Emergence of AI in Education: Technological and Pedagogical Aspects

1. What Technological and pedagogical are behind the emergence of AI in
education?
The intelligence demonstrated by machines refers as Artificial Intelligence. The concept of
AI was emerged simultaneously with the emergence of programmable digital computer
during Dartmouth conference in 1956 (Wenger, 2014). The core concept of the technology
has emerged from theories in Psychology, Cognitive Science, and Logic and so on. Several
technological and pedagogical has played major role in rapid emergence of AI such as
Machine Learning Algorithms, Natural Language generation (NLG) , Robotic Process
Automation(RPA), Virtual Agents, Speech Recognition and many more.
In education AI is gaining popularity any technical giant such as IBM, Microsoft, Apple,
Google are working toward future education technology, the uses of internet, Smartphone,
leaning apps, advance search engine are already used by many learners for their study
purpose . Digital study materials, advance graphic and multimedia learning tools are major
components behinds emergence of AI in education (Roll & Wylie, 2016). There is a constant
effort towards creating mentors for every leaner.
2. How is AIED being implemented, what benefits are being realised?
There is a huge potential of AI in education. AIED is an interactive methods which uses
sophisticate algorithm to coordinate the interaction with the students that deliver educational
resources and learning activities to deal with the distinctive needs of each learner (Pinkwart,
2016). The implementation of AI in education can be done by using internet in distance
learning, Adaptive learning Game Design) ALGAE, multimedia instructional model and
many more tools (Walker & Ogan).
Potential benefits by implementation of AI in Education are:
Automated Grading: AI system has developed ability to generate automate grading of
multiple choice material , it is most likely that in future the technology will able to grade
various standardized assessments.
Teacher and Students Support: Various routine task can be managed by AI that facilitate
teacher to connect with students very smartly, at the same time AI companion Students able
to know their personal history regarding teaching (Pinkwart, 2016).
