The Role of AI in Education: Opportunities and Challenges by “Sageer”

Abstract

Artificial Intelligence (AI) is changing the way we interact with technology and the way we live our lives. It has the potential to change the field of education, especially students education. 

My research paper aims to investigate
The role of AI in education, including its benefits, drawbacks, and challenges.

Introduction

Artificial Intelligence can be defined as machines that can perform tasks that humans thought through their thinking. It changes your thinking into reality. The over usage of artificial intelligence is growing at an unprecedented rate and it is rapidlychanging the aspects of human life. It is changing the way people thinks. In recent years the use of Artificial Intelligence have effectively been introduced in the field of education. Almost every student is using AI for their studies. 

Artificial intelligence is becoming an integral part of students life.  

Artificial Intelligence (AI)

The term Artificial Intelligence was first founded and used by John McCarthy in the year 1956. The integration of AI in education has the potential to
transform the way teachers are trained and to enhance the quality of teacher education. AI can play a crucial role in improving the quality of education.

The Role of Artificial Intelligence in Education:

 Students can seekthe help of AI to improve their skills and also teachers. As well as the Teacher using AI  to teach their students. AI can also enhance students’ skills by providing them with access to a lots of AI tools and resources that can help
them do their work better. For example, AI-powered assessment tools can provide many AI learning assistance. AI can also help identify knowledge gaps and provide feedback on areas where students need improvement. AI can help students reach their goals.

Opportunities

Today, every person is using AI for making their work easy, especially students. One of the most significant opportunities offered by integrating AI in education is the ability to provide personalized learning experiences for students. It has many opportuniiteis like :-

1. Helps in Personal Learning

AI can give every student lessons according to their level. For example, a weak student can get easy practice first, and a smart student can move to hard questions quickly. 

2. Saves Teacher’s Time

Teachers spend a lot of time checking homework and exams. AI can check papers, quizzes, or grammar mistakes very fast.

3. Cost-Effective

AI tools are available on the internet for free. Every student can use them for free. 

4. Easy and Fast Access

Every student has a phone nowadays. So when they need help, they ask AI tools for help. 

Challenges and Drawbacks

1. Too Much Dependence: 

Dependent on AI tools. It kills the thinking and creativity of students. This can make them lazy and less creative.

2. Fear of Job Loss

Nowadays, many people are lossing their jobs because of AI. Students have a fear of not getting a job in their field, especially in Software Engineering. 

3. Privacy Problems

This is one of the main issue. AI collects a lot of student data, like names, marks, and habits. If this data is not safe, it can be misused by hackers or companies.

4. Mistakes

AI is created by humans, so it can also have errors or bias. 

Sometimes AI may give wrong answers or treat to students unfairly.

5. Overuse of AI

If students always study with AI apps or devices, they may also get distracted by games or social media. This can reduce their focus on learning.

Conclusion

The role of AI in education is growing very fast. It gives many opportunities like personal learning, saving teacher’s time, helping disabled students, and making study easy and interesting. At the same time, it also has many challenges such as high cost, privacy problems, less human touch, and the fear that teachers may lose their jobs.

In short, AI can be a very powerful tool in education if it is used in the right way. We should not fully depend on it, but we should use it to support teachers and students. If we handle the challenges carefully, AI can make education better for everyone.
