ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE FOR EDUCATION
K.M.Medetova (PhD student, TUIT named after Muhammad al-Khwarizmi)
Artificial intelligence (AI) refers to the simulation of human intelligence in
machines that are programmed to think like humans and mimic their actions. The
term may also be applied to any machine that exhibits traits associated with a human
mind such as learning and problem-solving. Artificial intelligence (AI), the ability of
a digital computer or computer-controlled robot to perform tasks commonly
associated with intelligent beings. The term is frequently applied to the project of
developing systems endowed with the intellectual processes characteristic of humans,
such as the ability to reason, discover meaning, generalize, or learn from past
experience. Since the development of the digital computer in the 1940s, it has been
demonstrated that computers can be programmed to carry out very complex tasks—
as, for example, discovering proofs for mathematical theorems or playing chess—
with great proficiency. Still, despite continuing advances in computer processing
speed and memory capacity, there are as yet no programs that can match human
flexibility over wider domains or in tasks requiring much everyday knowledge. On
the other hand, some programs have attained the performance levels of human
experts and professionals in performing certain specific tasks, so that artificial
intelligence in this limited sense is found in applications as diverse as medical
diagnosis, computer search engines, and voice or handwriting recognition.
Global adoption of technology in education is transforming the way we teach
and learn. Artificial Intelligence is one of the disruptive techniques to customize the
experience of different learning groups, teachers, and tutors[1].

This is how Artificial Intelligence tools may be applied to improve study
processes:
1. Personalize education
Artificial Intelligence helps find out what a student does and does not know,
building a personalized study schedule for each learner considering the knowledge
gaps. In such a way, AI tailors studies according to student’s specific needs,
increasing their efficiency.
2. Produce smart content
-Digital lessons - learning interfaces with customization options, digital
textbooks, study guides, bite-sized lessons, and much more can be generated with the
help of AI.
-Information visualization - new ways of perceiving information, such as
visualization, simulation, web-based study environments, can be powered by AI.
-Learning content updates - besides, AI helps generate and update the content of
the lessons, keeping the information up to date and customizing it for different
learning curves.
3. Contribute to task automation
Administrative tasks simplification: grading, assessing, and replying to students
is a time-consuming activity that could be optimized by the teacher using AI.
4. Do tutoring
Continuously evolving personal study programs take into account student’s gaps
to fill during individual lessons. Personal tutoring and support for the students outside
of the classroom help learners keep up with the course and keep their parents from
struggling to explain algebra to their kids. AI tutors are great time-savers for the
teachers, as they do not need to spend extra time explaining challenging topics to
students. With AI-powered chatbots or AI virtual personal assistants, students can
avoid being embarrassed by asking for additional help in front of their friends[2].
Below are the main benefits of using AI for students.

Better
Engagement
Individualized schedules, custom tasks, interaction with digital
technologies, and personal recommendations are part of the
personal approach each student gets using AI. Besides, a
personal approach helps students feel special, increasing their
engagement and raising interest in studies in such a way
24/7 Access
to learning
With AI helpers based online, students always have access to
learning. They are free to plan their day without being linked to
a specific place. They can study on the go, at any place and time
they want. They can build their schedule based on their most
productive hours
Less pressure Lessons tailored to the needs of different learning groups allow
students to stop comparing them to each other. Earlier, a student
157
should have asked a teacher for help in front of the class. Now,
it’s enough to type a query using a personal virtual assistant and
get an instant explanation
These opportunities offered by AI tools make personal progress come to the
fore, reducing the pressure in the auditory. Less pressure means less stress and more
enthusiasm to study.
Artificial Intelligence (AI) has always been a big topic of discussion. The
knowledge of AI, as we know, predominantly comes from sci-fi films and books. The
machine intelligence phenomenon has already begun its integration with every sector,
including the education system. Educationalists anticipate the role of Artificial
Intelligence, in the education sector, to increase dramatically in the next few years.
Not only does AI have the capacity to transform the existing automated
management systems, which automate administrative operations at the institution
level, but it also has the ability to transform the conventional teaching and learning
methods technologically. It does this by seamlessly integrating with eLearning tech
and online Learning Management Systems (LMS), to introduce educational
technology, such as Virtual and Augmented Reality in classrooms, which provide
real-time teaching and learning experiences to students as well as teachers.
The development of new AI systems and skilful modification of existing
computational architectures using state-of-the-art development approaches requires
substantially more effort. In general, graduate-level theoretical knowledge, support
from competent peers or experts, and access to open source tools and commercial
hardware platforms provided by the leading AI firms is necessary. Many universities
have expanded their educational offers at this level of competence. Due to the high
visibility and economic attractiveness of AI, the number of competent people at this
level is increasing very rapidly. In particular, existing education in statistics, mathe-
matics, computer science and physics can relatively easily be converted to AI-
specific skills at this level. The one section of individuals, who benefit extremely by
adopting AI technology is the academic management personnel (teachers/faculty/tea-
ching staff.) The AI’s ability to auto-grade papers, auto-evaluate assignments, assign
homework, and many more, make it a perfect tool for educators to simplify their job
enormously. It enhances personalized and individualized learning by seamlessly
integrating with LMS to share study materials, navigate through lesson content,
create and view educational videos, presentations, illustration artwork, images, audio
lessons, etc. And, at the same time, it allows students to attend tests and exams online
on smartphones, tablets, computers, and various other electronic devices.
Moreover, AI innovation encourages eLearning, in order to enhance personali-
zed, blended, competency-based, and differentiated learning methods by making,
utilizing and overseeing proper technological procedures and assets in teaching.
Additionally, AI in education incorporates different frameworks and tools that
158
emphasize structure, improvement, research and development, administration, and
assessment of procedures to ease teaching and learning[3].
To conclude, it is the apparent fear that human educators can or will be replaced
by AI technologies in the coming decade. As AI advances in education and training,
it seems there is more evidence to support the idea that both intelligent systems and
humans are needed to manage different aspects of learners’ academic and social
competencies. In our definition, artificial intelligence in education involves
automated transposition between meaning and number that can measure knowledge
and support learning.
