A Gateway of Personalized Learning
The curriculum is unable to cater to the 100% efficiencies to all the pupils. In fact, it is lying in the mid of
70 – 80% ratio. The rest 10% of the pupil will be unable to uplift themselves
due to a lack of sound system. But, AI has the ability to learn and adapt the
human behaviors and augment your system in an enhanced way. Now, teachers are
able to give personalized recommendations to each pupil. In this way, AI has ensured
each pupil will get the best assistance like class assignments, mid-term
examinations and final examinations. AI-powered apps have really paved the way
to give the targeted and customized responses to the students. Some of the AI
technology is in the inception stage, but once it will take the shape of a full-fledged
the system, the idea of digital teachers will soon be a reality.

Enhanced Access of Voice Assistants
Gone are the days when students got printed materials for
assignments or various web-links to explore and to nail down. The voice
assistants like Apple Siri, Google Home, Amazon Alexa, and Microsoft Cortana,
are on the surging demand in the education sector. This will certainly ease the
teachers to give various kinds of tasks on voice assistants. Recently, Arizona State University has introduced Amazon Alexa for their freshmen for various campus needs. They are competent
enough to give a customized answer to an individual student. This will greatly
lessen the burden of printing of bulky college handbooks for various needs.

A Shift from Traditional Job Market
The education sector will need expert personnel to implement
AI technologies in various schools, colleges, and universities. Soon, many
organizational and administrative tasks will be replaced by AI-empowered
technology. According to PwC, 7.2million new jobs will be generated by 2037. Hybrid teams will emerge as the pioneer job market where human
and AI capabilities will be assimilated to give a hybrid outcome. Here, AI
strengths like accuracy, speed, and computation will be merged with human
strengths like cognition, empathy, and judgment to give an enhanced hybrid
outcome. Big data is the primary need of AI technology before implementing it in
any sector. Henceforth, big data scientists are in high demand when AI will be
implemented in every sector.
