What is AI?
As technology continues to advance, artificial intelligence is making its way into our educational system, informing the way we absorb and convey information.
Artificial intelligence involves the intermeshing of science and engineering, with the ultimate goal of creating intelligent machines. Intelligent computer programs are used to understand the human mind, and AI leverages machines and computers to mimic human decision-making and problem-solving capabilities. AI combines robust datasets and computer science: a marriage that promotes deep learning and problem-solution comprehension. The new-age technology seeks to design and implement expert systems that can comprehend and make predictions based on the relevant inputted data.
AI in Education
Artificial intelligence is now implemented within the educational field to address some of today’s biggest challenges. This new, innovative approach to teaching and learning accelerates real-world problem-solving, which ultimately prepares students for the next level in education. This in turn best prepares students for their budding careers, helping them land higher-ranking positions with better pay and benefits. Each generation of students has their own path when it comes to applying to colleges and following their dream careers, and today’s society will rely increasingly on AI as it develops and expands.
