“The impact of artificial intelligence and machine learning on the future education system as apps, mobile phones and laptops have become integral parts of our lives. Students and faculty members have been affected by these technologies for years and their lives are already similar to those of students. AI systems are driven by logic, as they initially had limited data usage. The scientific approach to handling data is known as basic data science, where AI mission learning is integrated,” stated Dr Siddhartha Ghosh, Director, NMIMS Hyderabad. “However, with the advent of mobile phones, the internet and personal computation, there has been a massive collection of data, which is essential for basic intelligence,” he added.
Ghosh believes that AI will affect several areas of education system; personal learning will become possible through personalised learning mechanisms and intelligent tutorials. Many companies and online education systems already use AI technology, making learning more personalised and efficient. “Analytic, predictive and behaviour analytics will bring significant changes to the field of education. Virtual assistance and chat boxes will be used to help students learn and interact with others,” he underlines.
Ghosh suggested that everyone should connect to the students who are having mental health concerns such as depression and anxiety to help students overcome these challenges by providing support and guidance.
