ABSTRACT
Artificial Intelligence in Education (AIEd) is an established interdisciplinary field of research with focus on deploying artificial intelligence (AI) algorithms to transform education. There has been a growing interest in harnessing the power of AIEd to solve educational challenges in science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM). This opening chapter focuses broadly on state-of-the-art knowledge and cutting-edge innovations in the area of AIEd. We discuss the transformation of AI in STEM through the prism of three AIEd paradigm frameworks. These frameworks are known as AI-directed STEM education, AI-supported STEM education, and AI-empowered STEM education. We clarify the design and application of AI in STEM education using these paradigms. Advantages, disadvantages, and future trends of AI applications in STEM education are highlighted.
