The Transformative Role of Artificial Intelligence in Education

Artificial intelligence (AI) has the potential to disrupt teaching and learning methodologies via its learning algorithm, which will indeed help teachers uplift students in a more personalized and responsive manner. However, there are still different schools of thought, where one group supports, and the other is strongly against its implementation. This poster, thus, delves into the multifaceted function of AI in education (AI-in-E) to answer three main questions: (1) In what ways does AI-in-E improve student outcomes and benefit teachers? (2) What are the ethical considerations of AI-in-E? and (3) What does the future of AI-in-E look like? This is achieved by searching relevant literature and conducting content analysis to understand the role of AI-in-E. The poster proposed a holistic framework to maximise the potential roles of AI-in-E with respect to student outcomes and teachers. It is revealed that AI can revolutionise teaching and learning systems from student engagement to teaching styles, including helping learners of all different styles to accurately understand course materials, following ethical considerations such as data privacy, equity, and teacher training. In the future, analytics of students’ massive data, smart content providers, tailored learning methodologies, and more could be explored for the benefit of students and teachers alike for continued and successful learning. The findings have the potential to redefine the boundaries of traditional teaching and learning methods, closing the gaps in learning, as it is clear that education is on the crossover of a transformative era due to AI.
