Future of AI in Education.

It is time to talk about AI’s role in education now that the topic is a hot topic once more. Artificial Intelligence is the replication of human intelligence functions by machines, particularly computer systems.
It has been hypothesised that software developed through artificial general intelligence research would be capable of self-improvement if it becomes sufficiently sophisticated. Recursive self-improvement would result from the improved software being even better at improving itself. Its intelligence would drastically expand during a “intelligence explosion” and would significantly surpass that of humans.
It is expected that implementing AI in education will be advantageous to the next generation based on how students and employees use AI art tools on social media and search engines like ChatGPT. But if AI is implemented in education, what harm or good would it cause? Will it aid instructors in their work or replace them? Will it lead to future unemployment? Will it actually help pupils learn more or will it make them less capable of learning?
UAE educational institutions have already incorporated AI into their curricula and engaged qualified teachers to instruct pupils. As the nation continues to stay up with the most recent technological developments, the UAE released a guide on 30th April for government organisations to adopt artificial intelligence technology and employ it in crucial sectors, from transportation to education. The manual emphasises the advantages of generative AI’s potential as online tutors or teaching helpers in the classroom.

In 2017 His Highness Shaikh Mohammad Bin Rashid Al Maktoum, Vice-President and Prime Minister of the United Arab Emirates and Ruler of Dubai, had revealed his ideas for the Centennial 2071 project on Twitter: “Brothers and sisters, today we launched the UAE Centennial 2071 project to put in place a vision that extends to five decades and to prepare the nation for future generations.”
One of the foci of this endeavour has been education. UAE has collaborated with IT firms to integrate its digital education programmes in a number of significant schools across the nation. The population’s desire for education is being increased. To develop a long-term AI strategy, the nation has established an AI ministry. In order to incorporate technology into the educational system, the ministry has suggested adopting an AI curriculum and launching six smart platforms. Working on these platforms will be over 600 schools, 21,000 teachers, and almost 275,000 pupils.
Tutors and students in the UAE have favourable opinions on this. This benefits not only those students and educators who study and instruct AI, but it also benefits individuals in other fields who use AI. “it has helped me a lot to make presentations and I have used ChatGPT a lot to collect information for assignments” says a student from Middlesex University studying Law. AI has been said to make the tasks easier for students. “Being in the fashion designing course my tasks have been made easier by AI art tools” says another student from Canadian University.
Teachers’ jobs have also become simpler thanks to AI. Many time-consuming administrative duties in education are automated using AI. Consider assigning grades, commenting on student work, or even finding plagiarism. Natural language processing and machine learning algorithms have assisted teachers in finding trends in student performance. Artificial intelligence (AI) developments have the potential to improve education systems over time and make them more egalitarian. According to a professor who teaches AI at Middlesex University, it can hasten the long overdue reform of educational systems towards inclusive learning that would equip young people to thrive and design a better future.

Discussion has also focused on whether AI will eventually replace instructors in classrooms. Although artificial intelligence (AI) has the potential to revolutionise the education sector, several university academics and school instructors have claimed that it is doubtful that robots would totally replace teachers. Teachers contribute creativity, enthusiasm, and emotional support to the classroom, adding a personal touch that AI cannot replicate
To sum up Artificial intelligence (AI) has the potential to revolutionise education in a variety of ways, including by enhancing accessibility, personalising learning experiences, automating administrative duties, and giving both students and teachers real-time feedback. The efficient integration of AI into teaching practises, however, presents difficulties for many educational institutions.
