POORNIMA BAL
 WHAT IS ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE?

 Artificial Intelligence is composed of two

words Artificial and Intelligence, where Artificial
defines "man-made," and intelligence defines "thinking
power", hence AI means "a man-made thinking power.“
 Artificial Intelligence exists when a machine can have
human based skills such as learning, reasoning, and
solving problems
 With Artificial Intelligence you do not need to
preprogram a machine to do some work, despite that you
can create a machine with programmed algorithms
which can work with own intelligence, and that is the
awesomeness of AI. 2
 WHAT IS ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE?

 In today's world, technology is growing very fast, and we

are getting in touch with different new technologies day by
day.
 Here, one of the booming technologies of computer science
is Artificial Intelligence which is ready to create a new
revolution in the world by making intelligent machines.
The Artificial Intelligence is now all around us. It is
currently working with a variety of subfields, ranging from
general to specific, such as self-driving cars, playing chess,
proving theorems, playing music, Painting, etc.
 AI is one of the fascinating and universal fields of
Computer science which has a great scope in future. AI 3
holds a tendency to cause a machine to work as a human.
 WHAT IS ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE?

 Artificial intelligence (AI) is now a part of our lives

whether we know it or not, and whether we accept it or
not. It has risen to such a status over the years in a slow
but steady manner

 Everything that we do like buying clothes and shoes on

the internet as well as watching shows on TV is
influenced to various extents by AI.  However, the
question that needs to be asked in this context is what
effect would this have on education?

4
 WHY ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE?

 With the help of AI, you can create such software or

devices which can solve real-world problems very easily
and with accuracy such as health issues, marketing,
traffic issues, etc.
 With the help of AI, you can create your personal virtual
Assistant, such as Cortana, Google Assistant, Siri, etc.
 With the help of AI, you can build such Robots which
can work in an environment where survival of humans
can be at risk.
 AI opens a path for other new technologies, new devices,
and new Opportunities.
5
 GOALS OF ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE

 Replicate human intelligence

 Solve Knowledge-intensive tasks

 An intelligent connection of perception and action

 Building a machine which can perform tasks that

requires human intelligence such as:
 Proving a theorem
 Playing chess
 Plan some surgical operation
 Driving a car in traffic

 Creating some system which can exhibit intelligent

behavior, learn new things by itself, demonstrate, 6
explain, and can advise to its user.
 WHAT COMPRISES TO ARTIFICIAL
INTELLIGENCE?
 Artificial Intelligence is not just a part of computer science even it's
so vast and requires lots of other factors which can contribute to it. To
create the AI first we should know that how intelligence is composed,
so the Intelligence is an intangible part of our brain which is a
combination of Reasoning, learning, problem-solving perception,
language understanding, etc.
 To achieve the above factors for a machine or software Artificial
Intelligence requires the following discipline:
 Mathematics

 Biology

 Psychology

 Sociology

 Computer Science

 Neurons Study
7
 Statistics

 AI IN EDUCATION

  Artificial Intelligence enhances the quality of education.

Over the last decade, there are several challenges of
learning, including language processing, reasoning,
planning, and cognitive modeling have been addressed
by the artificial intelligence applications. In fact, both
education and Artificial Intelligence have been made for
each other. Whereas, education is a means to develop
minds capable of leveraging the knowledge pool, while
Artificial Intelligence provides tools for developing a
more accurate and detailed picture of how everything
works.

 AI IN EDUCATION

  There are many advantages that artificial intelligence provide like

tutoring, grading, any personalization in education, feedback on course
quality, immediate feedback to students, etc., and a few previous
examples really prove it such as :

 Smart content creation, from digitized guides of textbooks to

customizable learning digital interfaces, are being introduced at all
levels. The ultimate goal of ‘Artificial Intelligence’ is also said to be a
virtual facilitator for the learning environments. It is to create virtual
human-like characters who can think, act, react, and interact in a natural
way, responding to and using both verbal and nonverbal communication.
It also aims to pave the way for new learning pathways in the coming
years. Because education is a domain largely handled by human-to-
human interaction. However, integration of AI has been slower to
develop the necessary human-like attributes of responsiveness, 13
adaptability, and understanding.

 BENEFITS OF AI IN EDUCATION

Creating a Global Classroom

 With AI it would be possible for schools to create global

classrooms, as it were. From now on it would no longer
matter as to where a student is. If she or he is unable to
attend a class due to some reason or the other all she or
he would need to do is visit a link, click on it, and the
student can join the live classroom. Similarly, thanks to
this technology it would also be possible for them to
interact with their peers even if they were a thousand
miles apart from each other .
16
 BENEFITS OF AI IN EDUCATION

Making education a lot more interesting than before

 Things such as game technology and simulation are

expected to play major roles in this regard. It can
actually make education a lot more adaptive and
intuitive. In fact, such technology can actually be used in
order to encourage students to come together and
develop knowledge themselves. This is something that
you need so badly in this day and age of short attention
span.

17
18
 BENEFITS OF AI IN EDUCATION

 AI can quickly interpret a student’s needs and design an

appropriate assessment. It can show students mastery,
repeat lessons as needed and quickly design a
personalized learning plan for each student
 AI makes it a lot easy for teachers and management to
keep track of how well or poorly the students are
performing. Such systems can be used to deal effectively
with the vast volume of the data and statistics that these
schools and colleges normally have.
 They can use these to create definite reports that help
them to understand the progress being made by various
students. 19
 BENEFITS OF AI IN EDUCATION

 Universities and educational institutions are increasingly

looking to technology to address the challenge of student
retention, who enroll in higher education but do not end
up obtaining a degree. Since they have the education mid
way, they end up not being awarded the degree they had
enrolled for.
 With the Artificial Intelligence and Machine Learning,
they are seeking a way to improve the retention refers
for higher education in countries like US and India

20
 BENEFITS OF AI IN EDUCATION

 By analyzing data from forms, educational literature,

surveys, and studies, Artificial Intelligence can detect the
key reasons behind attrition and dropouts
 This in turn, helps the institutions to plug the gap
wherever possible and improve their own University
rankings by improving the retention rates.

21
 LIMITATIONS OF AI IN EDUCATION

Information losses
 AI is a machine and a machine can break anytime. AI
keeps so much information related to lesson, material
and also subject about education to the class. If the
machine breaks and AI needs to be repaired, then all
information inside will be lost too. You need to re-input
again all information inside it so the machine will work
as usual. This is truly the disadvantage and if they need it
in the crucial time like examination and more, then what
you need to do if the machine can’t be used.

22
23
 LIMITATIONS OF AI IN EDUCATION

Unemployment
 If you make teaching activities more effective and efficient
using AI, then it can make demand for educators less
because machine can do everything so the role of teachers
inside the class is not absolute and it becomes unimportant.
The size of class has less determination factor for the
education quality. It means, AI can decrease the teachers
and also the assistants.
 Smart technology can improve the experience of education
however; this technology can’t replace the personal
interaction because machine can’t communicate students.
Interaction and personal connection is still needed and 24
students need it from their teachers
 LIMITATIONS OF AI IN EDUCATION

 As you rely on that machine more and more everyday in

the class to replace the teaching method and also to help
students doing their tasks, they become the technology
addicted. They will think they can’t do better if they
don’t use this machine and they don’t believe anymore in
their own feeling and mind. You don’t believe in your
own skill but you believe on machine’s skill.

 CONCLUSION

 Artificial intelligence (AI) has slowly but surely entered

every area of our lives, from online shopping to TV
viewing to everything. AI or Artificial Intelligence, in
other words, is the study of man-made computational
devices and systems. Today, AI has been a hot topic
everywhere and is making its way into education.
However, some say it will take over education to the
impairment of students, whereas others indicate that AI
will revolutionize and improve educations.
 There are many advantages that artificial intelligence
provide like tutoring, grading, any personalization in
education, feedback on course quality, immediate 26
feedback to students.
