Summarized by Mary McCann

Artificial Intelligence is a growing topic, and one of the most recent areas in which it has become discussed in in the classroom. Artificial Intelligence in the classroom can be used to modify learning for individual students. Artificial intelligence works off of algorithms, and can track when students become bored or disinterested, or when they do not follow the lecture. AI programs can then provide tailored instruction to each individual student based on their needs. By collecting data about trends and multiple students performances, AI can also predict how students will do in the future. AI can also judge the effectiveness of teaching curriculum and suggest adjustments and changes. Although current research in Artificial Intelligence in the classroom is mostly restricted to higher education now, it won’t be long before it makes its way into K-12 education.
