Introduction
Due to the emerging technology that is being integrated into classrooms around the globe,
a “cutting edge” media that instantly came to mind is Artificial Intelligence (AI) programs. A
classroom setting. Students can learn in new ways, as well as teachers practicing new teaching
strategies. As a resource in the classroom, AI can provide students with personalized learning,
Benefits
One of the key benefits of incorporating AI into the classroom is the ability to provide
students with a more personalized learning experience. AI algorithms can analyze student data
and adapt to their learning styles, providing feedback and recommendations that are tailored to
their individual needs and abilities. This can help to keep students engaged and motivated and
can lead to improved academic performance (Melo, 2023). With some of the AI-powered
educational tools on the market currently, systems can consolidate all student data across various
media platforms. In return, AI algorithms can personalize feedback and recommendations that
cater to individual learning styles. As a result, students are more motivated and engaged, leading
Not only can AI help students in a typical self-contained classroom, but this is cutting
edge technology for special education classrooms as well. AI can provide students of all abilities
with adaptive learning technologies that adjust the pace, difficulty, and content of lessons in
and natural language processing software can help students with language-based disabilities,
Additionally, AI can assist with physical disabilities by providing adaptive technology such as
eye-tracking software or specialized input devices (Zdravkova et al., 2022). By using AI,
students with severe disabilities can have greater access to education and a more inclusive
learning experience. Educators can provide students with the support and resources they need to
Challenge
Although the benefits of Artificial Intelligence are plentiful, there are challenges which
are halting many school districts from implementing AI in classrooms. The cost of these
programs remains on the top of the list of the many challenges. The cost of developing and
implementing AI-powered educational tools can be a significant barrier for schools and teachers.
Since there are many different AI-powered educational tools, it is hard to pinpoint an exact cost
that schools should expect to pay for these services. Edtech companies should work to make AI
technology accessible to a broader range of schools and teachers and explore alternative funding
options, such as grants or partnerships, to help offset the costs (Shonubi, 2023).
