ABSTRACT
This chapter reflects on the global revolution in education due to Artificial Intelligence (AI). The objective of this chapter is to provide an overview of the educational uses of AI. Two decades ago, no one had heard about Google, Zoom, Facebook, Instagram, Twitter, YouTube, and so on. Today they are the most widely used digital tools on the planet. As new forms of technology continue to pervade our lives and captivate our youth, schools have no choice but to make room for them. At the same time, and in line with 21st-century visions, countries expect their teachers and students to behave as informed and responsible digital citizens. There is a need for educators as well as young people to be equipped with the tools they’ll need to build tomorrow’s society. Machine learning (a major part of AI technology) allows expert systems to unlock faculties such as reasoning, perception, problem-solving, planning and more. Students and teachers are using AI every time they fire up a smart phone app or web browser, which leads to improved learning processes. AI can be used to stimulate both students and teachers alike.
