| | JUNE - 20218IN MY OPINIONARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE TECHNOLOGIES REVOLUTIONIZE THE EDUCATION SECTOR GLOBALLYBy Dr. Vijayan K. Asari, Professor in Electrical and Computer Engineering, Ohio Research Scholars Endowed Chair in Wide Area Surveillance, Director, Vision Lab, University of Dayton Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies-based systems enabled through machine learning mimic the structural and behavioral characteristics of human brain. They will be able to perform better than humans in specific tasks for which they are trained. The recent surge of AI technologies empowers the concept of personalized learning in education sector. AI technology can help in the design of customized learning strategies for each student. Individual training materials can be created considering the preferred mode of perception instigated by the student's capability, prior experience and personal preferences. AI can help to update the contents of the lessons and customize them for people with different learning curves. Personalized education can be developed as a universal solution that is adaptively tailored to specific needs of learners and educators.AI technology can enable a machine to read the expression on a student's face that indicates the level of understanding in a subject. It can the nassist to modify the mode of delivery of lessons to respond to that state of mind. AI with machine learning can identify patterns of facial and body dynamics more precisely than a human eye could handle. It will automatically determine which student understands the materials and which one needs additional assistance. AI systems can eliminate the gap between the lectures and course materials if the students are found to be confused about certain concepts. It can provide appropriate explanations capturing the psychological perspectives of the students enabling everyone to build the same conceptual foundation.AI powered educational support systems can create a facility for adaptive learning through autonomously generated personal conversations employing voice assistants. All the students will be able to learn at their own pace at any time even in non-educational environments. AI can tune the teaching criteria in synchronization with the emotional states of the students and plan for delivering lectures by citing inspiring contexts. AI supported voice assistance can be employed for guiding the students through the right path while studying their lessons or doing experiments in a laboratory environment. AI systems can report any attention deviation of the students while they are engaged in learning. This would be a great support for keeping the students focused on their topics.AI systems can be employed as effective substitute for real-world tutoring. Students will be able to learn from anywhere in the world at any time. These systems respond to the personal needs of the students emphasizing at the specific topics of interests. It will recapitulate things in such a way that the students will get special attention by providing individualized examples. AI can provide a personal approach that helps students feel special and increases their engagement which could raise their interest in studies.Innovative AI technologies can be adopted to create new methods of interacting with students having learning disabilities. AI can assist in developing effective education tools
