I. INTRODUCTION
What is Education 4.0?
Technology began to penetrate the educational process in the new millennium, and both
students and teachers began to use technology in fundamental ways (otherwise known as
Education 2.0). Education 3.0 emerged as technology advanced, especially the widespread
adoption of a more user-generated internet. This enabled students to access their own
information sources, the ability to learn electronically and platforms to communicate with
teachers and other students. Education became more networkable, with students having
their own direct link to a range of different knowledge sources, rather than being
concentrated on a back-and-forth between students and teachers.
Education 4.0 is a technique of learning that is connected with the fourth industrial
revolution and focuses on transforming the future of education through advanced
technology and automation. Smart technology, artificial intelligence and robotics are part
of this industrial revolution. They are all affecting our daily lives. Universities must prepare
their students for a world in which cyber-physical systems are ubiquitous across all
industries if they are to continue to produce successful graduates. This entails incorporating
technology into the curriculum, altering the learning process entirely, and leveraging
technology to enhance the university experience.

II. CURRENT INFORMATION

Individuals and societies face motivating, inspiring and potentially broad difficulties as a
result of digitization and virtualization in education. Artificial intelligence and machine
learning in education will be important drivers of growth and innovation, just like they
have been in all industries. Individuals should be able to build more comprehensive
expertise, knowledge and abilities, as well as release their innovative potential, using smart
and intelligent educational methods and resources. While AI-powered solutions have been
around for a while in the EdTech field, the industry has been sluggish to embrace them.
On the other side, the pandemic drastically altered the landscape, forcing instructors to rely
on technology for virtual instruction. AI has the potential to improve both learning and
teaching, assisting the educational industry in evolving to benefit both students and
teachers. The education system can follow businesses and mega-corporations to ensure the
advancement of learning and prepare their students for jobs roles incorporating enterprise
AI. It refers to the use of advanced machine learning and cognitive skills to uncover and
distribute organizational knowledge, data and information in a manner that closely
resembles how humans search for and analyze information.
What Implementation of Enterprise AI Means?
Enterprise AI applications can solve challenges that were previously unsolvable. Enterprise
AI applications have a plethora of uses. Organizations across practically every industry are
now deploying corporate AI solutions to solve a wide range of use cases, ranging from
predictive maintenance of industrial assets to machine learning for a wide range of tasks.
Every field is transforming with advancing technology. It is vital to adapt the educational
system to society's new development requirements; in these new circumstances, only
knowledge learned will help to the growth of Industry 4.0 and its safe development.
Employees in industries, as well as organizations, are affected by the introduction of new
technology. Due to the divergence of processes, specialized skills and human activities for
Industry 4.0 may differ depending on the industrial sector. There have been several
adjustments in terms of talents and tasks. As a result, human capital will play a large role
in the workplace, and occupations and learning will be redirected.

III. EXAMPLE ABOUT ROBOTS IN SCHOOL:

Elias - the first language teacher robot has been put into operation at a primary school in
the southern city of Tampere, Finland. The application of artificial intelligence in education
reached a new step when at the end of March 2018, Elias - the first language teacher robot
- was put into operation at a primary school in the southern city of Tampere, Finland. Elias
is a humanoid language teaching robot that runs on a mobile application platform. This is
one of four robots piloted at a primary school in Tampere. The robot is about a meter tall,
built based on the NAO Soft Bank Human Interactive Companion Robot, using software
provided by Utelias (software developer for social robots).
On this demo, Elias can communicate in English, Finnish and German. However, in the
future, "teacher" Elias has the ability to understand and speak 23 languages fluently. Elias
is equipped with intelligent software that allows it to understand students' requirements and
motivate them to learn. Besides, through class hours and interactions with students, Elias
recognizes each person's skill level to adjust lectures and questions accordingly.
To other teachers, Elias provides feedback on problems students commonly encounter. The
advantage of this smart robot is its patience in teaching. Elias does not make students feel
shy when asking questions and can dance "Gangnam Style" during breaks, contributing to
raising excitement. students' interest in learning.

"Elias is a new, open teaching model that many schools can apply. Smart robots can be
used when practicing and organizing other activities, helping to improve the quality of
learning," Teacher Ruka Kolumsarka said. In addition to Elias teaching foreign languages,
the school also pilots OVObot, a robot that teaches mathematics. OVObot is blue, about
25cm tall and shaped like a lovely owl, made by the Finnish artificial intelligence and
robotics development team.

IV. BENEFITS OF MACHINE LEARNING IN EDUCATION

Preparing Students for Evolving Industries
As cyber-physical systems become more integrated into many businesses, the skills needed
for employees will undoubtedly change. According to McKinsey Digital research, 60% of
all vocations could have at least a third of their tasks automated as a result of the fourth
industrial revolution. As a result of technology's ability to keep us linked at all times,
employment responsibilities are becoming increasingly flexible and adaptable. Education
4.0 is all about changing with the changes, and for higher education institutions, that means
figuring out what their future graduates will need.

Automating Basic Administrative Tasks

Teachers devote a significant amount of time to administrative tasks. The application of
artificial intelligence and machine learning in education can aid in the automation of
activity grading and assessment. Administrative tasks can be automated, allowing teachers
to spend more time with pupils and improving the learning experience.

Offering Personalized Education

The goal of using AI and machine learning in education is not to replace instructors but to
assist them in better understanding each student's potential and limitations.

Providing Constructive Criticism

Teachers can use AI in the classroom to help them enhance the instructions they provide
their students as well as make learning more engaging and exciting. Students benefit from
immediate feedback, since it enables them to see where they are doing wrong and how they
may improve.
Offering Access to All Pupils
Learning becomes universally accessible for all pupils when AI and machine learning is
used in the classroom. It can help students to overcome geographical hurdles to learning.

V. ADVICE FOR UNIVERSITIES

Universities must integrate their teaching and operations with technology improvements in
order to prepare future graduates for work. Education 4.0 is a method of learning that is
aligned with the fourth industrial revolution. Involving AI in the field of business and
corporate environment is changing the need an employer is searching for in the candidate.
With machine learning in education, every job prospect will be different.
Adaption of learning incorporating artificial intelligence and machine learning in education
will keep the students up to date. It highlights the importance of preparing pupils to face
and overcome problems. To stay up with the times, old educational paradigms must be
revisited with a futuristic perspective. Students should be able to master the abilities
required by rapidly changing technology, they should be guided rather than instructed, and
knowledge should be made available rather than fed to them. Both general and vocational
education should strive to prepare students to compete in the labor market.
