Possible benefits of use Artificial Intelligence in education

Over the last few years, attempts have been made to introduce modern technologies into education,
including through the introduction of digital textbooks, iPad schools in the Netherlands and closed
tablet systems in the United States. However, the potential of artificial intelligence in education has
not yet been fully exploited.

Each student is different - they have different abilities, motivations, problems and learning styles.
The problem of today's education is that the education system is not adapted to this diversity and
often the potential of students is not used. Teachers who have limited class time are not able to
personalize the learning process of every student in their class, so AI algorithms will be very helpful
here.

Artificial intelligence can provide a better learning experience by adapting learning to each student's
needs and ensuring universal access to students. It can also automate grading systems and provide
additional support for students, depending on their needs.
Thanks to recent developments in the field of artificial intelligence, computers are able to perform
complex tasks and their algorithm is developed through self-teaching. In education, the system is not
able to replace the teacher, but it can improve their skills in the educational process.

Let us see how we can apply Artificial Intelligence in education, how Artificial Intelligence can
improve the education process and what benefits will be gained by students and teachers who use it.

Algorithms personalising the learning process - These algorithms are used in many e-learning
platforms and educational services. Teaching personalisation modules allow us to match educational
materials to our interests, profile, format or previous training history. What is more, the algorithms
are capable of analysing competence gaps and recommending actions to fill them.

Education anytime and anywhere - Students increasingly carry out their tasks using their
smartphones. Applications based on Artificial Intelligence allow learning in their free time. In
addition, thanks to some applications, students can get real-time feedback.

Virtual mentors – Virtual mentors have the ability to track students' progress in real time.
