
Artificial intelligence based on available information is able to detect students’ qualities and shortcomings. It suggests various online courses that are accessible free online which gives speedy feedback in order for a student to know their progress.
AI increases students’ ability to reason, self-correction, and learning. It is the automation of routine tasks that helps teachers and students to keep a check on their growth and development.
Grading– Artificial intelligence Technology is being used widely in the education system which has proven to be effective in grading students in no time.
In the case of subjective answers, there are multiple answers to a question. In this case, AI helps teachers in grading by defining the metrics of an answer and suggests they give marks on the basis of these metrics. AI software along with teachers grades students so that no bias is done.
Detect drop-out rate – School dropout is one of the major concerns, both for students or institutions. AI helps in the early prediction of the dropout for a freshman by adopting a data-driven approach.
Through an automated learning process, a model is developed which is capable of capturing information concerning the particular context in which dropout takes place.
