The contribution of AI in today’s Education
Artificial Intelligence (AI) is by far one of the major innovations of humans, which has transformed different sectors across the globe. With the substantial improvement in computational power, AI has also altered the outlook of the education Industry that is evolved through the potential of this technology. Since the use of AI within the education sector has increased drastically over the years, it has also given rise to the demand for AI-driven skills, reshaping the learning experiences of students of different universities.
The entire progress towards digital learning, which has become increasingly AI-oriented, the prominent Edtech platforms are leading the changes. This highlights a notable upsurge in enrollment since acquiring decent skill sets pertaining to this technology reduces job shortages within emerging domains. This is the reason that propelled the positive attention of various academic institutes to offering specialized AI-oriented courses to meet the growing skill requirements within a multitude of fields like “Information Technology,” Space Research Organisation and so on.
Contribution of AI towards digital skill enhancement in India
India, where the technology sector contributes to the drastic improvement in “Gross Domestic Product” GDP, the education sector, by considering AI to boost the skill sets of students who are willing to learn about this technology, allows this nation to become a digital economy which ensures positive economic growth. Many Industry leaders suggest that AI is the next significant phenomenon with a substantial increase in demand across all career stages.
Many students across different parts of India tend to enrol in lucrative courses such as GenAI, Data, and Tech on UpGrad, one of the leading EdTech platforms that have become highly popular in India. In Coursera, there is a significant rise in demand for AI-driven skills, and as of 2024, AI has so far reshaped the education sector along with job markets in India. This current AI trend within the education sector could provide endless possibilities for students to get adequate job opportunities in different domains that are prevalent in the education sector and further rationally improve their potential.
How AI is Reshaping Education
The growth of the education sector has been fueled by the increased use and adoption of “Artificial Intelligence” which has also emerged as transformative dynamism reshaping conventional practices. This advancement in the domain of technology has changed the entire outlook of personalized learning experience to effective administrative procedures. The “Machine Learning” ML, which is a subset of AI that involves teaching machines to learn from the preexisting data sets, has improved their performance without being explicitly automated.
As a result, the algorithm that has been generated by AI is able to effectively analyze the learning patterns of students, which could be crucial for EdTech companies to customize their courses and offer comprehensive learning experiences. This data-driven system will identify issues and provide resources, fostering an effective learning environment for students.
Remote learning and virtual classrooms
AI is particularly relevant in recent education contexts that enable virtual classrooms and remote learning experiences. Furthermore, AI-enabled intelligent tools improve engagement, facilitate collaborative activities, and measure student performance in an effusive manner that so far creates a seamless e-learning environment and thus its power of simplifying the process of developing courses, which is yet to be attained by different EdTech companies across different parts of the globe.
As of now, AI modernizes the grading process, which has lessened the burden on tutors. Moreover, an automated grading system has the competency to analyze the overall competency of students towards learning, which helps educators focus on more complex facets of student development, which will change the entire face of today’s Education.
