Future of Artificial Intelligence and Machine learning: Field of Education

From authors of science fiction, to movie makers and futurists -- everyone has been making amazing, albeit catastrophic at times, predictions about the widespread of artificial intelligence. AI so far, has quietly pervaded various aspects of our everyday lives without causing any disaster. Whether it is the smart sensors that help click perfect pictures or automatic features in our cars and sometimes the annoying assistants on our smartphones, we are consumed by artificial intelligence of one kind or another.

AI has proved to be a game changer across an increasing number of fields; it has now entered the domain of education to transform the learning processes of mankind. Artificial learning constitutes devices designed to be predisposed to a very high level of Intelligence. Machine Learning is the pushing force that drives the development of Artificial Intelligence.  The two concepts go hand-in-hand and together can change the world we live in forever.

 

Artificial Intelligence and Machine Learning have a plethora of offerings to the world. With the ability to automate customary actions and offer creative insights, all sectors ranging from Education and Healthcare to Banking and Manufacturing have started to garner these benefits of Artificial Intelligence and Machine Learning.

 

The future of AI & ML is deeply rooted and represented by the development of Human like Artificial Intelligence by technologists.  In the field of Education, Artificial Intelligence has been slowly but surely gaining momentum. Here are a few examples of how AI and its derivatives are now finding their way into the classroom, and beyond.

 

Cyborg-technology is a means of augmenting oneself to enhance inane natural abilities possessed by humans. Exploring and integrating this aspect of AI & ML can go a long way in improving efficiency in the field of learning. It is sure to enhance agility and accuracy thereby increasing the chances of Einstein’s and Newton’s popping up straight out of school.

 

Virtual mentors for students, is another extraordinary feature of AI that we could witness in the future.   Virtual mentoring can create a breakthrough in the field of student psychology by eliminating possibilities of bias, and by better assessing and solving learning disabilities, personal complexes and so on.

 

AI & ML may in the future create global platform for learning, wherein students from across the globe have access to a single classroom atmosphere. This could also help improve targeted learning, learning among similar minds and career-centric learning as well.

 

The future of AI induced Education is also characterized by features of Automated Grading. Full-scale automated grading from the grass root level will help unburden teachers of this tedious task of grading and focus more on teaching, student relations and personal growth. Grading of this sort may also help avoid flaws and re-evaluations thereafter.

 

Education Software may be modified and adapted to the needs of individual students through Artificial Intelligence and Machine Learning. Focus on required topics, pace controlled learning, pictorial and practical learning constitute some of the sub divisions of Adaptable Education Software.  This form of custom tailored learning could be the solution to helping students with learning disabilities.

 

AI cannot just help teachers craft courses, customized to the needs of their students. It can also provide essential feedback to teachers that can aid in monitoring progress of their students and identify those who need further assistance. Such AI systems allow learners to get the support they need and faculty, to note areas of improvement in course delivery.
Gamification, a word coined to define the means of teaching-learning that involves the use of games. This method of learning will be a lot more motivating for students and is a great escape from the clutches of traditional teaching and learning.

 

AI systems are affecting the information we find and use, every day. Google customizes results to users based on location, previous purchase tailor the recommendations we see on Amazon and almost all the ads we see on web are based on our interests and shopping preferences. These types of intelligent systems play an important role in how we interact with information in our lives, both personal and professional. AI-ML is geared to change how information is found and used in academia as well. Newer, more integrated technology will drastically transform learners' experiences of doing research and looking up facts.

 

The future of artificial intelligence and machine learning is sure to rock the present-day learning to its very core. It seems like we will have the opportunity to turn education into anything we can imagine.
