The Synergy of Artificial
Intelligence and Teachers in
Education
Dr. M. Arunasalam
‘The development of full artificial intelligence could spell the end
of the human race.’
- Stephen Hawking.
Introduction
Artificial intelligence and human teachers are not the only
options for education in the future. Rather, it appears to be
a potential collaboration in which each brings special talents
to the table to create a synergy. In terms of scalability,
personification and data-driven decision-making, AI opens
up new possibilities in education. It could result in more
effective, customized, and inclusive educational opportunities.
It also doesn’t lessen the importance of teachers, who play an
indispensable role in society. What it means to be a true
educator is rooted in their capacity for empathy, creativity,
quick decision-making, and inspiring and mentoring students.
The difficulty is to combine the best aspects of both worlds:
the sophisticated powers of AI with the distinctive human
traits of educators. Teachers can establish a dynamic,
captivating, and productive learning environment for every
student by achieving this balance. Thus, let’s not see instructors
as being threatened by AI. Rather, the teachers have to
2 Artificial Intelligence in Academia: Challenges and Prospect for...
welcome it as a potent instrument and collaborator in the joint
endeavor to enhance education. Teachers will continue to be
at the center of education, guiding pupils toward a world of
limitless possibilities with their skilled navigation and moral
application of AI.
Artificial Intelligence
The term “Artificial Intelligence” (AI) was coined by John
McCarthy, an American computer scientist, in 1956. McCarthy
organized the Dartmouth Conference, where the term was
officially used to describe the field of study and research that
aimed to create machines capable of intelligent behavior. John
McCarthy is considered one of the founding fathers of artificial
intelligence, and his work laid the groundwork for the
development and exploration of AI as a scientific and
technological discipline.Top of Form
Artificial Intelligence in Education
Everybody believes that education is important, and having
a good education is essential to living a successful life. Many
changes are always being made in education systems all over
the world to better serve students. These changes might range
from curriculum types to teaching methods. The world is
changing due to the burgeoning technology of artificial
intelligence, which is applied in practically every industry.
Education is one area where artificial intelligence has the
potential to significantly alter things.
3
Artificial Intelligence in Academia: Challenges and Prospect for...
The application of artificial intelligence in education is
creating novel approaches to learning and teaching in various
contexts. These days, AI is being applied by universities and
colleges in several nations. AI in education has offered
educators, parents, students, and educational institutions alike
a whole new way of viewing the field of education. AI in
education is not about humanoid robots as a teacher to
replace human teachers, but it is about using computer
intelligence to help teachers and students and making the
education system much better and effective. Many AI tools
will be available in the education system in the future,
influencing how students learn in the future. We shall talk
about the use of artificial intelligence in education in this topic.
Overview of AIED (Artificial Intelligence in
Education)
Artificial Intelligence (AI) is the process of imitating human
intelligence in a computer system to enable it to behave and
think like a person. This technique enables a computer system
to think similarly to a person. The goal of artificial intelligence
is to behave like humans. AI has many applications and uses
in a variety of fields, including education.
In the 1970s, AIED has occurred as a specialist area to
cover new technology to teaching & learning, specifically for
higher education. The main aim of AIED is to facilitate the
learners with flexible, personalized, and engaging learning
along with the basic automated task. Some popular trends in
AIED include Intelligent tutor systems, smart classroom
technologies, adaptive learning, and pedagogical
agents. Below diagram shows the relationship between all
these trends:

Applications/roles of Artificial Intelligence in Education
1. Automate basic activities in education with AI
Teachers’ time is heavily consumed by a number of tasks
in the educational system, including marking tests and
assigning homework. These assignments take a lot of time
and energy, which may be better spent engaging with
5
Artificial Intelligence in Academia: Challenges and Prospect for...
students, pointing out their mistakes, imparting new
knowledge, and many other things.
Artificial Intelligence can be used to save this time. Nearly
all forms of multiple-choice questions (MCQs) and fill-in-the-
blank questions can have their grading processes automated
with the use of artificial intelligence (AI) tools, and the ability
to assess written responses is not far behind. Though it’s
getting better every day, AI can’t yet completely replace human
grading. Teachers will have more time to fill in the gaps in
their classrooms by utilizing AI.
2. Additional support for students with AI tutor
Given that college professors have set schedules; it is
evident that they are unable to spend all of their time with
students while they are studying. However, no student is
intelligent enough to understand everything at once, thus they
require extra assistance from someone to help them
understand the study material. The AI tutors can offer this
further assistance. These days, children can get assistance from
a variety of AI-driven tutoring tools to master the
fundamentals of writing, math, and other topics. Students can
learn the basics using these AI systems, but they are not
appropriate for teaching advanced concepts in any field.
Students yet need a lecturer to help them understand such
difficult concepts. But in the future, it’s feasible that AI
3. Helpful feedback to students and teachers with AI-
driven programs
Artificial Intelligence (AI) is not only assisting students in
learning tailored courses that meet their needs, but it can also
provide feedback to professors and students regarding the
course’s success rate. These feedback-based AI systems are
presently being used by several online course providers to
analyze student progress and notify instructors of any serious
performance issues. Professors may identify areas of
instruction that need improvement and students can receive
6 Artificial Intelligence in Academia: Challenges and Prospect for...
the necessary support thanks to these AI-driven solutions.
Students who receive immediate feedback are better able to
identify areas for improvement and learn from their mistakes.
4. Finding improvement required in course with AI
It is quite difficult to identify learning gaps in the
educational system. In addition to having a limited amount of
time to educate in the classroom, teachers might not always
be aware of the conceptual gaps in their students’ knowledge.
AI-driven systems can assist the educational system in
resolving this issue. Artificial intelligence (AI)-driven
programs are already in use on Coursera and a few other
learning sites. For instance, the system notifies the teacher
when a significant portion of the student body turns in an
incorrect homework assignment, and it provides future
students with a personalized message that provides pointers
for the right answer. These kinds of programs guarantee that
every student thoroughly grasps the material and assist in
bridging any learning gaps that may arise during a course.
With artificial intelligence (AI), students receive instantaneous
system-generated responses rather than waiting for feedback
from the instructor. This helps them comprehend concepts,
learn from their mistakes, and improve their performance in
the future.
5. AI could change the role of the teacher
Teachers will always play a vital part in the educational
system, but as new technologies emerge, so too may the
demands placed on them. As mentioned in the previous
paragraphs, artificial intelligence may assist students in their
learning, grade assignments, write reports, and in certain
situations, act as a genuine tutor. AI can be used in a variety
of educational contexts. Artificial intelligence (AI) systems can
be configured to offer students’ knowledge, to act as a forum
for students to ask questions, and to supplement teachers in
delivering lessons based on course materials. In these
situations, AI may alter the facilitator role of the teacher.
7
Artificial Intelligence in Academia: Challenges and Prospect for...
6. Personalize education with AI
Artificial Intelligence in Education’s primary goal is not
to replace teachers entirely. Rather, it seeks to serve as a
supportive arm for both educators and learners. Students can
receive individualized instruction from AI systems. Each
learner can study in a method that best suits their needs and
comprehension level with individualized learning. Teachers
are able to create a customized study plan for each student by
having a thorough awareness of their needs. With artificial
intelligence (AI) advancing daily, it’s likely that machines may
be able to read students’ facial expressions during concept
learning to determine whether they’re having trouble
understanding the material and adjust their instruction
accordingly. Though such things are currently unfeasible, AI-
powered hardware and software may make them so in the
near future.
7. Generating Smart content with AI
With AI, it is possible to generate smart content in three
ways:
a. Digital Lessons: Nowadays, everything is becoming
digital, and so the education. Digital learning is being
preferred in colleges with customization options, e-
books, study guides, bite-sized lessons, and many
other things with the help of AI.
b. Information Visualization: Visualizing things rather
than listening is much more efficient to understand in
a better way and keep in mind for a long time. With
Artificial Intelligence, the study information can be
perceived in new ways of visualization, simulation,
web-based study environment.
c. Learning content Updates: Moreover, AI also helps
in preparing the content of lessons, keeping
information up to date, and make it adaptable as per
different learning curves.
8 Artificial Intelligence in Academia: Challenges and Prospect for...
8. Ensure Access to Education for Students with Special
Needs
For students with learning disabilities, such as those who
are deaf or hard of hearing, visually impaired, etc., life is full
with problems. These pupils could run into a number of
challenges when they’re learning and studying. They also
require more time and attention. There will be new methods
to engage with these pupils as cutting-edge AI technology is
used. It is possible to successfully train AI-enabled tools to
assist a group of special needs pupils.
9. Universal Access
Universal access to study materials is one of the many
educational applications of artificial intelligence in digital
learning. Every learner has a unique grasping capacity, and
they can study at any time and from any location by utilizing
universal access. Without having to wait for the tutor, students
can investigate topics whenever they wish to learn.
Additionally, students can access top-notch instruction and
resources from around the globe at their convenience without
having to leave their house.
Future of AI in Education
As per the researches, in the near future, AI in education
will step in three main ways, which are:
1. Performance personification
With day-by-day development in AI technology and
computing power, it will be possible to create personification
curricula through collecting and generalizing the information.
Various new AI solution such as “Bright space insights” helps
the instructor to track, measure, and monitor the progress of
learners, and also help them in this learning journey. It provides
a complete picture of the learning journey of a learner across
the platform.
9
Artificial Intelligence in Academia: Challenges and Prospect for...
2. Evaluation
Human bias has always remained a hindrance in the
education system and also an issue in AI tools. In future, AI
in education will find new solutions that can evaluate work
and tests exams using established criteria in order to eliminate
bias.
3. Combined Assistance
Professors/teachers in colleges usually have masters in
their field and have a degree in specific areas of development.
But the administrative work is often a frustrating attempt at
approchement with students. AI in education can solve this
problem in the future with smart classrooms with AI assistance
who can provide necessary help to the teachers to give their
best.
AI as a supportive tool in Education
Artificial intelligence (AI) can play a valuable role in
assisting education by enhancing various aspects of the
learning process. Here are several ways in which AI can be
used as a supportive tool in education:
1. Personalized Learning: AI can analyze individual
learning patterns and preferences to tailor educational
content to each student’s needs. This personalized
approach helps students learn at their own pace and
focus on areas where they need more support.
2. Adaptive Learning Platforms: AI-powered adaptive
learning platforms can adjust the difficulty of tasks
based on a student’s performance. This ensures that
students are consistently challenged at an appropriate
level, promoting continuous learning and growth.
3. Automated Grading and Feedback: AI can automate
the grading process for assignments and assessments,
providing timely and consistent feedback to students.
10 Artificial Intelligence in Academia: Challenges and Prospect for...
This not only saves time for teachers but also allows
students to receive immediate guidance on their work.
4. Virtual Tutors and Assistants: AI-driven virtual tutors
can provide additional support to students outside of
regular classroom hours. These virtual assistants can
answer questions, explain concepts, and offer guidance
on assignments.
5. Language Learning Apps: AI-powered language
learning apps can adapt to an individual’s proficiency
level, adjusting the difficulty of exercises and providing
targeted practice in areas that need improvement.
Some apps also use speech recognition technology for
language pronunciation practice.
6. Data Analytic for Student Performance:AI can analyze
large sets of data to identify patterns and trends in
student performance. This information can help
educators make data-driven decisions to improve
teaching strategies and curriculum design.
7. Interactive Educational Content: AI can enhance the
interactivity of educational content, making it more
engaging for students. This includes interactive
simulations, virtual reality experiences, and gamified
learning platforms.
8. Assistive Technology for Special Needs: AI can be
used to develop assistive technologies that support
students with special needs. For example, speech-to-
text and text-to-speech applications can assist students
with dyslexia or other learning challenges.
9. Automated Administrative Tasks: AI can streamline
administrative tasks for educators, allowing them to
focus more on teaching. This includes tasks such as
scheduling, attendance tracking, and resource
allocation.
11
Artificial Intelligence in Academia: Challenges and Prospect for...
10. Predictive Analytic for Early Intervention: By
analyzing historical data, AI can predict potential
challenges or areas where students may struggle. This
allows educators to intervene early, providing targeted
support to help students overcome obstacles.
Conclusion
Artificial intelligence is becoming more and more prevalent
in many areas of our lives every day. Artificial Intelligence
(AI) has begun to make an impact in the field of education,
enhancing the learning process and serving as a useful tool
for both teachers and students. However, not all universities
have fully embraced the use of AI in education, and it will
take time for this to change. Nonetheless, research indicates
that AI will benefit the education industry soon. Though its
true educational potential has not yet materialized, it is
revolutionizing the education sector at the moment.
Additionally, while computer-based learning can be very
beneficial, technology is unlikely to completely replace in-
person instruction in schools.

The use of digital tools and AI for interaction with students
involves the creation of online platforms for quick and easy
access to digitized materials (OERs, MOOCs), communication
with teachers, remote interaction between students, project
work, remote access to laboratory equipment and research
centres, simulations, solving organisational issues, testing,
control, etc. Modular cross-platform systems are being
developed in which students can independently choose
subjects without being tied to an educational institution and
receive access to a maximum number of services and materials
online (Dhawal, 2020). Thus, one of the key areas in the
development of remote education is massive open online
courses (MOOCs) – web-based courses with large-scale
interactive participation and open access via the Internet.
Conclusion:
In conclusion, this chapter highlights the transformative
potential of AI in reshaping teaching methodologies. While
challenges exist, the benefits of personalized, adaptive, and
efficient learning experiences are substantial. Undoubtedly,
ChatGPT and other generative AI is already pushing
educational boundaries and initiating a significant paradigm
shift in existing educational praxis. Since its introduction to
the public in 2022, educators have written extensively about
potential implications for teachers, students, and policy. Some
educators have already started testing the efficiency of
ChatGPT by integrating it in their educational activities (e.g.,
research, teaching, assessment) and found that through
automation of certain tasks and processes, ChatGPT is able to
save time for other important activities like spending more
time with students (Alshater, 2022; Terwiesch, 2023). The key
lies in a collaborative approach where educators and AI work
together to create a harmonious and effective educational
environment for the 21st century learner. As we navigate this
40 Artificial Intelligence in Academia: Challenges and Prospect for...
evolving landscape, the fusion of human expertise and artificial
intelligence holds the promise of unlocking new possibilities
in education.

Transforming Education:
Navigating the Implications of
Artificial Intelligence
Mrs. S. Amuthavalli
Introduction:
Teachers will not be replaced by technology, but teachers who do
not use technology will be replaced by those who do.
- Hari Krishna Arya
For years, experts have warned against the unanticipated
effects of general artificial intelligence (AI) on society, predicting
that by 2029 intelligent machines will be able to outsmart human
beings. According to Stephen Hawking, “once humans develop
full AI, it will take off on its own and redesign itself at an ever-
increasing rate.” Elon Musk fears that artificial intelligence may
pose a “fundamental risk to the survival of human civilization.”
If the problems of incorporating AI in manufacturing and service
operations, i.e. usingsmart machines, are smaller because ‘faults’
can be identified relatively quickly and do not have a significant
impact on society, then incorporating AI in society, particularly
in the educational process, is a high-risk venture that requires
careful planning. Mistakes in this endeavor could have
devastating and long-term effects, as the results will not be
seen for many years.
43
Artificial Intelligence in Academia: Challenges and Prospect for...
The findings that have emerged in the nexus of the
disciplines of philosophy (ethics), artificial intelligence, and
pedagogy (education) provide the scientific foundation for
these concepts and queries. The results of writers like Turing,
Bostrom, Rahwan, Kurzweil, and others will serve as the
foundation for our investigation. Furthermore, the European
AI Alliance, which the European Commission established at
the start of 2018, serves as the foundation for this concept.
The two primary documents are the Coordinated Plan on
Artificial Intelligence and Artificial Intelligence for Europe 1.
What is Artificial intelligence?
The intelligence of computers or software, as opposed to
the intellect of people or animals, is known as Artificial
Intelligence (AI). It is a field of study in computer
science which develops and studies intelligent machines. Such
machines may be called AIs.
The first significant researcher in the topic he named
“machine intelligence” was Alan Turing. The academic field
of artificial intelligence was established in 1956.The field saw
several cycles of hope, disappointment, and funding loss.
Funding and interest skyrocketed in 2012 when deep learning
outperformed all earlier AI techniques, and again in 2017 with
the introduction of the transformer architecture. As a result,
the United States dominated businesses, academic institutions,
and research facilities that spearheaded important
advancements in artificial intelligence throughout the AI spring
of the 2020s.
The many sub-fields of AI study are focused on specific
objectives and the use of certain instruments. Reasoning,
knowledge representation, planning, learning, natural
language processing, sensing, and support for robotics are
among the traditional objectives of AI study.One of the long-
term objectives of the area is general intelligence, or the
capacity to accomplish any task that a human can undertake.
Artificial Intelligence (AI) researchers have employed a diverse
44 Artificial Intelligence in Academia: Challenges and Prospect for...
array of problem-solving methodologies, including as formal
logic, artificial neural networks, search and mathematical
optimization, statistics, operations research, and economics,
to address these challenges.AI also incorporates ideas from
philosophy, linguistics, psychology, neurology, and many
other disciplines.
Artificial intelligence and learning
A long-term objective of machine learning research is to
construct an artificial system that is capable of matching or
even exceeding human intellect, a goal that now appears
unattainable. Artificial intelligence is the term for a broader
field of study with the same eventual objective. Research on
artificial intelligence (AI) focuses on creating systems that
behave somewhat intelligently and can handle challenging
tasks. These techniques frequently mimic how people solve
problems. Knowledge representation, natural language
comprehension, automatic reasoning and theorem proving,
logic programming, qualitative modelling, expert systems,
gaming, heuristic problem solving, artificial senses, robotics,
and cognitive modelling are some of the AI fields beyond
machine learning.
Algorithms for machine learning are fundamental to all
branches of AI. Learning must be incorporated almost
everywhere. The systems can learn and become more
proficient in heuristic problem solving, language
comprehension, perception, reasoning, and theorem proving,
among other areas, by employing learning approaches.
Inductive logic programming, which builds logic programs
from target relation examples, and logic programming are
closely related fields. Machine learning techniques are also
employed in qualitative modelling to create descriptions of
complicated models from real-world examples of target system
behavior. Machine learning can be used to create a knowledge
base for expert system development by using training
examples of issues that have been addressed. It is certain that
45
Artificial Intelligence in Academia: Challenges and Prospect for...
intelligent robots will need to refine their methods for
addressing problems through learning. Finally, cognitive
modelling is practically impossible without taking into account
learning algorithms.
Natural learning
People learn things their entire lives. Since we learn
something new almost every day, our knowledge is constantly
expanding, changing, and getting better. Animals are capable
of learning, just as us. The evaluative stage of a species
determines its capacity for learning. The field of educational
psychology and the psychology of learning is concerned with
the study and interpretation of natural learning. The former
looks into and evaluates learning ideas and skills. Conversely,
the latter studies how people learn and are educated and seeks
to enhance the outcomes of learning processes. A good
educational process, according to educational psychology,
depends critically on factors like motivation, fatigue, and
attention. It also carefully evaluates the relationship between
the teacher and the students and offers a variety of rewarding
and motivational techniques. While all of things are crucial
for human learning, they are not nearly as crucial for (modern)
machine learning.
Learning, intelligence, consciousness
As we’ve already established, intelligence is the capacity
to both solve issues and adapt to one’s surroundings. But
learning on its own is insufficient. A system needs certain
capacities, such enough memory, the ability to reason
(processing), the ability to perceive (input and output), etc.,
in order to be able to learn. If these skills are improperly
integrated or do not have a suitable learning process, they
are insufficient. Furthermore, some prior information is
necessary for effective learning and is inherited in living
systems. As a result of the system’s increased abilities from
learning, its intelligence likewise grows.
46 Artificial Intelligence in Academia: Challenges and Prospect for...
The amount of intelligence
Because we must take into account a variety of intelligences
(abilities), including numerical, textual, semantic, visual,
spatial, motor, memory, perceptual, inductive, and deductive,
systems cannot be rigidly ranked according to the quantity of
intelligence. Even emotional intelligence has gained
widespread recognition recently. Over a hundred different
forms of human intelligence are described by some authors.
Both human and computer systems can exhibit superior
intelligence in certain domains and inferior intelligence in
others. When we talk about artificial intelligence, we don’t
anticipate an intelligent system to be exceptionally proficient
in a single, limited area of intelligence, such memory size,
calculation speed, space search speed, or (almost ideal) game
playing. In every one of these areas, modern computers are
already rather sophisticated. We anticipate that an intelligent
system will be (at least partially) intelligent in any domain
where human problem solving is prevalent. In order to be
able to move between different types of intelligence correctly
during issue solving, it appears that we need to integrate all
of the different types of intelligence into a single sensible whole
(a sort of supervisory system). However, the majority of ideas
pertaining to artificial intelligence fail to take consciousness
into account, even though it seems like a reasonable candidate
for the supervisory system.

Advantages of Artificial Intelligence in Education
These days, people are capable of incredible feats thanks
to everyday technological advancements. Artificial intelligence
(AI) is one such development that allows for personalized
learning by providing intelligent information on your digital
devices at the exact moment you need it. Let’s focus on the
benefits that artificial intelligence offers the education industry.
Organized Information
Beyond the applications of AI in education, there are many
other benefits for students of artificial intelligence. Teachers
and educators throughout the world have been using these
intelligent devices’ exceptional skills—like their ability to
continuously feed knowledge from a range of sources—to
improve student performance. Artificial intelligence (AI)
systems are also being employed in classrooms worldwide
more and more because of their ability to absorb information
thoroughly, which helps students learn more quickly and
efficiently. Artificial intelligence (AI) applications assist
students find solutions and answers via easily accessible
dictionaries like Google scholar, as well as educational films
and material. This greatly reduces the gaps in educational
resources when using traditional ways like books and lectures.
Personalized Education
The field of education is undergoing a transformation
thanks to artificial intelligence. One method to see this shift
is through personalized learning, which creates programs and
activities for students based on information from student data
that are especially catered to their needs and interests. Thanks
to advances in artificial intelligence, tech companies such as
Google can now collect vast amounts of data about individual
customer preferences. This enables them to deliver
49
Artificial Intelligence in Academia: Challenges and Prospect for...
personalized content that exceeds past expectations and keeps
people on an app or website longer.
Massive help for Students with Special Needs
Artificial intelligence can be used to helppupils with specific
requirements because of its flexibility. Because some students
may not participate in class, teachers may overlook critical
nuances while teaching a large group. The AI works with each
student individually to ensure that they are learning at their
best rate and also provides them with additional one-on-one
time with teachers.
Integrated Learning
Immersive learning is one of the numerous educational
possibilities and advantages of artificial Intelligence offered.
Ergo, students are provided with real-world experiences they
can use on a regular basis outside of class and are given more
influence over how they learn. The exponential growth of
artificial intelligence in our culture will change education.
Especially when you take into account how restricted humans
are in comparison to AI’s abilities to assimilate information at
an incredibly fast rate while doing accurate computations
without making mistakes or growing weary.
Intelligent Tutoring System
Intelligent tutoring systems (ITSs) are one of the cutting-
edge applications that demonstrate the benefits of artificial
intelligence in the educational setting. ITSs employ computer-
based learning environments to help students learn, practice,
or master new skills by providing personalized instruction
based on how adept they are with a certain topic or skill set.
Personalized feedback provides students with quick feedback
on how well they grasp subjects presented in class and allows
them to compare their performance to the rest of their peers
who are learning in a virtual environment.
50 Artificial Intelligence in Academia: Challenges and Prospect for...
Virtual Reality Learning
Because of technological advancements, students today
feel more connected to and interested in their education.
Virtual reality courses that allow users to learn while immersed
in a new setting or scenario, such as having access to top
institutions around the world without ever leaving your seat,
have transformed this sector of education, and the AI
application is to blame. Virtual reality will allow students to
interact more fully with their course material in the future.
Software for Grading Essays
The key benefits of artificial intelligence in education are
the speed and accuracywith which paper assessors can evaluate
papers. Despite the fact that technology is still in its infancy,
AI has various potential uses, one of which is the use of AI-
driven software to assess student writings.
Raising Academic Standards and Educational Quality
Artificial intelligence offers a cutting-edge way to
increasing student participation in educational courses at all
levels. Artificial intelligence may update the course content,
provide quick feedback, and determine the level of student
involvement using interactive learning approaches that are
not currently available in educational institutions.
Artificial intelligence can improve the way we teach by
providing students with a different educational experience
than they would otherwise receive.They can access materials
outside of their usual classes and receive real-time feedback
through AI engagement.
Lower Human Error
Many previously manual operations have been mechanized
as a result of technological breakthroughs. One example is
how artificial intelligence (AI) has reduced human errors in
the field of education while judging tests and homework
assignments.
51
Artificial Intelligence in Academia: Challenges and Prospect for...
Conclusion
In conclusion, the implementation of AI in education marks
a transformative stride towards a more dynamic and
personalized learning experience. Through intelligent systems,
students benefit from tailored content delivery, adaptive
assessments, and enhanced engagement. AI fosters a
collaborative environment, equipping educators with valuable
insights to tailor their teaching methodologies. However,
challenges such as ethical considerations and the need for
ongoing professional development should not be overlooked.
As we navigate this frontier, it is imperative to strike a balance
between technological integration and preserving the
invaluable human touch in education, ensuring that AI serves
as an enabler for a more effective and inclusive learning
journey.

Use of Artificial Intelligence in
Language Learning
Dr. Suman Devi
Introduction
A-I is very important and potential for bringing the change
that how we live, how we do jobs and how we play. A-I has
been used successfully and efficiently in business, customer
service work, transport, fraud detection and in the field of
quality control. There are many areas in which A-I is used.
And it is true that A-I can perform any task better than humans.
A-I is powered and personal assistants. For example- Siri,
Google Assistant and Amazon Alexa. These are included in
smart phones which can perform many tasks automatically.
These are devices which perform the tasks such as – setting
reminders and sending messages for playing the music and
can also control the other smart phones devices. A-I learning
is also valuable in transportation applications. Companies can
be helped by improving their efficiency for the routes so that
they can predict the traffic.
If, we look into the recent past the rise of online education
has revolutionized the language learning process. Same is with
AI, the developments in AI technology has brought a turning
point in education. If, we study with AI technology, which is
53
Artificial Intelligence in Academia: Challenges and Prospect for...
an emerging technology that enables us a variety of
constructive features in apps. AI powered language are
combined with the use of neural network capabilities which
results in a new era of education for students as well as
teachers. But, how can you use AI for improving the learning
outcomes for students, that is the question.
Machine learning (ML) is the part of AI that allows the
system to become more effective for performing any task and
for making of the decisions. AI is a kind of learning which
uses algorithms designing for replacing the human brain. There
are hundreds of algorithms which helps AI for mastering the
foreign languages. For instance, the Decision Tree algorithm
helps AI to make the smart and data driven decisions. There
are three main algorithms which are used for learning any
language. For example- NLP (Natural language processing),
Collocation Extraction and Point Mutual information(PMI).
Where NLP allows machines to read and understand human
language or brain. And Collocation extraction has been used
for retrieving the information, for classifying the documents
and also for solving the problems of language generation.
These platforms can analyze student’s data for tailoring
the lesson plans, making the language learning effectual. AI
can break down the language ‘s barriers by many methods
which make language education more reachable to a global
audience. So, in this paper, we will discuss about the
exploration and acquisition for the basic knowledge about AI.
This paper will conclude about the benefits of A-I along
with many apps which are useful for learning of languages.
It also describes about the technical challenges, what it faces
in real world.
A-I language learning apps are becoming popular because
of the ability to be used by the individual’s needs and
preferences. These apps also use machine learning algorithms
to analyze the progress and for providing the feedback and
suggestions.
54 Artificial Intelligence in Academia: Challenges and Prospect for...
Benefits of Artificial Intelligence
A-I algorithms have the potential for the advancement of
e- Learning in every field. In companies A-I can be used for
training of the employees. And individual learners can use A-
I language learning for studying any type of subject. Whereas,
schools and colleges can employ for student’s opportunities.
Here are some of the benefits of Artificial Intelligence.
Adapting as per the students’ needs
The main benefit of A-I is based on the individual’s need.
When a teacher is teaching to the class. It is impossible for a
teacher in such a way that can suit to all the learners. By the
help of A-I, the needs of each individual student can be
fulfilled. Educators can collect useful data about the learners,
their styles and also about their abilities. This data can also
predict about the future performance about the learners. It
also provides platforms for users to work as per their own
requirements. A-I can also repeat the topics, it can engage the
learners and can also consider the factors of their cultural
background.
Providing of Immediate Feedback
If, we try to give the feedback traditionally, it can take
much time. Because, it is slower in response. Where, teachers
read and grade the students work and take some times to
give the results. But, in artificial intelligence in language
learning, feedback is instant. A-I gives grades tests and
evaluate automatically after the submission. It can point out
the error and can also fix them. Consequently, students can
take the instant actions to rectify their mistakes and can avoid
them in future.
A-I can also help teachers to pinpoint the weakness in the
curriculum. By the help of A-I, they can identify the misleading
questions and can improve it after identifying the needs.
55
Artificial Intelligence in Academia: Challenges and Prospect for...
No panic of flaw
Making the errors is natural part in education. It can affect
the process negatively. Students who are ashamed of the
mistakes, knowledge gaps and low grades which can result
in disengagement of the students with studying. A-I for
language learning does not let repent or embarrass them in
front of the class. So, A-I simply evaluates the learners.
A Redefined role for teachers
A-I can replace human teachers completely. It can also
redefine the role of a teacher. A-I can carry out the grading,
paper work and other administrative work quickly and with
more efficiency. It can allow teachers for more learning
processes and can guide the students.
Deep involvement in the learning process
It is because of AI, that students can study anywhere as
per their wish. They can set their goals as per the requirements.
And can follow a customized syllabus. A-I, can also engage
in games, quizzes and in other activities that can tailor the
syllabus as per the needs and concern of the students.
How does different language learning use AI?
There are many language learning apps and each has its
own model and processes.
1. Phase 6
It is a German Company which offers a leading language
learning app that is mostly used by schools and universities.
Initially, Phase 6 was available as a desktop solution and the
company had to adapt the growing demand for mobile
language learning. Intellias has helped Phase 6 for developing
a scaling backend with mobile access. If AI is with algorithms,
this app will provide a smart vocabulary trainer along with
progress report.
56 Artificial Intelligence in Academia: Challenges and Prospect for...
Duolingo
This is the most famous language learning app, but how
does Duolingo will be used in A-I.
Duolingo has chatbots which is fluent in 36 languages. And
each of the user of chatbot will employ the machine learning
for recognizing the voice and speech patterns of the user’s.
This will enable the automatic reading, writing and speaking
tests for the users. And it will allow grade the learners on the
base of their grades.
Rosetta Stone
If, we date back to the early 1990s, we will find the Rosetta
Stone brand and that pave the way for learning of the language
software. By using the ML technology, increased reality and
translation, the Rossetta Stone app is the latest iteration of the
software. It can help to recognize the own speech system.
This app can scan the objects with the help of camera and can
translate the content in different types of languages.
Mondly
This app offers courses in almost forty thousand languages
and can make the use of images which can integrate reality
and VR. Users can get connected to the real world situations
to the learning experiences.
Babbel
It is a German app and also e Learning platform. Babbel
app offers courses in 14 languages. It employs to recognize
the speech, tailored assessments and grading algorithms which
are based on the spaced replication. This app also reminds the
users of different words and phrases.
Busuu
This is Spansish app. Busuu uses AI and provide one on
one tutoring to teach users based on the choices of 12
57
Artificial Intelligence in Academia: Challenges and Prospect for...
languages. Busuu incorporates with Google Assistant for
enabling the live conversations and lately launched an app for
the virtual reality (VR).
Memrise
It is British app. It applies a bespoke object for recognizing
algorithm to identify images from the camera of users and
can name the objects from the chosen language. It also engages
smart chatbots that will interact with its users in 23 languages.
Chat GPT
It is a famous app which is free and for the general
purposes. It is extremely popular since 2022. It also offers the
conversation and would help in writing of the text. It also has
applications for learning of a language. You just ask Chat GPT
to translate any text into any language and it will provide the
exact results.
Difficulties of A –I in Language Learning
If we take the consideration of A-I powered language
learning tools. Users can be aware of that how their data has
been used and stored. And they can be comfortable with the
level of data collection.
Technological Boundaries
A-I has made the noteworthy advancements in learning
of a language. There are still the limitations of technology.
For instance- A-I finds difficulties to understand the nuances
of composite languages, colloquial language and cultural
context which can also affect the value of learning experiences.
The Role of Human Interaction-
Though, there are many benefits of A-I language learning.
But, still we cannot overlook the interaction of humans for
learning of languages. If we connect with the native speakers
and engages in the conversation and can immerse oneself in
58 Artificial Intelligence in Academia: Challenges and Prospect for...
the target language culture. We can provide valuable
experiences and human touch that A-I cannot fully replace.
Conclusion
A-I has been revolutionized over the years which can
make it more available, proficient and appealing than before.
With the development in technology of A-I and its
incorporation of cutting –edge tools such as VR and AR. With
such kind of advancements, the future of language learning
seems quite promising. Though, it is vital to recognize the
importance of human interaction for the process of language
learning. If humans combine both of the worlds, they can
achieve their goals and unlock the new opportunities. No
doubt, if we include A-I in education, it will enhance the
learning of many languages. Students will flourish with the
tailored content and instant feedback and can adapt it as per
their needs. Even, the role of a teacher can feel easier because
of language apps in the form of machine translation. However,
human effort is equally important for developing and
implementing the effective solutions. A-I software companies
can work for designing the smart educational app that can
drive any kind of business being its transportation or online

Ethics, Ethos, Safety and Well-
Being in Using AI in Higher
Education
Dr. N. Kothai
INTRODUCTION
For higher education in 2023, artificial intelligence (AI) is
expected to be one of the most pervasive technological
advances. Students’ educational experiences can be enhanced
and improved by using AI, which offers innovative accessibility
options along with individualized learning that is catered to
each individual student. Natural language processing, machine
learning, and algorithm development are all applied in the
subject of artificial intelligence (AI). Utilizing AI, educational
resources are transformed. Numerous educational uses of AI
exist, including automated evaluation systems to support
teachers, facial recognition software to gain behavioral
insights, and tailored learning platforms to encourage students
to learn. Despite the potential benefits of AI to support
students’ learning experiences and teachers’ practices, the
erthical and societal drawbacks of these systems are rarely
fully considered in K-12 educational contexts. Teachers and
students need to be made aware of the ethical issues
surrounding artificial intelligence in the classroom. Thus the
ethics of Artificial Intelligence in higher education are a
complicated but urgent issue that require consideration and
74 Artificial Intelligence in Academia: Challenges and Prospect for...
a lively debate because of several important ethical issues,
such as:
PREJUDICE AND DISCRIMINATION
Artificial Intelligence systems are now trained by humans.
AI refers to systematic and replicable flaws in computer
systems that result in unequal treatment and discrimination
based on constitutionally protected traits, such as gender and
race. Systems can be biased only if they were trained on biased
data (Jackson, 2021). This is only possible if a biased dataset
is used to train the AI system.
PRIVACY AND SECURITY
It’s been somewhat difficult to define what “privacy”
actually means, because Artificial Intelligence systems have
the potential to gather and use student personal data, its use
can give rise to concerns regarding security and privacy. To
protect students’ privacy and stop illegal access to their data,
colleges, universities and other organizations must put in place
explicit regulations and procedures.
ACCESS AND INCLUSION
Access and inclusion for students with challenges may be
enhanced by AI-powered educational technologies. Making
all educational resources, activities and assessments accessible
to all students’ entails making sure persons with disabilities
as well as learning obstacles may participate in them. The term
“access and inclusion” in artificial intelligence (AI) refers to
the “inclusion” of people with “diverse” features and
viewpoints in the system, data, governance and processes of
the AI ecosystem. The depiction of human diversity among a
group or society is termed as diversity.
TRANSPERENCY AND ACCOUNTABILITY
In Artificial Intelligence, Transparency refers to the
capacity to see inside an AI model and comprehend the
75
Artificial Intelligence in Academia: Challenges and Prospect for...
reasoning behind its judgements. Making sure that systems
are properly constructed helps to build our faith in their actions.
This calls for accountability – as well as transparency –the
capacity to comprehend how systems decide and how the data
is used.
REPLACING HUMAN TEACHERS
Artificial Intelligence is lagging behind humans in most
fields at the moment, particularly when it comes to difficult
tasks that call for a combination of technical and socio-
emotional abilities. It is crucial that we resist giving computers
complete control over cognition even as Artificial Intelligence
develops.
Artificial Intelligence systems require ethical behaviour
from humans, not from computers, in order to function
correctly. It is ultimately the duty of humans to develop and
implement AI systems.
ETHOS
Going slightly back in time, we can find the term ethics
in Ancient Greece, coming from Aristotle with the word
“ethos”, which initially stated to habit, tradition, and the
incessant replication of moral action. I am thus rational about
how to include Aristotle’s idea of ethos while imitating AI in
21st-century society. At the same time, the solution may be
forthright or complicated, inspiring moral behavior as a habit
is what I understand ethos to be.
SAFETY
Artificial Intelligence safety technologies encompass a
variety of instruments, approaches and procedures intended
to guarantee the ethical, safe and consistent functioning of AI
systems. There’s growing concern about potential prejudices,
vulnerabilities and unexpected consequences as AI systems
get more powerful and intricate. By developing systems to
track AI behaviour, get rid of lessen prejudices, stop malicious
76 Artificial Intelligence in Academia: Challenges and Prospect for...
attacks, and make sure AI systems are in line with human
goals and values, safety technologies seek to alleviate these
worries.
WELL-BEING
From monitoring diagnosis, clinical trials and health care
delivery to health economics, artificial intelligence (AI) has
enormous potential to revolutionize nearly every facet of
healthcare and health research. Artificial intelligence (AI) has
the ability to tailor healthcare diagnosis, treatment, and
monitoring for each patient, both at home and in the
community. Customized help and guidance for people
suffering from anxiety or depression might be offered via an
AI-powered Chabot. In order to comprehend a human being’s
worries and offer coping mechanisms and resources to assist
in symptom management, the chatbot may employ natural
language processing.
RECOMMENDATIONS
 Ensure transparency in AI systems, providing clear
information on how they function.
 Implement fairness by avoiding biases in training data
and algorithms to prevent discernment.
 Prioritize user confidentiality, securing and handling
data correctly. Foster a culture of responsible AI use
within your organization, emplacing ethical guidelines.
 Encourage open communication about the potential
impact of AI on society and the environment.
 Strive for AI solutions that contribute positively to
societal well-being. Establish robust security measures
to protect AI systems from malicious attacks.
 Implement fail-safes and error-handling mechanisms
to ensure safe operation. Regularly update and
maintain AI systems to address emerging risks and
vulnerabilities.
77
Artificial Intelligence in Academia: Challenges and Prospect for...
 Design AI applications with user well-being in mind,
minimizing negative impacts.
 Monitor and address potential societal concerns
related to job displacement or economic inequality.
Colloborative with experts in diverse fields to assess
and address the border inpacts of AI on well-being.

Artificial Intelligence in
Conjuction with Teachers is a
Need for the Educational
System of the Twenty-First
Century
Dr. P. Subramanian
INTRODUCTION
Over the past few decades, there have been several waves
of emerging technologies for education, and the latest one is
artificial intelligence. In 1956, John McCarthy used the term
“artificial intelligence” for the very first time. Artificial
Intelligence (AI) is defined as “computers [that] perform
cognitive tasks, usually associated with human minds,
particularly learning and problem-solving,” and does not refer
to a specific technology. AI is a broad term that covers a variety
of analytical techniques. These techniques fall into the
categories of deep learning, neural networks, and machine
learning. The ability of a computer algorithm to learn from
data and make decisions without programming is known as
machine learning. The two most popular machine learning
models are supervised and unsupervised learning models,
despite the existence of many more. While unsupervised
79
Artificial Intelligence in Academia: Challenges and Prospect for...
machine learning algorithms generate a model from untagged
data, supervised machine learning algorithms use sample data,
also known as training data, to build their models. Stated
differently, the unsupervised model operates autonomously,
uncovering patterns that humans had previously missed. AI
offers a wide range of applications in education. For example,
chatbots, intelligent tutoring, and automated grading systems
are just a few of the educational technologies that incorporate
AI. All stakeholders have multiple opportunities to benefit
from these AI-based systems during the teaching and learning
process.
Artificial intelligence (AI) has been making its way into
our daily lives through a variety of channels, including
healthcare systems, mobile apps, and online search engines.
The rapid development of AI technologies has significant
effects on teaching and learning as well. Indeed, AI-assisted
instruction is predicted to revolutionize the field of education.
As a result, significant resources have been allocated to the
incorporation of AI into education. The majority of current
AI applications in education are profit-oriented, which poses
a significant challenge to the effective integration of AI into
teaching and learning. For AI to be used in teaching effectively,
developers must possess pedagogical knowledge in addition
to their limited understanding of the learning sciences.
Furthermore, AI developers frequently overlook the demands
placed on them by teachers, who are AI’s end users in the
educational system. For AI to be successfully implemented in
schools, teachers’ opinions, experiences, and expectations must
be taken into account. Teachers are thought to be among the
most important stakeholders in AI-based teaching. In
particular, a deeper understanding of the benefits AI offers
educators and the difficulties they encounter in implementing
AI-based instruction is necessary for AI to become
pedagogically relevant. Teachers’ perspectives on AI-based
education, however, have not received much attention.
Furthermore, there has been a lack of attention in the literature
80 Artificial Intelligence in Academia: Challenges and Prospect for...
to teachers’ contributions to the development of AI as well as
their expertise in its pedagogical application. This study
examines the opportunities and difficulties that artificial
intelligence (AI) in teaching practice has brought to light in
order to fill in these research gaps.
AI’S POTENTIALITIES IN EDUCATION
One of the primary advantages of using artificial
intelligence in the classroom is the ability to provide more
personalized instruction. Teachers often have less time to
spend one-on-one with students as class sizes continue to grow.
As a result, students who require extra assistance may fall
behind their peers, while students who understand the
material well may become disengaged. Integrating AI-based
personalized learning activities for students could have a
significant impact on information retention and graduation
rates. Artificial intelligence has also demonstrated the potential
to be used in reviews and assessments, where the teacher’s
input is frequently limited in a traditional educational setting.
This level of individualized involvement permits AI-based
review and assessment that boosts student retention whilst
also preventing valuable review time from being wasted on
topics they are already familiar with. Teachers have seen the
potential utilization of AI beyond the educational process to
help manage the more menial tasks of their jobs. While grading,
scheduling, lesson planning, and other duties are necessary
for a classroom to function properly, they detract from a
teacher’s primary purpose: to educate. Teachers can spend
more time addressing the actual content now that these tasks
are handled by artificial intelligence.
Many opponents of using artificial intelligence in the
classroom believe that it will ultimately substitute for teachers,
but this is simply not the case. AI technology is still evolving
— and is unlikely to ever do so — to the point where it can
completely replace human teachers. Nothing can replace a
human teacher’s ability to visually gauge and understand their
81
Artificial Intelligence in Academia: Challenges and Prospect for...
students’ reactions and engage with their students on an
emotional level, no matter how much data an AI processes
about a student’s performance and preferences. Indeed, AI
will be most useful as a supplement to teachers’ workloads.
Some have questioned whether artificial intelligence is required
in the classroom. However, given that using AI as a
supplement tool has the clear benefit of improving student
learning and teacher productivity, it is worthwhile to consider
using this technology in the classroom.
Furthermore, the goal of education is to prepare students
for real-world experiences, and AI is becoming a dominant
part of several industries. We must prepare students to coexist
with artificial intelligence in a meaningful, productive, and
appropriate way if we want them to be ready for success in
their careers. Otherwise, when they enter the workforce, they
will be unprepared.
ROLE OF TEACHERS
The shift toward digital education does not imply that
people will require fewer teachers in the future. Rather than
speculating on whether AI will replace teachers, it is more
reasonable to focus on the benefits that AI provides teachers
and how these benefits can change teachers’ roles in the
classroom. Salomon demonstrated this during the early stages
of educational technology development by emphasizing the
importance of considering how learning occurs through and
with computers. In terms of artificial intelligence, Holstein et
al. proposed that in the future, AI-based machines could assist
teachers in performing what Dillenbourg emphasized as their
orchestrator role in the learning and teaching process.
To truly assist teachers in this way, AI must first learn
effective orchestration of learning and teaching from teacher
data. Because effective teaching is dependent on teachers’
ability to incorporate appropriate pedagogical methods into
their instruction, their pedagogically meaningful and
productive teaching instances can serve as prototypes for AI-
82 Artificial Intelligence in Academia: Challenges and Prospect for...
based systems of learning. In other words, the data collected
from the learning environment orchestrated by teachers serves
as the foundation for AI-based teaching. For example, the data
may assist researchers in determining when and how
effectively teaching is progressing. Teachers are essential in
helping students develop emotionally and feel like they belong.
They can modify their methods in response to student
feedback, foster critical thinking, and customize their teaching
approaches to each student’s unique learning style. Teachers
give advice, encourage students to follow their interests, and
impart contextual knowledge. To enhance students’ learning,
they can create engaging classes, offer moral guidance, and
provide prompt feedback. This dynamic approach guarantees
a more efficient and customized educational process.
Many of the administrative duties that teachers currently
complete can be automated by AI, giving them more time to
plan lessons and engage students. This has the potential to
lessen teacher burnout, a serious problem in many educational
systems. AI can assist educators in locating and filling in any
knowledge gaps that students may be experiencing. This has
the potential to improve learning outcomes by raising
motivation and engagement levels among students. AI can
give teachers insights into how each student is doing and
where they might be having difficulties by evaluating student
data. Teachers can use this to help students succeed by
tailoring their instruction and offering focused support. The
future of AI will probably change the role that teachers play.
AI systems will take care of administrative and grading duties,
freeing up teachers to concentrate more on higher-level duties
like lesson planning and student engagement.
The creation of learning gaps is one of the main effects
that the use of AI in the classroom could have. Students will
only receive the answer from an artificial intelligence tool;
they will not be given the methodology used to arrive at the
answer. After that, it is the duty of the teacher to close the
knowledge gap between what the AI provides and what the
83
Artificial Intelligence in Academia: Challenges and Prospect for...
students require to learn. A lot of ethical questions are brought
up by AI in education, including bias in grading and data
privacy. As AI becomes more and more integrated into the
teaching profession, these issues will need to be addressed.
All things considered, integrating AI into education has the
power to change the teaching profession and raise student
achievement.
CONCLUSION
Artificial intelligence is growing more and more prominent
in many areas of our lives every day. Artificial Intelligence
(AI) has begun to make an impact in the field of education,
with the goal of bolstering the learning process and serving
as a useful tool for both teachers and students. However, not
every educational institution has fully embraced the use of
AI, and it will require time for this to change. However, studies
show that in the near future, AI will have a good impact on
the education sector. It is currently transforming the education
industry. The shift towards digital education does not mean
fewer teachers will be needed in the future. Instead, AI can
provide benefits to teachers and change their roles in the
classroom. AI must learn effective orchestration of learning
and teaching from teacher data, which can be used to
determine progress and improve teaching methods. Teachers
play a crucial role in helping students develop emotionally
and feel like they belong, and can modify their methods based
on student feedback. AI can also automate administrative
duties, freeing up teachers to focus on higher-level tasks like
lesson planning and student engagement. However, AI may
create learning gaps, as students only receive answers from
AI tools without understanding the methodology used.
Teachers must close the knowledge gap between AI & students’
needs and and ethical issues like grading bias and data privacy
arise as AI integration becomes more prevalent. Artificial
intelligence can help to a larger extent, but it can never
completely replace teachers in the challenging task of teaching
students 21st century skills.

AI Applications Related to
Teaching and Learning!
Introduction:
Artificial intelligence is nothing but the way of reducing
human work and burden in an innovative way through the
development of science and technology. John McCarthy is
considered as the father of artificial intelligence and off course
the term “artificial intelligence” is coined by him. Later on,
Allen Turning, Marvin Minsky, Allen Newel and Herbert are
joined together and have been working for the further
improvement and development of many fields that are related
artificial intelligence.
At present day, by the result of artificial intelligence almost
each and every fields are being enhanced. Especially the
education field is highly gifted by the immense contribution
of artificial intelligence. Here Let us discuss specifically about
artificial intelligence applications related to teaching and
learning.

performing in Indian class rooms for many centuries. The
subject components or the knowledge are transforming
through the teachers to the learners in the way of lecturing,
88 Artificial Intelligence in Academia: Challenges and Prospect for...
explaining, describing with the help of books, contents and
real objects, etc.,
The traditional teaching and learning way are also effective
but the thing is, it is not able to cover all the learners of the
class room. It many times missed to grab the attention of
learners. There is no unique way or method to enrich all the
learners in the class room at one point, in fact it mainly focuses
the above average learners only. As a result, many below
average and late bloomers are dropped out from learning.
Not only this drop out problem but also there is no innovative
or enthusiastic way of method to teach and to evaluate the
learners.
Even though a skilled and sound knowledge teacher is
there, he/she couldn’t stop the rain with the single umbrella.
1. AI Applications in Education:
As result of science and technology, enormous
contributions are being made in the field of education. The
information and communication technology are really a boon
to the teachers as well as the students. Not only in India, all
over the world scop and focuses are being given to develop
their country high in education so far each and every country
is indulging themselves to invent and experiment ICT TOOLS

Ethical Implications and Risks
in AI Enhanced Education
Introduction
The field of education is changing as a result of artificial
intelligence (AI), which opens up new avenues for improving
assessment, boosting access and equity, and personalizing
instruction. But educators, legislators, researchers, and
developers must carefully consider and address the serious
ethical issues that AI also raises.
We first discuss the potential ethical concerns and the
opportunities presented by AI in education in this paper. The
relevant ethical policies and guidelines for AIED were then
examined and synthesized through the process of thematic
analysis in order to formulate and establish a set of ethical
principles. We go over each principle and its implications for
all the important parties involved in education, such as
teachers, students, policymakers, technology developers, and
institutional decision makers. It is anticipated that the proposed
set of ethical guidelines will act as a framework to advise and
direct educational stakeholders in the creation and application
of the advancement of artificial intelligence in education (AIED)
and will also stimulate the advancement of associated impact
studies in the field in the future.
What ethical concerns does AI in education raise? AI in
education can bring up a number of ethical concerns, including:
98 Artificial Intelligence in Academia: Challenges and Prospect for...
Bias and discrimination: AI systems have the potential
to reflect or magnify human biases and prejudices, which could
result in unfair or discriminatory outcomes for particular
student or teacher groups. A few examples of these concerns
include the use of incomplete, inaccurate, or unrepresentative
data by AI systems, as well as the application of opaque or
accountable algorithms.
Privacy and data protection: AI systems have the potential
to gather, store, process, and exchange a great deal of sensitive
personal data, including academic performance, behavior,
preferences, emotions, biometrics, and health information,
from students and teachers. Their right to privacy and data
protection may be violated by this, particularly if the
information is used for reasons other than education, like
commercialization, profiling, or surveillance.
The Safety and Security Principle:
Gathering user data is one of the primary purposes of
educational learning systems. This data is then used to forecast
user performance and learning behaviors. It is unavoidable to
consider a situation in which the data is most likely altered
or tampered with by someone else, or worse, by
cybercriminals.
The principle of security dictates that AIED must be
developed and executed in a way that guarantees the system’s
resilience against cyberattacks, data breaches, and corruption
risks, thereby guaranteeing the confidentiality and security
of sensitive data. The foundation of the idea of incorruptibility
in AIED is found in incorruptibility in AI, or the ability to
withstand malevolent manipulation by outside forces. AI
systems need to be “robust against human adversaries who
deliberately search for exploitable flaws in the algorithm,”
according to Bostrom & Yudkowsky (2014). Thus, it can be
said that data security and the integrity and incorruptibility
of the data go hand in hand. To avoid any abuse or violation,
it is imperative to protect the personal information of all
99
Artificial Intelligence in Academia: Challenges and Prospect for...
parties involved, including students, instructors, and
educational institutions. With virtual learning becoming more
commonplace, it is even more important to protect data privacy
and security, which calls for cooperation and self-awareness
on the part of all parties involved.
Because of this, it is essential that AIED developers take
great care when creating, honing, testing, and validating AI
systems for safety (Leslie, 2019). To ensure accountability and
robustness throughout the AI lifecycle, multistakeholder
groups, including educators, public authorities, and product
developers, should set up suitable mechanisms for oversight,
assessment, and due diligence (AHEG, 2020). In order to
ensure that AI users—both educators and students—get the
necessary training to operate the system safely in the
designated environment, this group should create
comprehensive guidelines.
Artificial intelligence (AI) has a daily impact on our lives
today and presents both opportunities and challenges for every
aspect of human endeavor, including education. The most
obvious risk among these appears to be the ethical concerns
surrounding the application of AI, such as the abuse of
personal information or life monitoring. Thus, the purpose of
this systematic review is to outline the main moral dilemmas
surrounding the application of AI-powered mobile apps in
the classroom and to enumerate some of the ramifications
derived from the studies that have been identified as being
relevant to this area of study. The PRISMA guidelines for
systematic information and meta-reviews served as the
foundation for this review study’s methodology.
The findings point to four fundamental ethical precepts
that ought to be adhered to, the most important of which is
algorithm vigilance, which calls for keeping an eye on,
comprehending, and averting the negative effects of algorithms
in the application of AI in education. In addition, it is
imperative to identify all relevant parties and ensure their
collective involvement and cooperation in order to ensure the
100 Artificial Intelligence in Academia: Challenges and Prospect for...
ethical application of AI in education. Since the current research
based on the review studies is limited and neglected in this
regard, the contribution of this study consists of highlighting
the need for collaborative research and cooperation of all
learners and users when using AI-related mobile technologies
in education with notable attention to the ethical issues.
Even though AI technology has many benefits for both
teachers and students, there are also risks and threats related
to ethical issues. These risks should be carefully considered
by conceptual and empirical studies that will clearly identify
potential threats. Privacy, or the lack of it, is one of these
main hazards. Users of AI technology built on algorithmic
apps knowingly provide personal information to be collected,
even though they are unaware of the precise nature and volume
of data being collected. Even though user consent is legally
required before using any AI technology, the user is actually
unaware of what is happening with their data in the system.
As a result, AI technology companies ought to reduce this
data and concentrate on incorporating only that which can
improve student learning.
Autonomy and agency: AI systems have the potential to
affect or impede teachers’ and students’ autonomy and agency,
which could have an impact on their capacity to make wise
decisions, exert control over their education, express their
creativity, or cultivate critical thinking abilities. For instance,
AI systems might offer advice or comments that are at odds
with the objectives, passions, or values of the students, or
they might substitute automated responses for human
interaction and direction.
Transparency and ability to explain: Students, teachers,
and other stakeholders may find it challenging to comprehend
or challenge the ways in which AI systems function because
they are opaque or complex. Their capacity to accept, validate,
dispute, or appeal the decisions or actions of AI systems may
be hampered as a result. AI systems might, for instance,
101
Artificial Intelligence in Academia: Challenges and Prospect for...
employ “black-box” algorithms, which conceal the steps they
take to arrive at their conclusions or forecasts.
Accountability and responsibility: The design,
development, deployment, use, and impact of AI systems in
education may give rise to concerns about who is accountable
or responsible for them. The distribution of responsibilities
and roles among the various players in the AI ecosystem may
become unclear or lacking as a result. AI systems, for instance,
have the potential to harm people or make mistakes that are
not related to any particular human agent.
Why is it crucial to discuss the moral implications of
AI in the classroom?
 It’s critical to address AI’s ethical concerns in education
for a number of reasons.
 To uphold dignity and human rights: The basic human
rights and dignity of educators and students may be
impacted by the ethical concerns surrounding AI in
education. As an illustration,
 The right to an education free from discrimination may
be violated by bias and discrimination.
 The right to privacy may be violated by data security
and privacy.
 Agency and autonomy may infringe upon the freedom
of thought.
 The right to information may be violated by
transparency and the ability to explain
 Responsibility and accountability might infringe on the
right to a remedy.
To guarantee efficacy and quality: The efficacy and
quality of educational processes and results may be impacted
by the ethical concerns surrounding AI in education. As an
illustration,
102 Artificial Intelligence in Academia: Challenges and Prospect for...
 Discrimination and bias can lower an assessment’s
validity and accuracy.
 The confidence and trust of students may be
compromised by privacy and data protection.
 Learning participants’ motivation and engagement may
be hampered by autonomy and agency.
 Transparency and explanation skills may hinder
learners’ feedback and direction.
 Responsibility and accountability could jeopardize
learning assessment and advancement.
For example, bias and discrimination may make already-
existing inequalities and marginalization worse; privacy and
data protection may expose vulnerable groups to exploitation
or harm; autonomy and agency may limit student participation
and empowerment; transparency and explain ability may create
information asymmetries or gaps; accountability and
responsibility may shift the burden or blame to students. These
ethical concerns surrounding AI in education may have an
impact on inclusion and equity of educational opportunities
and benefits.
How can the ethical concerns surrounding AI in
education be addressed?
A multi-stakeholder approach involving cooperation
between educators, legislators, researchers, developers, and
other AI ecosystem actors is necessary to address the ethical
concerns surrounding AI in education. Among the potential
courses of action that are available are:
Creating ethical frameworks and guidelines: These can
offer a shared understanding and a set of values and principles
to direct the moral creation, application, and impact of AI in
education. For instance, in November 2021, UNESCO released
the “Recommendation on the Ethics of Artificial Intelligence,”
the first-ever worldwide standard on AI ethics.
103
Artificial Intelligence in Academia: Challenges and Prospect for...
Putting ethical standards and practices into practice: To
guarantee the moral performance and conduct of AI systems
in education, ethical standards and practices can operationalize
moral frameworks and guidelines into specific actions and
measures. Information quality and transparency with
explaining skill, users overlook and discussions, privacy
protection policies and evaluation tools with users’
participations, etc. are a few examples of ethical practices and
standards.
Encouraging ethical education and awareness: Increasing
ethical literacy and competence among students, educators,
and other AI ecosystem stakeholders can be achieved through
ethical education and awareness. Curriculum integration,
professional development, public engagement, media literacy,
digital citizenship, and other activities are a few examples of
how ethical education and awareness can be promoted.
Increasing the effectiveness of ethical governance and
regulation: These policies can offer an institutional and legal
framework that guarantees the accountability and
responsibilities of AI actors in the educational system. Laws
and regulations, codes of conduct, ethics committees, oversight
bodies, complaint procedures, redress procedures, and so
forth are a few examples of ethical governance and regulation.
While artificial intelligence (AI) in education has enormous
potential to improve teaching and learning, it also presents
serious ethical issues that require careful thought and
resolution. We can make sure that artificial intelligence (AI)
is used in education for the benefit of people, communities,
and the environment by creating ethical frameworks and
guidelines, putting ethical practices and standards into
practice, encouraging ethical education and awareness, and
bolstering ethical governance and regulation.
A set of data that represents historical and systemic biases
in society is created whenever people create algorithms, and
this data eventually becomes algorithmic bias, even though
104 Artificial Intelligence in Academia: Challenges and Prospect for...
the bias is implicitly embedded into the algorithmic model
without conscious intention. We can observe various gender
and racial biases in various AI-based platforms.
Our focus will be on issues related to privacy, surveillance,
autonomy, bias, and discrimination, taking into account the
various forms of bias and ethical challenges of AI applications
in diverse settings. It is imperative to recognize, though, that
educators face a variety of ethical dilemmas and concerns
based on the grade level and developmental stage of their
students. We indicate the age and/or grade level of the
student(s) that are the target of recommended strategies and
resources.
Conclusion:
As we discussed, though there are some ethical implications
and risks in artificial intelligence-based education but those
should be avoided and omitted thoroughly by following the
safety and security principles while we use the AI in education.
As a learner or user of AI, we should personally aware of
what to do and what do not do. On the whole utilizing AI
enhanced education is indeed a gift to each and every learner
as well as teachers.

Artificial Intelligence in
Education System: Utilization
and Challenges
K. Mohana
Introduction
Artificial intelligence can be described as the capacity of
a digital computer or a robot under computer control to carry
out tasks that are typically performed by intelligent entities.
An Intelligent Entity Made by Humans is another definition
of AI.
 Able to think and act logically and compassionately
 Capable of carrying out tasks intelligently without
needing specific instructions.
Robots are what a layperson with a cursory understanding
of technology would associate with it. Some might describe
artificial intelligence as a self-thinking, autonomous entity akin
to a terminator. Artificial intelligence is the term used to
describe machine intelligence. The domain of artificial
intelligence has become increasingly popular in recent years.
What is the Process of Artificial Intelligence (AI)?
Constructing an artificial intelligence system involves
meticulously transferring human characteristics and talents
to a machine, leveraging its processing power to outperform
106 Artificial Intelligence in Academia: Challenges and Prospect for...
human capabilities. One must delve deeply into the many sub-
domains of artificial intelligence and comprehend how those
domains could be applied to the many industries in order to
fully comprehend how artificial intelligence actually functions.
Additionally, enrolling in an artificial intelligence course will
enable you to obtain a thorough knowledge.
Machine Learning (ML):
ML trains a machine to draw conclusions and take actions
based on prior knowledge. Without requiring the use of human
experience, it finds patterns in historical data and examines it
to deduce the meaning of individual data points and
potentially draw conclusions. Businesses may save time and
make better decisions by using automation to evaluate data
and draw conclusions. You can sign up for a free introductory
machine learning course to understand the fundamentals.
Deep Learning:
One machine learning technique is called deep learning. It
teaches a machine how to classify, infer, and predict an
outcome by processing inputs through layers.
Neural Networks:
Human neural cells and neural networks operate according
to comparable principles. These are a set of algorithms that
process the data in a manner similar to that of the human
brain, capturing the relationship between numerous underlying
variables.
Natural Language Processing:
Natural Language Processing (NLP): NLP is the study of
how a machine can read, comprehend, and interpret language.
A machine reacts appropriately after it determines what the
user is trying to say.
107
Artificial Intelligence in Academia: Challenges and Prospect for...
The Types of Artificial Intelligence?
3 Types of Artificial Intelligence
 Artificial Narrow Intelligence (ANI)
 Artificial General Intelligence (AGI)
 Artificial Super Intelligence (ASI)
Artificial Narrow Intelligence (ANI)?
At the moment, this is the most prevalent type of artificial
intelligence available. These artificial intelligence systems can
perform a single task extremely well since they are built to
handle a specific problem. As such, their skills are limited to
things like weather prediction and product recommendation
for online shoppers. As of right now, there is no other type
of artificial intelligence.
Artificial General Intelligence (AGI)?
AI is currently only a theoretical idea. In a wide range of
fields, including language processing, picture processing,
computational functioning and reasoning, and so on, it is
described as artificial intelligence with cognitive function
comparable to that of a human.
108 Artificial Intelligence in Academia: Challenges and Prospect for...
Developing an AGI system is still a long way off.
Thousands of Artificial Narrow Intelligence systems operating
in tandem and interacting with one another in order to
replicate human reasoning would be required for an AGI
system.
Artificial Super Intelligence (ASI)?
Though this is getting very close to science fiction, ASI is
thought to be the next natural step after AGI. A system with
Artificial Super Intelligence (ASI) might outperform any human
being. This would cover making decisions and doing it
rationally. It would also cover things like improving artistic
compositions and cultivating emotional bonds with others.
Artificial intelligence (AI) systems will be able to quickly
expand into domains we may not have even imagined until
we attain artificial general intelligence. The long road ahead
of us achieving AGI itself makes this seem like an idea that
lays far into the future, even if the gap between AGI and ASI
would be quite tiny (some claim as little as a nanosecond,
because that’s how fast Artificial Intelligence would learn).
What is Artificial Intelligence’s Use?
Artificial intelligence exists to support human talents and
enable us to make complex decisions that have wide-ranging
effects. In technical terms, that is the response. From a
philosophical standpoint, artificial intelligence has the promise
of enabling humans to lead more fulfilling lives free from
laborious tasks and of managing the intricate network of
interrelated people, businesses, states, and nations so that it
operates in a way that benefits all of mankind.
Which Benefits Does Artificial Intelligence Offer?
Without question, technology has improved our quality
of life. AI and other technologies have taken over several tasks,
including fraud detection, mobile banking, map directions,
and music recommendations. Between progress and
109
Artificial Intelligence in Academia: Challenges and Prospect for...
devastation, there is a thin boundary. AI is one of those things
that always has two sides to it. Let us examine a few benefits
of artificial intelligence.

to analyze
Future of Artificial Intelligence
Since we are currently seeing the greatest technology
developments in human history, fiction and technological
changes have always captivated us as humans. It appears that
artificial intelligence will be the next great thing in technology.
Global organizations are developing ground-breaking
advances in machine learning and artificial intelligence. In
addition to having an influence on humankind and every
industry, artificial intelligence is also the primary force behind
the development of cutting-edge technologies like big data,
robots, and the Internet of Things.
The Curriculum’s Integration of AI
Artificial Intelligence (AI) in the classroom has the power
to completely change how teachers and students are educated.
With the help of AI algorithms, students can receive tailored
feedback and recommendations, making their education more
successful and interesting. Even with these possible
advantages, integrating AI in the classroom comes with a
number of drawbacks. The advantages of using AI in the
classroom, the difficulties that educators encounter, and the
112 Artificial Intelligence in Academia: Challenges and Prospect for...
most efficient ways to incorporate AI into the curriculum are
all covered in this essay. In order to fully realize AI’s potential
in education, the paper also emphasizes the necessity of
continued research and development in this field.
Challenges of Using AI in The Classroom
While using AI in the classroom has many advantages, there
are a number of obstacles that educators must get past. Having
the necessary technical knowledge is one of the main obstacles.
It could be challenging for educators who are unfamiliar with
artificial intelligence (AI) to incorporate this technology into
their lesson plans; they might require assistance and training to
get going. The price of AI tools and applications is another
issue. Many colleges and universities lack the funding to buy
and maintain the equipment required to integrate AI into the
classroom; as a result, they might have to look outside the
institution for partnerships or outside funding.
The Best Methods for Using AI in the Classroom
AI in the classroom best practices can assist educators in
integrating this technology into their lessons and giving
students a more engaging and customized learning experience.
Here are a few crucial best practices to take into account.
1. Partner with A Reliable AI Provide.
Securing a dependable and trustworthy AI partner is
essential to implementing AI in the classroom successfully.
This could be a non-profit AI education specialist group, a
nearby university, or a tech company. With the correct partner,
instructors can successfully integrate AI into their lesson plans
by receiving assistance, direction, and training.
2. Start Small
Teachers should start small and work their way up with
AI instead of attempting to integrate it throughout the
curriculum. As a result, educators can become more
113
Artificial Intelligence in Academia: Challenges and Prospect for...
comfortable using the technology, develop their confidence,
and improve their methods of instruction over time. To begin
with, educators could use AI-powered learning games in their
classes or use AI algorithms to provide each student individual
feedback on their assignments.
3. Foster Ethical and Critical Thinking
Students have the chance to gain a critical perspective on
AI and its effects on society by utilising it in the classroom.
Instructors ought to push their pupils to reflect critically on
the moral implications of artificial intelligence as well as the
possible fallout from its widespread application. By doing this,
students can learn how to be responsible, knowledgeable
digital citizens who can successfully navigate the opportunities
and challenges presented by the digital age.
Teacher–Student Collaboration
AI can help teachers and students work together more
effectively, which will improve the educational process as a
whole. AI can assist teachers in identifying students’ learning
styles, areas of strength, and weaknesses so they can modify
their pedagogical approaches. This is done by giving them
access to real-time analytics and insights. Teachers can adjust
the lesson in real time thanks to in situ assessments and instant
feedback. AI can be used to alert teachers to which students
are having difficulties and when they are, as well as to suggest
potential solutions. AI can act as a brainstorming partner to
find practical ways to enhance student learning. AI technology
can assist educators in responding to a range of queries from
students during class. Since human teachers are limited in their
knowledge, students’ unexpected and unconventional
questions may present a challenge.
Conclusion:
This AI paper serves as a comprehensive exploration of
artificial intelligence, traversing its evolutionary process,
diverse machine learning techniques, and distinct types. From
114 Artificial Intelligence in Academia: Challenges and Prospect for...
Narrow AI (ANI) designed for specific tasks to the apparitional
realms of achieving human-like intelligence (AGI) and the
theoretical constructs of super intelligent AI (ASI), the
spectrum of AI’s potential is vividly outlined. The paper
meticulously examines the multifaceted uses and benefits AI
offers across various domains, underscoring its transformative
impact on industries and society at large. Furthermore, an
insightful analysis of methods employed in AI development
underscores the intricate blend of traditional and cutting-edge
approaches driving progress. By providing a nuanced
understanding of AI’s evolution, capabilities, and applications,
this presentation contributes to a holistic comprehension of
the ever-expanding field of artificial intelligence, leaving room
for anticipation and further exploration.

INTRODUCTION:
Artificial Intelligence (AI) refers to the stimulation of
human’s intelligence in machines that are programmed to
think, learn, and perform tasks that traditionally require human
intelligence. The goal of AI is to develop systems that can
execute tasks that typically require human intelligence, such
as visual perception, speech recognition, decision-making, and
language translation.
AI is divided into two primary categories: general AI (also
known as strong AI) and narrow AI (sometimes known as
weak AI). Narrow AI is designed to perform a specific task,
such as facial recognition or language translation, while
General AI would have the ability to understand, learn, and
apply intelligence across a wide range of tasks – similar to
human intelligence, but this level of AI is largely theoretical
at present.
AI has found applications in numerous industries,
including healthcare, finance, education, transportation, and
entertainment. It has the potential to enhance efficiency,
improve decision-making processes, and address complex
challenges. However, the development and deployment of
AI also raise ethical and societal considerations, including
116 Artificial Intelligence in Academia: Challenges and Prospect for...
issues related to bias, transparency, and the impact on
employment. As AI continues to advance, researchers and
policymakers are working to ensure responsible and ethical
development to harness the benefits of this technology while
mitigating potential risks.
Assistive Technology:
External devices created, manufactured, or modified to
help a person carry out a certain task are known as assistive
devices. Many people with disabilities depend on assistive
devices to enable them to carry out daily activities and
participate actively and productively in community
life.Disabled people have a greater chance to live
independently, obtain and maintain a job, and enjoy many
societal benefits in today’s society more than ever before
Assistive and adaptive technology has helped that vision and
reality. For instance, there is software available on the market
that, with repetitive practice, an easy-to-use interface, and
relevant life skills instruction, can help students with severe
disabilities achieve independence. This wikibook will make
recommendations for the kinds of content-specific assistive
technology applications that could be utilized to teach students
in a life skills classroom functional skills. In the context of this
wikibook, life skills students are children in middle and high
school with severe disabilities, typically of a cognitive
character, whose cognitive demands go beyond the typical
curriculum to include concepts and subject matter that would
enable them to succeed in society.
People who struggle with speaking, typing, writing,
remembering, pointing, seeing, hearing, learning, walking, and
many other tasks can benefit from assistive technology.
Different disabilities require different assistive technologies.As
IDEA 2004 states, this is a legal obligation for our school
districts to deliver to students of special life skills
needs. Administrators, instructors, staff, parents, and students
should be aware of the software options available to support
117
Artificial Intelligence in Academia: Challenges and Prospect for...
the acquisition of life skills by kids in order to guarantee an
inclusive learning environment and opportunities for all
students. The development of functional abilities helps
impaired students participate successfully in the community.
Development of functional skills also enhances a person’s
reputation and sense of dignity. Assistive Technology can:
make it easier to do things • keep you safe. a system to use.
There are various levels: Level 1 of Basic Assistive Technology
Level 2 is for standard assistive technology; Level 3 is for
specialized assistive technology. Level 4 Complex Assistive
Technology.
Software Offering Functional Skill Content
Today’s market offers a wide variety of software options
for providing impaired pupils with functional skills content.
Here are ten software examples that would be beneficial
teaching functional skills to life skills students. The table below
and the application description follow, with the instructional
domain(s) it satisfies indicated.

Informal Online learning
Informal Online learning is Self-guided digital pursuit of
knowledge, information, and community that happens outside
formal educational programs such as degree-based programs
or structured online professional development modules.The
“Self-Directed Online Learning Environments (SOLE) Research
Team” at undertook an analysis of 305 informal learning
websites in reference to research on informal and self-directed
online learning environments.
Indiana University (IU) (Kim et al., 2014). From this
analysis we chose the following the characteristics to define
categories of informal online learning (Bonk, 2016). Please note
that many informal online learning communities will fall in
more than one category.
 Language learning
AI-powered language learning systems are able to
determine a student’s level of skill, preferred method of
learning, and rate of learning and adjust the lessons properly.
This personalization ensures that students receive content that
challenges them without overwhelming, making the learning
process more efficient and enjoyable.Technological supported
language learning resources that integrate sound, voice
interaction, text, video, and animation. This category supports
real-time interactive learning without being restricted by a
physical place and time.
 Outdoor and adventure learning
Outdoor experiences like climbing, mountaineering, ropes
course, assault courses, or outdoor sports like canoeing,
sailing, and orienteering are common components of outdoor
adventure learning. These can be organized as intensive
residential courses or shorter courses run in schools or local
outdoor centers. Outdoor and adventure learning are hybrids
of online educational environments where students have
opportunities to explore real-world concepts, issues, and topics
through an authentic learning experiences within online
120 Artificial Intelligence in Academia: Challenges and Prospect for...
collaborative learning structures. Often including inquiry-
based learning including teamwork, authentic data analysis,
and project-based learning to support engagement and
interaction.
 Social change/global
Social change/global resources are communities that aim
to educate and inform people about issues and needs. This
frequently results in creative approaches to promoting social
justice and global access to education. It is also employed to
uplift and motivate community members.
AI can help educators tailor their instruction to each
student’s needs so they can progress at their own pace. Some
well-known educational platforms, like Carnegie Learning,
currently provide customized courses using Artificial
Intelligence. Education contributes to social change in several
ways. It develops democratic principles, encourages critical
thinking, boosts economic growth, encourages social mobility,
and eases cultural transformations.
AI has been effectively applied in a number of educational
settings, from helping with language acquisition and
translation to outsourcing homework and assignment marking.
It has also been used to make lesson plans and interactive
activities to help young children with their social and intellectual
skills.
 Virtual education
Virtual education refers to online learning environments
where teachers and students are not necessarily within the
same space or time. The content is provided through course
management applications as well as various multimedia and
Web 2.0 tools. Virtual education may be managed by
organizations and institutions that have been created through
alliances and partnerships to facilitate teaching and learning.
Many virtual education websites provide tools for both the
learner and educator. A virtual learning environment is one
in which teachers use audio or video to lecture students
121
Artificial Intelligence in Academia: Challenges and Prospect for...
through a digital curriculum. There are two possible learning
environments for this instruction: asynchronous (self-paced)
and synchronous (real-time). Online learning has numerous
advantages, one of which is the ability to have a more flexible
schedule can lower the price of your degree and make it easier
for you to pursue further education and career advancement
at the same time.
 Learning portals
Learning centers with instructive content on a subject that
enhances user and context learning are assigned to learning
portals. Information can be acquired according to a person’s
interests, availability, and time. This data is frequently up to
date or updated frequently. Artificial Intelligence (AI) has the
potential to revolutionize education in a number of ways, such
as by personalizing learning experiences, streamlining
administrative processes, enhancing accessibility, and giving
instructors and students immediate feedback.
 Shared online video
Shared online video includes any educational video
(uploaded content and live streaming) that can be watched or
shared. Some content is provided in professional contexts
while other can be simply home-made. These sites often allow
for interaction via comments and messaging. Additionally,
videos can allow for downloading of content. Video-based
learning literally refers to learning experiences facilitated
through video. With its ability to combine camera footage,
animation, graphics, text, and audio, videos create a multi-
sensory learning experience, unlike any other e-learning
format.
High Accuracy in Tasks Completion
Learning centres with content are assigned learning
portals. Robots are accurately diagnosing fatal illnesses and
operating on patients to preserve their lives. AI systems can
do critical tasks and solve complex solutions and obtain
122 Artificial Intelligence in Academia: Challenges and Prospect for...
accurate results. Because of this advantage, AI is highly
adopting by the healthcare sectors. Robots are accurately
diagnosing fatal illnesses and operating on patients to preserve
their lives. Moreover, AI in healthcare is greatly influenced
radiology and digital consultation applications.”
Although reports indicate that AI programs can be at least
95% accurate on a regular basis, AI programs cannot determine
whether or not the data being analyzed is accurate, so usually
overall accuracy is much lower but normally higher than 80%.
It’s a statistic for forecasting a machine-learning model’s
accuracy.
The degree to which an AI system generates accurate
outputs or predictions given the inputs or data is known as
AI accuracy. An AI system’s accuracy, for instance, can be
measured by looking at the percentage of photos it properly
identifies as belonging to a certain animal species, such as dogs,
cats, birds, etc. Artificial intelligence (AI) has the power to
completely transform the way we teach and learn, improving
accessibility, efficacy, and efficiency.
The tasks that can be completed with AI machines are
more concrete. To further explain this concept, an AI machine
can potentially work much better than a standard employee.
The accuracy especially can be much greater since the repetitive
tasks are learned and deployed at a greater rate. Not only
that, AI machines are creating a much more competitive
environment. AI machines are known to surpass an employee’s
accuracy.
Automates and Improves Work Processes
The field of education has always been dynamic and ever-
evolving. AI is the result of new research, technology, and
the widespread transition from in-person to virtual learning
during limitations.
Artificial intelligence (AI) is recently gaining popularity
in every industry, but how is AI used in Education?
123
Artificial Intelligence in Academia: Challenges and Prospect for...
AI has been a part of education technology for some time,
but is recently gaining widespread adoption. Artificial
intelligence (AI) has the power to completely transform the

enough money and time to re-train the teachers? If so,
how?
 AI implementation questions regarding resources. It
may not be easy to comprehend what budgets,
equipment, and bandwidth is required, and this may
lead to scrapped projects.
To overcome these challenges and begin implementing AI,
you need to answer this question from the outset: The answer
is simple: what do you want from a human being?
However, this is a visionary answer and many
organizations are unclear as to what AI should do for them.
Learn about AI, understand what it can offer, and find out
the issues it can address. Always know that you have to begin
with basic stuff then incorporate the use of AI, get feedback
and then advance.
After asking yourself that question, assessing the needs
and establishing the right approach for implementation could
be very tuff. Know that AI is all about data. That, therefore,
will require identifying existing data sources and any new
sources of data required for the agreed upon AI vision. At
this point in time, you should identify internal resources, and
partners available externally.

and streamline administrative duties, so allowing instructors
to allocate more time towards personalized assistance and
cultivating enhanced student involvement.
AI can utilize tailored learning platforms to evaluate
student data and discern their strengths, limitations, and
preferred learning modes. This enables the development of
personalized learning trajectories that accommodate the
individual requirements and speed of each learner,
guaranteeing optimal understanding and retention of
knowledge.
To summarize, the utilization of artificial intelligence (AI)
in the field of education holds the capacity to individualize
learning experiences, increase accessibility, and enhance
educational achievements for every student. Although ethical
considerations necessitate rigorous scrutiny, the apparent
potential benefits of AI in enhancing the learning experience

Changing Paradigms and
Approaches in Artificial
Intelligence (AI) in Education
Dr. N. Sridhar and Dr. Malliga
Introduction
Artificial Intelligence (AI) is a new and developing
technology that has the power to completely change how
people interact with one another. Nowadays, artificial
intelligence (AI) is a vital component of human life and, more
significantly, permeates every area of modern existence.
Artificial Intelligence (AI) has become a reality and its necessity
has been demonstrated by the twenty-first century. AI has
advanced to the point that it may be applied to a wide range
of fields, including education, business, the media, and
defense-related technical services. The interaction and
application of AI in the classroom will improve teaching and
learning by assisting teachers and students in the process via
robotic technology and sensors. AI is primarily accessed and
delivered via computers, laptops, tablets, iPads, multimedia
mobiles, and other technological devices. There is no single
instrument that is specifically designed to use AI in the
education sector because manufacturers are unlikely to view
education as their sole target market. The field of robotics
has been growing rapidly as a result of advancements in AI.
173
Artificial Intelligence in Academia: Challenges and Prospect for...
Robotics research is being conducted to determine how socially
assistive robots can assist in day-to-day activities such as
guiding shoppers in malls, railway stations, airports,
education, and other aspects of human life (Timms, 2016).
Cobots are robots that collaborate with humans to assist
them in carrying out their tasks and duties. Cobots are robots
designed to assist human teachers in the field of education,
and pupils will receive more tailored instruction. Robots need
higher cognitive abilities and proprioceptive senses supported
by auditory, visual, and touch sensors to perform everyday
tasks with humans. Robots with these high cognitive abilities
must physically perform in classrooms that can detect
surrounding positions and use classroom tools such as
whiteboards, smartboards, and papers, among other things
(Brooks, 2002). The National Strategy on Artificial Intelligence
(NSAI), published by NITI Ayog in 2018, discusses the
potential of AI to solve social problems in agriculture, health,
and education. With the rapid advancement of AI technology,
the debate over AI ethics and governance is constantly
evolving. Several countries and organizations have developed
ethical AI principles, and it is necessary for India to develop
principles that can be implemented across the country (NITI
Ayog, 2021). Researchers in the field of artificial intelligence
(AI) discovered a positive impact on educational implications
such as Intelligent Computer-Assisted Instruction (ICAI)
systems to teach and Computer-Assisted Instruction (CAI) to
develop learning environment and major application as expert
systems to assist educational diagnosis and assessment (Jones,
1985).
Artificial Intelligence (AI): Its Importance and
Applications
“We’re headed for a world where you’re either going to
be able to write algorithms and speak that language or be
replaced by algorithms. “Bridgewater, a billionaire hedge fund
Dalio Ray.
174 Artificial Intelligence in Academia: Challenges and Prospect for...
John McCarthy coined the term Artificial Intelligence (AI)
in 1956, two years after the death of Alan Turing, known as
the father of AI. He was thinking about how a machine can
think and created the Turing machine, which demonstrates
intelligence similar to human beings such as learning, logical
reasoning, and problem-solving, among other things (Singh
and Jain, 2018). AI predicts new scenarios based on a large
amount of historical data, and this is an underutilized sector
(Panigrahi, 2020). The advancement of faster computer
processes, the availability of large amounts of big data, and
advances in computational approaches laid the groundwork
for AI’s renaissance, which is now an integral and inseparable
part of human life. Surprisingly, the more it is integrated into
daily life, the less people think of it as AI (Holmes Bialik &
Fadel, 2019).
Artificial intelligence, or AI, is commonly associated with
sophisticated computer programmes such as voice-activated
smart speakers like Amazon Eco, Google Assistant, and
AirPlay, and email spam filtering that automatically blocks
mobile numbers. Using neural networks to create autonomous
cars without human intervention is another area of AI
development (Holmes, Bialik, & Fadel, 2019). The definition
of artificial intelligence (AI) varies among experts in the field.
For example, Kaplan and Haenlein (2019) defined AI as “A
system’s ability to correctly interpret external data, to learn
from such data, and to use those learnings to achieve specific
goals and tasks through flexible adaptation.” Russell and
Norvig (2019) defined AI as “The study of agents that receive
precepts from the environment and execute.” We discuss
various ways to represent these functions, including
production systems, reactive agents, logical planners, neural
networks, and decision-theoretic systems. Each such agent is
implemented by a function that translates principles to actions
(Russell and Norvig, 2010).
Technology is increasinglydisruptingsociety and humanity
in a variety of ways, including education. With the rapid
175
Artificial Intelligence in Academia: Challenges and Prospect for...
changes that are occurring in the world, such as climate change,
population dynamics, biotechnology, and the expansion of
digital marketing, as well as the growth of machine learning
and artificial intelligence, a robust ecosystem is becoming
increasingly important. This is the fourth industrial revolution,
and disruptive technology such as artificial intelligence has
emerged, lowering costs and improving prediction tasks based
on existing data, which aids professionals in their work. With
the importance of disruptive technology in mind, the National
Policy of Education 2020 proposed studying ethical issues and
discussing disruptive technologies with appropriate instruction
and discussion materials for continuing education (NEP, 2021).
Artificial intelligence, like humans, operates in multiple
dimensions: “The exhilarating new efforts to make computers
think.” “In the full and literal sense, a machine with minds”
(Haugeland, 1985). “The art of creating machines that perform
functions that require intelligence when performed by people”
(Kurzwell, 1990). Thinking Rationally is defined as “the study
of mental faculties using computational models” (Chamlak &
McDermott, 1985). And, according to UNESCO, “Acting
Rationally; Computational Intelligence is the study of the
design of intelligent agents” (Poole et al., 1998).
Artificial Intelligence (AI) in Education
Artificial intelligence, like other technological innovations,
plays an important role in education by improving teaching
and learning, and big data serves as a fuel. Governments and
educational institutions are considering how to prepare
students to thrive in an artificial intelligence-infused future,
as well as the increasing presence of AI in all aspects of human
activity. Artificial intelligence research focuses on intelligence
components such as learning, problem solving, reasoning,
decision making, and language use, among others. UNESCO
(2019).
176 Artificial Intelligence in Academia: Challenges and Prospect for...
Teaching and Learning
According to a study conducted by the research
organization Tracxn, approximately one-tenth (11%) of Indians
who use artificial intelligence (AI) based technology in their
organizations are involved in teaching and learning. Several
AI-based applications for teaching and learning are currently
available (Panigrahi, 2020). As unlimited information and
contents, as well as learning materials, are available on digital
platforms, technology has made limitless knowledge and
information easily accessible to every individual around the
world. Individuals can use AI-based technology to get to their
destination, access the necessary materials, and obtain accurate
data. AI assists teachers in their classrooms by providing
appropriate teaching aids and digital platforms, as well as
reducing workloads through automatic assessment, plagiarism
detection, and feedback, among other things (Holmes, Hui,
Miao, & Ronghuai, 2021). AI will never be able to replace
human teachers, but it can assist them in providing effective
classroom instruction, assignment assessment, grading tests,
and twenty-four-hour academic support to their students
because teachers cannot be available at all times.
It offers virtual mentorship and engages students in
academic activities by tracking attendance and progress and
connecting with students at all times (Sadiku, Ashaolu, Ajayi-
Majebi, & Musa, 2021).
Evaluation and Assessment
“What gets measured gets managed. “Lord Kelvin’s Many
human problems around the world are caused by a lack of
education and a poor education system. An assessment serves
as a foundation for and defines the education that people
receive (Holmes, Bialik, & Fadel, 2019). For a long time, the
process of assessment and evaluation, rather than the entire
examination system, has been a focal point of discussion for
ongoing reform. The education system has seen numerous
reforms since ancient times, even though the current and
177
Artificial Intelligence in Academia: Challenges and Prospect for...
prevailing examination system is stressful and unpleasant and,
with the changing time and nature of the education system,
requires reform. The current situation is different, and in order
to continue the reform process, people have several options
for developing a superior assessment and evaluation.
Artificial intelligence technology is already grading
objective questions like multiple-choice questions (MCQs) but
is working to successfully grade subjective questions like
paragraphs, essays, and statements. Grading through machines
frees up time for teachers to focus on teaching and learning,
as well as providing appropriate guidance to students. As
artificial intelligence technology advances, it can be used for
admission, assignment checking, and homework preparation
(Kengam, 2020).
Artificial Intelligence Legal Issues
The entire world is concerned about the human rights and
legal issues surrounding artificial intelligence (AI) that are
emerging on a daily basis. It includes a lack of algorithmic
lucidity and transparency, cyber security capabilities,
sloppiness, biases and discriminations, legitimate personhood
issues, a lack of possibility for challenge, intellectual property
rights issues, an unfavourable effect on workers, data
protection and fundamental privacy rights issues, the
possibility of harm to persons and vandalism to property, a
lack of accountability for caused destructions, and so on.
Conclusion
Artificial intelligence (AI) is gradually altering the
landscape of the global education system. It enabled continuous
universal access to the classroom for all individuals all over
the world. AI applications are widely used by students and
teachers today. AI promotes distance, open, online, and digital
education while also facilitating personalized learning and
providing universal access to all levels and types of quality
education. In the near future, with the assistance of AI, the
178 Artificial Intelligence in Academia: Challenges and Prospect for...
education system will facilitate a true life-long education
process for all individuals worldwide. Though AI cannot
replace human teachers, it can assist in teaching and learning
to a large extent. There is no way to avoid AI in any aspect
of social or personal life, and the educational system has
already embraced it. Schooling and ongoing education will
help to raise public awareness of potentially disruptive
technologies. This is necessary to raise public awareness about
this technology, and data is the most important fuel for
artificial intelligence. It is also critical to be aware of issues
such as privacy, laws, data handling, and data protection,
among others. Education will be critical in raising awareness
about these issues, particularly ethical concerns and the
advancement of artificial intelligence-based technology.

Application of Artificial
Intelligence (AI) in Education
Atika Kumala Dewi
Introduction
Technology in the modern era is now intrinsic to the
passage of time. The ways in which we live, work, study, and
communicate have all been profoundly impacted by
technological advancements. Constantly improving the
efficiency and usefulness of our daily lives and the things we
do for a living are new forms of innovations (Law, Woo, Torre,
& Wong, 2018).
The field of education has also been impacted by the
development of artificial intelligence. People can study with
the support of educational helpers like bots made possible by
AI systems. Keeping up with the times necessitates that the
educational system respond to new technologies in order to
raise the bar for teaching and learning, particularly in the realm
of information and communication. Artificial intelligence allows
for the presentation of digital learning material that is now
under development. Study aids, material summaries, or brief
notes are some ways that students may now access formerly
inaccessible, dense textbook information. Using AI to support
the manufacturing revolution When it comes to technology-
mediated learning, 4.0 is crucial (Council of Europe, 2001).
181
Artificial Intelligence in Academia: Challenges and Prospect for...
Cognitive activities, such as teaching machines new skills
automatically from pre-programmed data and knowledge, are
at the heart of artificial intelligence (AI), which aims to mimic
human thought processes in computer systems. It is also
possible to understand artificial intelligence A subfield of
computer science, artificial intelligence (AI) enables computers
to mimic human intellect and performance in a variety of tasks
(OECD, 2016). Whether we’ve been aware of it or not, we’ve
used AI in our daily lives. Artificial intelligence has been
integrated into several applications for the benefit of these
applications.
When we talk about AI in this context, we’re referring to
systems that mimic human intelligence in terms of their ability
to reason, plan, and execute tasks. Huge efforts are being made
right now to perfect artificial intelligence (AI) to the point
where it can mimic human intellect and eventually execute
human tasks. The original goal of artificial intelligence (AI)
was to enable computer programs and robots to mimic human
behavior. Obviously to make human labor easier (OECD, 2009).
There are a number of digital platforms that have integrated
AI. One of the main purposes of AI is to facilitate human work.
A number of tech firms have integrated AI, such as Google,
Amazon, Facebook, and Microsoft.
Machines that are programmed to learn and comprehend
reasoning in the same way that people do are known as
artificial intelligence (AI). The complicated human condition
is supposedly amenable to this technological solution. AI relies
on a trifecta of data, repeated processing, and smart algorithms
to function. Because of this, the program may automatically
learn from data characteristics or trends.One may also argue
that artificial intelligence covers a lot of ground.
The educational sector is only one of several that is seeing
the growing influence of AI technology. Particularly in
STEM subjects, the introduction of AI has revolutionized
course offerings. However, AI will also radically alter the
global landscape of education.The field of AI has been making
182 Artificial Intelligence in Academia: Challenges and Prospect for...
headlines as of late. Education is only one area where this
technology plays a significant role in streamlining a variety of
work responsibilities.The field of education may also benefit
from the use of AI. Educators have a much easier and more
thorough time understanding their students’ needs. Also, the
children won’t have any trouble learning what they need.
Many people think that artificial intelligence can improve
human learning and make educational objectives more
attainable. Thus, it should come as no surprise that the learning
process is presently and will continue to be supported by
several AI-based advancements and discoveries.
Consequently, the presence of AI in the education sector causes
worries among instructors. However, this problem must be
met in order for education to persist. Teachers’ ability to work
together with AI to apply learning is one of the strong
convictions that AI cannot replace them. Educators must be
able to effectively use scientific and technological knowledge.
With the use of AI, educators may streamline administrative
tasks related to school management, such as creating lesson
plans, tracking student attendance, documenting learning
results, and creating educational media and materials.The
study’s focus is on AI, or artificial intelligence.
AI serves as a virtual mentor, a role that is becoming
prevalent in many online educational technology platforms.
AI may assess students’ work on practice questions and other
learning activities, and then suggest what they should study
again. Educators often use applications to provide course
materials such as lecture notes, homework, quizzes, and
exams. Applications may also be used for evaluation and testing
purposes. If students are confused about anything, this app
can figure out why and provide answers that the teacher has
already published and designed.
Acquiring information is just one aspect of education.
Learning new information and developing our social skills
are two sides of the same coin in the intricate process that is
education (Barbas-Rhoden et al., 2021). The creation of
183
Artificial Intelligence in Academia: Challenges and Prospect for...
essential human emotions like empathy and compassion is
beyond the capabilities of machines. This suggests that the
function of instructors and educators will remain unreplaceable
by AI, regardless of its sophistication or the number of
instances of its use. AI can only assist and enable educators
in creating an engaging learning environment for their
students. Whether in a classroom setting or via independent
study, information technology plays an important role in
facilitating learning. Artificial intelligence will play a larger
role in educational pursuits going forward. AI has the potential
to revolutionize the way learning materials are presented,
assessments are administered, and feedback is given. Many
different types of instructional technology have begun to
include AI.
Many digital libraries, including those at public, academic,
and educational institutions, are already making use of this
technology. People may customize it so that it reminds things
like course progress, upcoming materials, test accumulation,
overall scores, related course suggestions, and more. Schools
and institutions with international programs may benefit from
AI-based solutions by developing curriculum-based lessons
and providing students with personalized learning
experiences. Teachers and tutors may save time and effort by
making use of these capabilities when they create and
administer exams and quizzes. Tutors and teachers may now
save time by not having to manually create and edit questions.
With the help of AI, learning patterns have become much more
practical and effective, and the quality of both has been greatly
improved. With the use of AI, educational institutions may
design more tailored lessons for their students. There are many
different kinds of games, but all of them have one thing in
common: they aim to teach players something.
AI may aid in the detection of exceptional abilities as well
as learning disabilities experienced by students. In artificial
intelligence systems, learning is based on technology and is
individualized to help students become more self-reliant,
184 Artificial Intelligence in Academia: Challenges and Prospect for...
which in turn improves their learning experience. AI learning
that places an emphasis on certain systems has the potential
to sharpen students’ attention. AI has the ability to recognize
topics that students struggle with, allowing it to adapt and
discover new methods to enhance their learning. Thus, AI
may be used to assess the best technique to instruct students.
This gives the instructor a chance to focus on the subject chosen.
Enhanced participation. Students are more actively involved
in their own learning when they use modern technology like
gamification and virtual reality. Through the use of various
AI-enabled algorithms, users’ knowledge and interests may
be analyzed to provide more tailored training programs and
suggestions. 3) Curriculum development that is automated.
Growth in artificial intelligence has enormous positive effects
on the lives of educators. Developing a course outline from
the ground up is not necessary at this time.
Teachers will not need a deep understanding of technology
to create media or educational materials thanks to AI.
Educators need just sift and choose from the various accessible
tools and platforms to meet their individual requirements.
When it comes to grading, AI has made it so that educators
may spend less time on the task. Without the need for the
instructor to manually analyze each item, automated
assessment of student assignments is now possible. Using AI
in the classroom also allows for immediate feedback to
students in the form of grades. The time it takes to determine
their worth is short. If teachers are able to reduce the amount
of time spent evaluating their students, they will have more
time to devote to really teaching and learning.
AI allows for the execution of learning tasks at any time.
Opportunities to learn are no longer constrained by time or
place, thanks to AI-based technologies. Furthermore, students
are not limited to just having the option of working with
instructors at their school. Because there are so many
“teachers” on this online platform, kids may interact with
educators all around the world, even those in different nations.
185
Artificial Intelligence in Academia: Challenges and Prospect for...
Improved learning experiences and skills for students are
definitely within the realm of possibility. AI provides to be
an invaluable tool in the field of education, especially in the
current pandemic scenario when online learning has become
mandatory. In order to keep learning going, traditional
classroom activities are being replaced by online ones. This is
to make it easier to provide knowledge, communicate with
students, and keep the conversation going. AI has the potential
to greatly improve and adapt education to meet the needs of
modern society.
Teachers can now move to a level where they enlighten
students with substantial keywords and, most importantly,
return to what is essential. We must uphold the moral
education that is taught.The learning process has to be
innovative and creative to meet the changing demands of
education. As AI becomes more widely used in the education
sector, it will be able to assist with a wide range of routine
tasks, including instruction and assessment.As a result, the
intellect of a teacher is second to none, much as that of a
naturally gifted instructor. On the other hand, a gift requires
the best care possible. The development of AI coincides with
the rise of the industrial revolution, which in turn was a product
of the inventive spirit and innate intellect of humans. This
means that they will never be on equal ground when
compared. The combination of artificial and natural intelligence
may provide flawless results. With the advancement of science
and technology in the future, technological gadgets will be
able to take over many of the tasks now performed by
teachers, including taking attendance, correcting student work,
administering quizzes and examinations on a regular basis,
explaining concepts, creating administrative reports, and more.
In order to produce a golden generation that surpasses
machines in intellect, character, and quality, teachers may
conserve energy and devote more time to non-systemic tasks.
186 Artificial Intelligence in Academia: Challenges and Prospect for...
Although AI has the potential to educate students, it is
unable to foster personal growth. That is the role of a teacher.
How to encourage, inspire, and mold students into excellent
learners. Since AI is not endowed with sentiments and emotions
like humans, it cannot replace teachers in their roles of
motivating, inspiring, and molding character. Ultimately,
keeping up with technological innovations requires the ability
to adapt. Technology may one day displace us as educators
(teachers/lecturers) if we do not adapt.

  • 13. 1 Artificial Intelligence in Academia: Challenges and Prospect for... 1 The Synergy of Artificial Intelligence and Teachers in Education Dr. M. Arunasalam ‘The development of full artificial intelligence could spell the end of the human race.’ - Stephen Hawking. Introduction Artificial intelligence and human teachers are not the only options for education in the future. Rather, it appears to be a potential collaboration in which each brings special talents to the table to create a synergy. In terms of scalability, personification and data-driven decision-making, AI opens up new possibilities in education. It could result in more effective, customized, and inclusive educational opportunities. It also doesn’t lessen the importance of teachers, who play an indispensable role in society. What it means to be a true educator is rooted in their capacity for empathy, creativity, quick decision-making, and inspiring and mentoring students. The difficulty is to combine the best aspects of both worlds: the sophisticated powers of AI with the distinctive human traits of educators. Teachers can establish a dynamic, captivating, and productive learning environment for every student by achieving this balance. Thus, let’s not see instructors as being threatened by AI. Rather, the teachers have to
  • 14. 2 Artificial Intelligence in Academia: Challenges and Prospect for... welcome it as a potent instrument and collaborator in the joint endeavor to enhance education. Teachers will continue to be at the center of education, guiding pupils toward a world of limitless possibilities with their skilled navigation and moral application of AI. Artificial Intelligence The term “Artificial Intelligence” (AI) was coined by John McCarthy, an American computer scientist, in 1956. McCarthy organized the Dartmouth Conference, where the term was officially used to describe the field of study and research that aimed to create machines capable of intelligent behavior. John McCarthy is considered one of the founding fathers of artificial intelligence, and his work laid the groundwork for the development and exploration of AI as a scientific and technological discipline.Top of Form Artificial Intelligence in Education Everybody believes that education is important, and having a good education is essential to living a successful life. Many changes are always being made in education systems all over the world to better serve students. These changes might range from curriculum types to teaching methods. The world is changing due to the burgeoning technology of artificial intelligence, which is applied in practically every industry. Education is one area where artificial intelligence has the potential to significantly alter things.
  • 15. 3 Artificial Intelligence in Academia: Challenges and Prospect for... The application of artificial intelligence in education is creating novel approaches to learning and teaching in various contexts. These days, AI is being applied by universities and colleges in several nations. AI in education has offered educators, parents, students, and educational institutions alike a whole new way of viewing the field of education. AI in education is not about humanoid robots as a teacher to replace human teachers, but it is about using computer intelligence to help teachers and students and making the education system much better and effective. Many AI tools will be available in the education system in the future, influencing how students learn in the future. We shall talk about the use of artificial intelligence in education in this topic. Overview of AIED (Artificial Intelligence in Education) Artificial Intelligence (AI) is the process of imitating human intelligence in a computer system to enable it to behave and think like a person. This technique enables a computer system to think similarly to a person. The goal of artificial intelligence is to behave like humans. AI has many applications and uses in a variety of fields, including education. In the 1970s, AIED has occurred as a specialist area to cover new technology to teaching & learning, specifically for higher education. The main aim of AIED is to facilitate the learners with flexible, personalized, and engaging learning along with the basic automated task. Some popular trends in AIED include Intelligent tutor systems, smart classroom technologies, adaptive learning, and pedagogical agents. Below diagram shows the relationship between all these trends:
  • 16. 4 Artificial Intelligence in Academia: Challenges and Prospect for... Applications/roles of Artificial Intelligence in Education 1. Automate basic activities in education with AI Teachers’ time is heavily consumed by a number of tasks in the educational system, including marking tests and assigning homework. These assignments take a lot of time and energy, which may be better spent engaging with
  • 17. 5 Artificial Intelligence in Academia: Challenges and Prospect for... students, pointing out their mistakes, imparting new knowledge, and many other things. Artificial Intelligence can be used to save this time. Nearly all forms of multiple-choice questions (MCQs) and fill-in-the- blank questions can have their grading processes automated with the use of artificial intelligence (AI) tools, and the ability to assess written responses is not far behind. Though it’s getting better every day, AI can’t yet completely replace human grading. Teachers will have more time to fill in the gaps in their classrooms by utilizing AI. 2. Additional support for students with AI tutor Given that college professors have set schedules; it is evident that they are unable to spend all of their time with students while they are studying. However, no student is intelligent enough to understand everything at once, thus they require extra assistance from someone to help them understand the study material. The AI tutors can offer this further assistance. These days, children can get assistance from a variety of AI-driven tutoring tools to master the fundamentals of writing, math, and other topics. Students can learn the basics using these AI systems, but they are not appropriate for teaching advanced concepts in any field. Students yet need a lecturer to help them understand such difficult concepts. But in the future, it’s feasible that AI 3. Helpful feedback to students and teachers with AI- driven programs Artificial Intelligence (AI) is not only assisting students in learning tailored courses that meet their needs, but it can also provide feedback to professors and students regarding the course’s success rate. These feedback-based AI systems are presently being used by several online course providers to analyze student progress and notify instructors of any serious performance issues. Professors may identify areas of instruction that need improvement and students can receive
  • 18. 6 Artificial Intelligence in Academia: Challenges and Prospect for... the necessary support thanks to these AI-driven solutions. Students who receive immediate feedback are better able to identify areas for improvement and learn from their mistakes. 4. Finding improvement required in course with AI It is quite difficult to identify learning gaps in the educational system. In addition to having a limited amount of time to educate in the classroom, teachers might not always be aware of the conceptual gaps in their students’ knowledge. AI-driven systems can assist the educational system in resolving this issue. Artificial intelligence (AI)-driven programs are already in use on Coursera and a few other learning sites. For instance, the system notifies the teacher when a significant portion of the student body turns in an incorrect homework assignment, and it provides future students with a personalized message that provides pointers for the right answer. These kinds of programs guarantee that every student thoroughly grasps the material and assist in bridging any learning gaps that may arise during a course. With artificial intelligence (AI), students receive instantaneous system-generated responses rather than waiting for feedback from the instructor. This helps them comprehend concepts, learn from their mistakes, and improve their performance in the future. 5. AI could change the role of the teacher Teachers will always play a vital part in the educational system, but as new technologies emerge, so too may the demands placed on them. As mentioned in the previous paragraphs, artificial intelligence may assist students in their learning, grade assignments, write reports, and in certain situations, act as a genuine tutor. AI can be used in a variety of educational contexts. Artificial intelligence (AI) systems can be configured to offer students’ knowledge, to act as a forum for students to ask questions, and to supplement teachers in delivering lessons based on course materials. In these situations, AI may alter the facilitator role of the teacher.
  • 19. 7 Artificial Intelligence in Academia: Challenges and Prospect for... 6. Personalize education with AI Artificial Intelligence in Education’s primary goal is not to replace teachers entirely. Rather, it seeks to serve as a supportive arm for both educators and learners. Students can receive individualized instruction from AI systems. Each learner can study in a method that best suits their needs and comprehension level with individualized learning. Teachers are able to create a customized study plan for each student by having a thorough awareness of their needs. With artificial intelligence (AI) advancing daily, it’s likely that machines may be able to read students’ facial expressions during concept learning to determine whether they’re having trouble understanding the material and adjust their instruction accordingly. Though such things are currently unfeasible, AI- powered hardware and software may make them so in the near future. 7. Generating Smart content with AI With AI, it is possible to generate smart content in three ways: a. Digital Lessons: Nowadays, everything is becoming digital, and so the education. Digital learning is being preferred in colleges with customization options, e- books, study guides, bite-sized lessons, and many other things with the help of AI. b. Information Visualization: Visualizing things rather than listening is much more efficient to understand in a better way and keep in mind for a long time. With Artificial Intelligence, the study information can be perceived in new ways of visualization, simulation, web-based study environment. c. Learning content Updates: Moreover, AI also helps in preparing the content of lessons, keeping information up to date, and make it adaptable as per different learning curves.
  • 20. 8 Artificial Intelligence in Academia: Challenges and Prospect for... 8. Ensure Access to Education for Students with Special Needs For students with learning disabilities, such as those who are deaf or hard of hearing, visually impaired, etc., life is full with problems. These pupils could run into a number of challenges when they’re learning and studying. They also require more time and attention. There will be new methods to engage with these pupils as cutting-edge AI technology is used. It is possible to successfully train AI-enabled tools to assist a group of special needs pupils. 9. Universal Access Universal access to study materials is one of the many educational applications of artificial intelligence in digital learning. Every learner has a unique grasping capacity, and they can study at any time and from any location by utilizing universal access. Without having to wait for the tutor, students can investigate topics whenever they wish to learn. Additionally, students can access top-notch instruction and resources from around the globe at their convenience without having to leave their house. Future of AI in Education As per the researches, in the near future, AI in education will step in three main ways, which are: 1. Performance personification With day-by-day development in AI technology and computing power, it will be possible to create personification curricula through collecting and generalizing the information. Various new AI solution such as “Bright space insights” helps the instructor to track, measure, and monitor the progress of learners, and also help them in this learning journey. It provides a complete picture of the learning journey of a learner across the platform.
  • 21. 9 Artificial Intelligence in Academia: Challenges and Prospect for... 2. Evaluation Human bias has always remained a hindrance in the education system and also an issue in AI tools. In future, AI in education will find new solutions that can evaluate work and tests exams using established criteria in order to eliminate bias. 3. Combined Assistance Professors/teachers in colleges usually have masters in their field and have a degree in specific areas of development. But the administrative work is often a frustrating attempt at approchement with students. AI in education can solve this problem in the future with smart classrooms with AI assistance who can provide necessary help to the teachers to give their best. AI as a supportive tool in Education Artificial intelligence (AI) can play a valuable role in assisting education by enhancing various aspects of the learning process. Here are several ways in which AI can be used as a supportive tool in education: 1. Personalized Learning: AI can analyze individual learning patterns and preferences to tailor educational content to each student’s needs. This personalized approach helps students learn at their own pace and focus on areas where they need more support. 2. Adaptive Learning Platforms: AI-powered adaptive learning platforms can adjust the difficulty of tasks based on a student’s performance. This ensures that students are consistently challenged at an appropriate level, promoting continuous learning and growth. 3. Automated Grading and Feedback: AI can automate the grading process for assignments and assessments, providing timely and consistent feedback to students.
  • 22. 10 Artificial Intelligence in Academia: Challenges and Prospect for... This not only saves time for teachers but also allows students to receive immediate guidance on their work. 4. Virtual Tutors and Assistants: AI-driven virtual tutors can provide additional support to students outside of regular classroom hours. These virtual assistants can answer questions, explain concepts, and offer guidance on assignments. 5. Language Learning Apps: AI-powered language learning apps can adapt to an individual’s proficiency level, adjusting the difficulty of exercises and providing targeted practice in areas that need improvement. Some apps also use speech recognition technology for language pronunciation practice. 6. Data Analytic for Student Performance:AI can analyze large sets of data to identify patterns and trends in student performance. This information can help educators make data-driven decisions to improve teaching strategies and curriculum design. 7. Interactive Educational Content: AI can enhance the interactivity of educational content, making it more engaging for students. This includes interactive simulations, virtual reality experiences, and gamified learning platforms. 8. Assistive Technology for Special Needs: AI can be used to develop assistive technologies that support students with special needs. For example, speech-to- text and text-to-speech applications can assist students with dyslexia or other learning challenges. 9. Automated Administrative Tasks: AI can streamline administrative tasks for educators, allowing them to focus more on teaching. This includes tasks such as scheduling, attendance tracking, and resource allocation.
  • 23. 11 Artificial Intelligence in Academia: Challenges and Prospect for... 10. Predictive Analytic for Early Intervention: By analyzing historical data, AI can predict potential challenges or areas where students may struggle. This allows educators to intervene early, providing targeted support to help students overcome obstacles. Conclusion Artificial intelligence is becoming more and more prevalent in many areas of our lives every day. Artificial Intelligence (AI) has begun to make an impact in the field of education, enhancing the learning process and serving as a useful tool for both teachers and students. However, not all universities have fully embraced the use of AI in education, and it will take time for this to change. Nonetheless, research indicates that AI will benefit the education industry soon. Though its true educational potential has not yet materialized, it is revolutionizing the education sector at the moment. Additionally, while computer-based learning can be very beneficial, technology is unlikely to completely replace in- person instruction in schools. Reference: Billett, S. (2018).

Through the analysis of student behavior and reactions, the system provides insights into areas where a student may excel, guiding them toward suitable career options. Limitations AI systems may struggle to foster creativity and critical thinking skills, as these are often nuanced and difficult to measure. The emphasis on standardized testing and quantifiable outcomes may overlook these essential aspects of education. Despite AI’s capability for personalized learning, some AI systems may struggle to truly understand the unique needs, emotions, and learning styles of individual students. AI in education involves the collection and analysis of vast amounts of student data. Ensuring the privacy and security of this data is crucial, and there is a risk of sensitive information falling into the wrong hands or being misused. Access to advanced AI tools and technologies may not be uniform across all educational institutions or regions. This creates a digital divide where students in less privileged areas may not have the same opportunities to benefit from AI- enhanced education. Implementing AI in education requires teachers to adapt to new technologies. Lack of adequate training and potential resistance from educators can hinder the effective integration of AI into the classroom. Implementing AI technologies often involves significant upfront costs for schools and educational institutions. Additionally, maintaining and updating the infrastructure to support AI applications can be financially challenging.

The use of digital tools and AI for interaction with students involves the creation of online platforms for quick and easy access to digitized materials (OERs, MOOCs), communication with teachers, remote interaction between students, project work, remote access to laboratory equipment and research centres, simulations, solving organisational issues, testing, control, etc. Modular cross-platform systems are being developed in which students can independently choose subjects without being tied to an educational institution and receive access to a maximum number of services and materials online (Dhawal, 2020). Thus, one of the key areas in the development of remote education is massive open online courses (MOOCs) – web-based courses with large-scale interactive participation and open access via the Internet. Conclusion: In conclusion, this chapter highlights the transformative potential of AI in reshaping teaching methodologies. While challenges exist, the benefits of personalized, adaptive, and efficient learning experiences are substantial. Undoubtedly, ChatGPT and other generative AI is already pushing educational boundaries and initiating a significant paradigm shift in existing educational praxis. Since its introduction to the public in 2022, educators have written extensively about potential implications for teachers, students, and policy. Some educators have already started testing the efficiency of ChatGPT by integrating it in their educational activities (e.g., research, teaching, assessment) and found that through automation of certain tasks and processes, ChatGPT is able to save time for other important activities like spending more time with students (Alshater, 2022; Terwiesch, 2023). The key lies in a collaborative approach where educators and AI work together to create a harmonious and effective educational environment for the 21st century learner. As we navigate this

Amuthavalli Introduction: Teachers will not be replaced by technology, but teachers who do not use technology will be replaced by those who do. - Hari Krishna Arya For years, experts have warned against the unanticipated effects of general artificial intelligence (AI) on society, predicting that by 2029 intelligent machines will be able to outsmart human beings. According to Stephen Hawking, “once humans develop full AI, it will take off on its own and redesign itself at an ever- increasing rate.” Elon Musk fears that artificial intelligence may pose a “fundamental risk to the survival of human civilization.” If the problems of incorporating AI in manufacturing and service operations, i.e. usingsmart machines, are smaller because ‘faults’ can be identified relatively quickly and do not have a significant impact on society, then incorporating AI in society, particularly in the educational process, is a high-risk venture that requires careful planning. Mistakes in this endeavor could have devastating and long-term effects, as the results will not be seen for many years.
  • 55. 43 Artificial Intelligence in Academia: Challenges and Prospect for... The findings that have emerged in the nexus of the disciplines of philosophy (ethics), artificial intelligence, and pedagogy (education) provide the scientific foundation for these concepts and queries. The results of writers like Turing, Bostrom, Rahwan, Kurzweil, and others will serve as the foundation for our investigation. Furthermore, the European AI Alliance, which the European Commission established at the start of 2018, serves as the foundation for this concept. The two primary documents are the Coordinated Plan on Artificial Intelligence and Artificial Intelligence for Europe 1. What is Artificial intelligence? The intelligence of computers or software, as opposed to the intellect of people or animals, is known as Artificial Intelligence (AI). It is a field of study in computer science which develops and studies intelligent machines. Such machines may be called AIs. The first significant researcher in the topic he named “machine intelligence” was Alan Turing. The academic field of artificial intelligence was established in 1956.The field saw several cycles of hope, disappointment, and funding loss. Funding and interest skyrocketed in 2012 when deep learning outperformed all earlier AI techniques, and again in 2017 with the introduction of the transformer architecture. As a result, the United States dominated businesses, academic institutions, and research facilities that spearheaded important advancements in artificial intelligence throughout the AI spring of the 2020s. The many sub-fields of AI study are focused on specific objectives and the use of certain instruments. Reasoning, knowledge representation, planning, learning, natural language processing, sensing, and support for robotics are among the traditional objectives of AI study.One of the long- term objectives of the area is general intelligence, or the capacity to accomplish any task that a human can undertake. Artificial Intelligence (AI) researchers have employed a diverse
  • 56. 44 Artificial Intelligence in Academia: Challenges and Prospect for... array of problem-solving methodologies, including as formal logic, artificial neural networks, search and mathematical optimization, statistics, operations research, and economics, to address these challenges.AI also incorporates ideas from philosophy, linguistics, psychology, neurology, and many other disciplines. Artificial intelligence and learning A long-term objective of machine learning research is to construct an artificial system that is capable of matching or even exceeding human intellect, a goal that now appears unattainable. Artificial intelligence is the term for a broader field of study with the same eventual objective. Research on artificial intelligence (AI) focuses on creating systems that behave somewhat intelligently and can handle challenging tasks. These techniques frequently mimic how people solve problems. Knowledge representation, natural language comprehension, automatic reasoning and theorem proving, logic programming, qualitative modelling, expert systems, gaming, heuristic problem solving, artificial senses, robotics, and cognitive modelling are some of the AI fields beyond machine learning. Algorithms for machine learning are fundamental to all branches of AI. Learning must be incorporated almost everywhere. The systems can learn and become more proficient in heuristic problem solving, language comprehension, perception, reasoning, and theorem proving, among other areas, by employing learning approaches. Inductive logic programming, which builds logic programs from target relation examples, and logic programming are closely related fields. Machine learning techniques are also employed in qualitative modelling to create descriptions of complicated models from real-world examples of target system behavior. Machine learning can be used to create a knowledge base for expert system development by using training examples of issues that have been addressed. It is certain that
  • 57. 45 Artificial Intelligence in Academia: Challenges and Prospect for... intelligent robots will need to refine their methods for addressing problems through learning. Finally, cognitive modelling is practically impossible without taking into account learning algorithms. Natural learning People learn things their entire lives. Since we learn something new almost every day, our knowledge is constantly expanding, changing, and getting better. Animals are capable of learning, just as us. The evaluative stage of a species determines its capacity for learning. The field of educational psychology and the psychology of learning is concerned with the study and interpretation of natural learning. The former looks into and evaluates learning ideas and skills. Conversely, the latter studies how people learn and are educated and seeks to enhance the outcomes of learning processes. A good educational process, according to educational psychology, depends critically on factors like motivation, fatigue, and attention. It also carefully evaluates the relationship between the teacher and the students and offers a variety of rewarding and motivational techniques. While all of things are crucial for human learning, they are not nearly as crucial for (modern) machine learning. Learning, intelligence, consciousness As we’ve already established, intelligence is the capacity to both solve issues and adapt to one’s surroundings. But learning on its own is insufficient. A system needs certain capacities, such enough memory, the ability to reason (processing), the ability to perceive (input and output), etc., in order to be able to learn. If these skills are improperly integrated or do not have a suitable learning process, they are insufficient. Furthermore, some prior information is necessary for effective learning and is inherited in living systems. As a result of the system’s increased abilities from learning, its intelligence likewise grows.
  • 58. 46 Artificial Intelligence in Academia: Challenges and Prospect for... The amount of intelligence Because we must take into account a variety of intelligences (abilities), including numerical, textual, semantic, visual, spatial, motor, memory, perceptual, inductive, and deductive, systems cannot be rigidly ranked according to the quantity of intelligence. Even emotional intelligence has gained widespread recognition recently. Over a hundred different forms of human intelligence are described by some authors. Both human and computer systems can exhibit superior intelligence in certain domains and inferior intelligence in others. When we talk about artificial intelligence, we don’t anticipate an intelligent system to be exceptionally proficient in a single, limited area of intelligence, such memory size, calculation speed, space search speed, or (almost ideal) game playing. In every one of these areas, modern computers are already rather sophisticated. We anticipate that an intelligent system will be (at least partially) intelligent in any domain where human problem solving is prevalent. In order to be able to move between different types of intelligence correctly during issue solving, it appears that we need to integrate all of the different types of intelligence into a single sensible whole (a sort of supervisory system). However, the majority of ideas pertaining to artificial intelligence fail to take consciousness into account, even though it seems like a reasonable candidate for the supervisory system.

Advantages of Artificial Intelligence in Education These days, people are capable of incredible feats thanks to everyday technological advancements. Artificial intelligence (AI) is one such development that allows for personalized learning by providing intelligent information on your digital devices at the exact moment you need it. Let’s focus on the benefits that artificial intelligence offers the education industry. Organized Information Beyond the applications of AI in education, there are many other benefits for students of artificial intelligence. Teachers and educators throughout the world have been using these intelligent devices’ exceptional skills—like their ability to continuously feed knowledge from a range of sources—to improve student performance. Artificial intelligence (AI) systems are also being employed in classrooms worldwide more and more because of their ability to absorb information thoroughly, which helps students learn more quickly and efficiently. Artificial intelligence (AI) applications assist students find solutions and answers via easily accessible dictionaries like Google scholar, as well as educational films and material. This greatly reduces the gaps in educational resources when using traditional ways like books and lectures. Personalized Education The field of education is undergoing a transformation thanks to artificial intelligence. One method to see this shift is through personalized learning, which creates programs and activities for students based on information from student data that are especially catered to their needs and interests. Thanks to advances in artificial intelligence, tech companies such as Google can now collect vast amounts of data about individual customer preferences. This enables them to deliver
  • 61. 49 Artificial Intelligence in Academia: Challenges and Prospect for... personalized content that exceeds past expectations and keeps people on an app or website longer. Massive help for Students with Special Needs Artificial intelligence can be used to helppupils with specific requirements because of its flexibility. Because some students may not participate in class, teachers may overlook critical nuances while teaching a large group. The AI works with each student individually to ensure that they are learning at their best rate and also provides them with additional one-on-one time with teachers. Integrated Learning Immersive learning is one of the numerous educational possibilities and advantages of artificial Intelligence offered. Ergo, students are provided with real-world experiences they can use on a regular basis outside of class and are given more influence over how they learn. The exponential growth of artificial intelligence in our culture will change education. Especially when you take into account how restricted humans are in comparison to AI’s abilities to assimilate information at an incredibly fast rate while doing accurate computations without making mistakes or growing weary. Intelligent Tutoring System Intelligent tutoring systems (ITSs) are one of the cutting- edge applications that demonstrate the benefits of artificial intelligence in the educational setting. ITSs employ computer- based learning environments to help students learn, practice, or master new skills by providing personalized instruction based on how adept they are with a certain topic or skill set. Personalized feedback provides students with quick feedback on how well they grasp subjects presented in class and allows them to compare their performance to the rest of their peers who are learning in a virtual environment.
  • 62. 50 Artificial Intelligence in Academia: Challenges and Prospect for... Virtual Reality Learning Because of technological advancements, students today feel more connected to and interested in their education. Virtual reality courses that allow users to learn while immersed in a new setting or scenario, such as having access to top institutions around the world without ever leaving your seat, have transformed this sector of education, and the AI application is to blame. Virtual reality will allow students to interact more fully with their course material in the future. Software for Grading Essays The key benefits of artificial intelligence in education are the speed and accuracywith which paper assessors can evaluate papers. Despite the fact that technology is still in its infancy, AI has various potential uses, one of which is the use of AI- driven software to assess student writings. Raising Academic Standards and Educational Quality Artificial intelligence offers a cutting-edge way to increasing student participation in educational courses at all levels. Artificial intelligence may update the course content, provide quick feedback, and determine the level of student involvement using interactive learning approaches that are not currently available in educational institutions. Artificial intelligence can improve the way we teach by providing students with a different educational experience than they would otherwise receive.They can access materials outside of their usual classes and receive real-time feedback through AI engagement. Lower Human Error Many previously manual operations have been mechanized as a result of technological breakthroughs. One example is how artificial intelligence (AI) has reduced human errors in the field of education while judging tests and homework assignments.
  • 63. 51 Artificial Intelligence in Academia: Challenges and Prospect for... Conclusion In conclusion, the implementation of AI in education marks a transformative stride towards a more dynamic and personalized learning experience. Through intelligent systems, students benefit from tailored content delivery, adaptive assessments, and enhanced engagement. AI fosters a collaborative environment, equipping educators with valuable insights to tailor their teaching methodologies. However, challenges such as ethical considerations and the need for ongoing professional development should not be overlooked. As we navigate this frontier, it is imperative to strike a balance between technological integration and preserving the invaluable human touch in education, ensuring that AI serves as an enabler for a more effective and inclusive learning journey.

A-I has been used successfully and efficiently in business, customer service work, transport, fraud detection and in the field of quality control. There are many areas in which A-I is used. And it is true that A-I can perform any task better than humans. A-I is powered and personal assistants. For example- Siri, Google Assistant and Amazon Alexa. These are included in smart phones which can perform many tasks automatically. These are devices which perform the tasks such as – setting reminders and sending messages for playing the music and can also control the other smart phones devices. A-I learning is also valuable in transportation applications. Companies can be helped by improving their efficiency for the routes so that they can predict the traffic. If, we look into the recent past the rise of online education has revolutionized the language learning process. Same is with AI, the developments in AI technology has brought a turning point in education. If, we study with AI technology, which is
  • 65. 53 Artificial Intelligence in Academia: Challenges and Prospect for... an emerging technology that enables us a variety of constructive features in apps. AI powered language are combined with the use of neural network capabilities which results in a new era of education for students as well as teachers. But, how can you use AI for improving the learning outcomes for students, that is the question. Machine learning (ML) is the part of AI that allows the system to become more effective for performing any task and for making of the decisions. AI is a kind of learning which uses algorithms designing for replacing the human brain. There are hundreds of algorithms which helps AI for mastering the foreign languages. For instance, the Decision Tree algorithm helps AI to make the smart and data driven decisions. There are three main algorithms which are used for learning any language. For example- NLP (Natural language processing), Collocation Extraction and Point Mutual information(PMI). Where NLP allows machines to read and understand human language or brain. And Collocation extraction has been used for retrieving the information, for classifying the documents and also for solving the problems of language generation. These platforms can analyze student’s data for tailoring the lesson plans, making the language learning effectual. AI can break down the language ‘s barriers by many methods which make language education more reachable to a global audience. So, in this paper, we will discuss about the exploration and acquisition for the basic knowledge about AI. This paper will conclude about the benefits of A-I along with many apps which are useful for learning of languages. It also describes about the technical challenges, what it faces in real world. A-I language learning apps are becoming popular because of the ability to be used by the individual’s needs and preferences. These apps also use machine learning algorithms to analyze the progress and for providing the feedback and suggestions.
  • 66. 54 Artificial Intelligence in Academia: Challenges and Prospect for... Benefits of Artificial Intelligence A-I algorithms have the potential for the advancement of e- Learning in every field. In companies A-I can be used for training of the employees. And individual learners can use A- I language learning for studying any type of subject. Whereas, schools and colleges can employ for student’s opportunities. Here are some of the benefits of Artificial Intelligence. Adapting as per the students’ needs The main benefit of A-I is based on the individual’s need. When a teacher is teaching to the class. It is impossible for a teacher in such a way that can suit to all the learners. By the help of A-I, the needs of each individual student can be fulfilled. Educators can collect useful data about the learners, their styles and also about their abilities. This data can also predict about the future performance about the learners. It also provides platforms for users to work as per their own requirements. A-I can also repeat the topics, it can engage the learners and can also consider the factors of their cultural background. Providing of Immediate Feedback If, we try to give the feedback traditionally, it can take much time. Because, it is slower in response. Where, teachers read and grade the students work and take some times to give the results. But, in artificial intelligence in language learning, feedback is instant. A-I gives grades tests and evaluate automatically after the submission. It can point out the error and can also fix them. Consequently, students can take the instant actions to rectify their mistakes and can avoid them in future. A-I can also help teachers to pinpoint the weakness in the curriculum. By the help of A-I, they can identify the misleading questions and can improve it after identifying the needs.
  • 67. 55 Artificial Intelligence in Academia: Challenges and Prospect for... No panic of flaw Making the errors is natural part in education. It can affect the process negatively. Students who are ashamed of the mistakes, knowledge gaps and low grades which can result in disengagement of the students with studying. A-I for language learning does not let repent or embarrass them in front of the class. So, A-I simply evaluates the learners. A Redefined role for teachers A-I can replace human teachers completely. It can also redefine the role of a teacher. A-I can carry out the grading, paper work and other administrative work quickly and with more efficiency. It can allow teachers for more learning processes and can guide the students. Deep involvement in the learning process It is because of AI, that students can study anywhere as per their wish. They can set their goals as per the requirements. And can follow a customized syllabus. A-I, can also engage in games, quizzes and in other activities that can tailor the syllabus as per the needs and concern of the students. How does different language learning use AI? There are many language learning apps and each has its own model and processes. 1. Phase 6 It is a German Company which offers a leading language learning app that is mostly used by schools and universities. Initially, Phase 6 was available as a desktop solution and the company had to adapt the growing demand for mobile language learning. Intellias has helped Phase 6 for developing a scaling backend with mobile access. If AI is with algorithms, this app will provide a smart vocabulary trainer along with progress report.

Duolingo has chatbots which is fluent in 36 languages. And each of the user of chatbot will employ the machine learning for recognizing the voice and speech patterns of the user’s. This will enable the automatic reading, writing and speaking tests for the users. And it will allow grade the learners on the base of their grades. Rosetta Stone If, we date back to the early 1990s, we will find the Rosetta Stone brand and that pave the way for learning of the language software. By using the ML technology, increased reality and translation, the Rossetta Stone app is the latest iteration of the software. It can help to recognize the own speech system. This app can scan the objects with the help of camera and can translate the content in different types of languages. Mondly This app offers courses in almost forty thousand languages and can make the use of images which can integrate reality and VR. Users can get connected to the real world situations to the learning experiences. Babbel It is a German app and also e Learning platform. Babbel app offers courses in 14 languages. It employs to recognize the speech, tailored assessments and grading algorithms which are based on the spaced replication. This app also reminds the users of different words and phrases. Busuu This is Spansish app. Busuu uses AI and provide one on one tutoring to teach users based on the choices of 12
  • 69. 57 Artificial Intelligence in Academia: Challenges and Prospect for... languages. Busuu incorporates with Google Assistant for enabling the live conversations and lately launched an app for the virtual reality (VR). Memrise It is British app. It applies a bespoke object for recognizing algorithm to identify images from the camera of users and can name the objects from the chosen language. It also engages smart chatbots that will interact with its users in 23 languages. Chat GPT It is a famous app which is free and for the general purposes. It is extremely popular since 2022. It also offers the conversation and would help in writing of the text. It also has applications for learning of a language. You just ask Chat GPT to translate any text into any language and it will provide the exact results. Difficulties of A –I in Language Learning If we take the consideration of A-I powered language learning tools. Users can be aware of that how their data has been used and stored. And they can be comfortable with the level of data collection. Technological Boundaries A-I has made the noteworthy advancements in learning of a language. There are still the limitations of technology. For instance- A-I finds difficulties to understand the nuances of composite languages, colloquial language and cultural context which can also affect the value of learning experiences. The Role of Human Interaction- Though, there are many benefits of A-I language learning. But, still we cannot overlook the interaction of humans for learning of languages. If we connect with the native speakers and engages in the conversation and can immerse oneself in
  • 70. 58 Artificial Intelligence in Academia: Challenges and Prospect for... the target language culture. We can provide valuable experiences and human touch that A-I cannot fully replace. Conclusion A-I has been revolutionized over the years which can make it more available, proficient and appealing than before. With the development in technology of A-I and its incorporation of cutting –edge tools such as VR and AR. With such kind of advancements, the future of language learning seems quite promising. Though, it is vital to recognize the importance of human interaction for the process of language learning. If humans combine both of the worlds, they can achieve their goals and unlock the new opportunities. No doubt, if we include A-I in education, it will enhance the learning of many languages. Students will flourish with the tailored content and instant feedback and can adapt it as per their needs. Even, the role of a teacher can feel easier because of language apps in the form of machine translation. However, human effort is equally important for developing and implementing the effective solutions. A-I software companies can work for designing the smart educational app that can drive any kind of business being its transportation or online learning programs. As we know that Online language learning is with the utmost value in abnormal situations as in COVID- 19. But, A-I is necessary for the future in language learning, language assessment, evaluation, motivation, diversity and even for the fairness in work. References Holbah, W.A. and Sharma, V.K. (2022).

Kothai INTRODUCTION For higher education in 2023, artificial intelligence (AI) is expected to be one of the most pervasive technological advances. Students’ educational experiences can be enhanced and improved by using AI, which offers innovative accessibility options along with individualized learning that is catered to each individual student. Natural language processing, machine learning, and algorithm development are all applied in the subject of artificial intelligence (AI). Utilizing AI, educational resources are transformed. Numerous educational uses of AI exist, including automated evaluation systems to support teachers, facial recognition software to gain behavioral insights, and tailored learning platforms to encourage students to learn. Despite the potential benefits of AI to support students’ learning experiences and teachers’ practices, the erthical and societal drawbacks of these systems are rarely fully considered in K-12 educational contexts. Teachers and students need to be made aware of the ethical issues surrounding artificial intelligence in the classroom. Thus the ethics of Artificial Intelligence in higher education are a complicated but urgent issue that require consideration and
  • 86. 74 Artificial Intelligence in Academia: Challenges and Prospect for... a lively debate because of several important ethical issues, such as: PREJUDICE AND DISCRIMINATION Artificial Intelligence systems are now trained by humans. AI refers to systematic and replicable flaws in computer systems that result in unequal treatment and discrimination based on constitutionally protected traits, such as gender and race. Systems can be biased only if they were trained on biased data (Jackson, 2021). This is only possible if a biased dataset is used to train the AI system. PRIVACY AND SECURITY It’s been somewhat difficult to define what “privacy” actually means, because Artificial Intelligence systems have the potential to gather and use student personal data, its use can give rise to concerns regarding security and privacy. To protect students’ privacy and stop illegal access to their data, colleges, universities and other organizations must put in place explicit regulations and procedures. ACCESS AND INCLUSION Access and inclusion for students with challenges may be enhanced by AI-powered educational technologies. Making all educational resources, activities and assessments accessible to all students’ entails making sure persons with disabilities as well as learning obstacles may participate in them. The term “access and inclusion” in artificial intelligence (AI) refers to the “inclusion” of people with “diverse” features and viewpoints in the system, data, governance and processes of the AI ecosystem. The depiction of human diversity among a group or society is termed as diversity. TRANSPERENCY AND ACCOUNTABILITY In Artificial Intelligence, Transparency refers to the capacity to see inside an AI model and comprehend the
  • 87. 75 Artificial Intelligence in Academia: Challenges and Prospect for... reasoning behind its judgements. Making sure that systems are properly constructed helps to build our faith in their actions. This calls for accountability – as well as transparency –the capacity to comprehend how systems decide and how the data is used. REPLACING HUMAN TEACHERS Artificial Intelligence is lagging behind humans in most fields at the moment, particularly when it comes to difficult tasks that call for a combination of technical and socio- emotional abilities. It is crucial that we resist giving computers complete control over cognition even as Artificial Intelligence develops. Artificial Intelligence systems require ethical behaviour from humans, not from computers, in order to function correctly. It is ultimately the duty of humans to develop and implement AI systems. ETHOS Going slightly back in time, we can find the term ethics in Ancient Greece, coming from Aristotle with the word “ethos”, which initially stated to habit, tradition, and the incessant replication of moral action. I am thus rational about how to include Aristotle’s idea of ethos while imitating AI in 21st-century society. At the same time, the solution may be forthright or complicated, inspiring moral behavior as a habit is what I understand ethos to be. SAFETY Artificial Intelligence safety technologies encompass a variety of instruments, approaches and procedures intended to guarantee the ethical, safe and consistent functioning of AI systems. There’s growing concern about potential prejudices, vulnerabilities and unexpected consequences as AI systems get more powerful and intricate. By developing systems to track AI behaviour, get rid of lessen prejudices, stop malicious
  • 88. 76 Artificial Intelligence in Academia: Challenges and Prospect for... attacks, and make sure AI systems are in line with human goals and values, safety technologies seek to alleviate these worries. WELL-BEING From monitoring diagnosis, clinical trials and health care delivery to health economics, artificial intelligence (AI) has enormous potential to revolutionize nearly every facet of healthcare and health research. Artificial intelligence (AI) has the ability to tailor healthcare diagnosis, treatment, and monitoring for each patient, both at home and in the community. Customized help and guidance for people suffering from anxiety or depression might be offered via an AI-powered Chabot. In order to comprehend a human being’s worries and offer coping mechanisms and resources to assist in symptom management, the chatbot may employ natural language processing. RECOMMENDATIONS  Ensure transparency in AI systems, providing clear information on how they function.  Implement fairness by avoiding biases in training data and algorithms to prevent discernment.  Prioritize user confidentiality, securing and handling data correctly.

  • 90. 78 Artificial Intelligence in Academia: Challenges and Prospect for... 9 Artificial Intelligence in Conjuction with Teachers is a Need for the Educational System of the Twenty-First Century Dr. P. Subramanian INTRODUCTION Over the past few decades, there have been several waves of emerging technologies for education, and the latest one is artificial intelligence. In 1956, John McCarthy used the term “artificial intelligence” for the very first time. Artificial Intelligence (AI) is defined as “computers [that] perform cognitive tasks, usually associated with human minds, particularly learning and problem-solving,” and does not refer to a specific technology. AI is a broad term that covers a variety of analytical techniques. These techniques fall into the categories of deep learning, neural networks, and machine learning. The ability of a computer algorithm to learn from data and make decisions without programming is known as machine learning. The two most popular machine learning models are supervised and unsupervised learning models, despite the existence of many more. While unsupervised
  • 91. 79 Artificial Intelligence in Academia: Challenges and Prospect for... machine learning algorithms generate a model from untagged data, supervised machine learning algorithms use sample data, also known as training data, to build their models. Stated differently, the unsupervised model operates autonomously, uncovering patterns that humans had previously missed. AI offers a wide range of applications in education. For example, chatbots, intelligent tutoring, and automated grading systems are just a few of the educational technologies that incorporate AI. All stakeholders have multiple opportunities to benefit from these AI-based systems during the teaching and learning process. Artificial intelligence (AI) has been making its way into our daily lives through a variety of channels, including healthcare systems, mobile apps, and online search engines. The rapid development of AI technologies has significant effects on teaching and learning as well. Indeed, AI-assisted instruction is predicted to revolutionize the field of education. As a result, significant resources have been allocated to the incorporation of AI into education. The majority of current AI applications in education are profit-oriented, which poses a significant challenge to the effective integration of AI into teaching and learning. For AI to be used in teaching effectively, developers must possess pedagogical knowledge in addition to their limited understanding of the learning sciences. Furthermore, AI developers frequently overlook the demands placed on them by teachers, who are AI’s end users in the educational system. For AI to be successfully implemented in schools, teachers’ opinions, experiences, and expectations must be taken into account. Teachers are thought to be among the most important stakeholders in AI-based teaching. In particular, a deeper understanding of the benefits AI offers educators and the difficulties they encounter in implementing AI-based instruction is necessary for AI to become pedagogically relevant. Teachers’ perspectives on AI-based education, however, have not received much attention. Furthermore, there has been a lack of attention in the literature
  • 92. 80 Artificial Intelligence in Academia: Challenges and Prospect for... to teachers’ contributions to the development of AI as well as their expertise in its pedagogical application. This study examines the opportunities and difficulties that artificial intelligence (AI) in teaching practice has brought to light in order to fill in these research gaps. AI’S POTENTIALITIES IN EDUCATION One of the primary advantages of using artificial intelligence in the classroom is the ability to provide more personalized instruction. Teachers often have less time to spend one-on-one with students as class sizes continue to grow. As a result, students who require extra assistance may fall behind their peers, while students who understand the material well may become disengaged. Integrating AI-based personalized learning activities for students could have a significant impact on information retention and graduation rates. Artificial intelligence has also demonstrated the potential to be used in reviews and assessments, where the teacher’s input is frequently limited in a traditional educational setting. This level of individualized involvement permits AI-based review and assessment that boosts student retention whilst also preventing valuable review time from being wasted on topics they are already familiar with. Teachers have seen the potential utilization of AI beyond the educational process to help manage the more menial tasks of their jobs. While grading, scheduling, lesson planning, and other duties are necessary for a classroom to function properly, they detract from a teacher’s primary purpose: to educate. Teachers can spend more time addressing the actual content now that these tasks are handled by artificial intelligence. Many opponents of using artificial intelligence in the classroom believe that it will ultimately substitute for teachers, but this is simply not the case. AI technology is still evolving — and is unlikely to ever do so — to the point where it can completely replace human teachers. Nothing can replace a human teacher’s ability to visually gauge and understand their
  • 93. 81 Artificial Intelligence in Academia: Challenges and Prospect for... students’ reactions and engage with their students on an emotional level, no matter how much data an AI processes about a student’s performance and preferences. Indeed, AI will be most useful as a supplement to teachers’ workloads. Some have questioned whether artificial intelligence is required in the classroom. However, given that using AI as a supplement tool has the clear benefit of improving student learning and teacher productivity, it is worthwhile to consider using this technology in the classroom. Furthermore, the goal of education is to prepare students for real-world experiences, and AI is becoming a dominant part of several industries. We must prepare students to coexist with artificial intelligence in a meaningful, productive, and appropriate way if we want them to be ready for success in their careers. Otherwise, when they enter the workforce, they will be unprepared. ROLE OF TEACHERS The shift toward digital education does not imply that people will require fewer teachers in the future. Rather than speculating on whether AI will replace teachers, it is more reasonable to focus on the benefits that AI provides teachers and how these benefits can change teachers’ roles in the classroom. Salomon demonstrated this during the early stages of educational technology development by emphasizing the importance of considering how learning occurs through and with computers. In terms of artificial intelligence, Holstein et al. proposed that in the future, AI-based machines could assist teachers in performing what Dillenbourg emphasized as their orchestrator role in the learning and teaching process. To truly assist teachers in this way, AI must first learn effective orchestration of learning and teaching from teacher data. Because effective teaching is dependent on teachers’ ability to incorporate appropriate pedagogical methods into their instruction, their pedagogically meaningful and productive teaching instances can serve as prototypes for AI-
  • 94. 82 Artificial Intelligence in Academia: Challenges and Prospect for... based systems of learning. In other words, the data collected from the learning environment orchestrated by teachers serves as the foundation for AI-based teaching. For example, the data may assist researchers in determining when and how effectively teaching is progressing. Teachers are essential in helping students develop emotionally and feel like they belong. They can modify their methods in response to student feedback, foster critical thinking, and customize their teaching approaches to each student’s unique learning style. Teachers give advice, encourage students to follow their interests, and impart contextual knowledge. To enhance students’ learning, they can create engaging classes, offer moral guidance, and provide prompt feedback. This dynamic approach guarantees a more efficient and customized educational process. Many of the administrative duties that teachers currently complete can be automated by AI, giving them more time to plan lessons and engage students. This has the potential to lessen teacher burnout, a serious problem in many educational systems. AI can assist educators in locating and filling in any knowledge gaps that students may be experiencing. This has the potential to improve learning outcomes by raising motivation and engagement levels among students. AI can give teachers insights into how each student is doing and where they might be having difficulties by evaluating student data. Teachers can use this to help students succeed by tailoring their instruction and offering focused support. The future of AI will probably change the role that teachers play. AI systems will take care of administrative and grading duties, freeing up teachers to concentrate more on higher-level duties like lesson planning and student engagement. The creation of learning gaps is one of the main effects that the use of AI in the classroom could have. Students will only receive the answer from an artificial intelligence tool; they will not be given the methodology used to arrive at the answer. After that, it is the duty of the teacher to close the knowledge gap between what the AI provides and what the
  • 95. 83 Artificial Intelligence in Academia: Challenges and Prospect for... students require to learn. A lot of ethical questions are brought up by AI in education, including bias in grading and data privacy. As AI becomes more and more integrated into the teaching profession, these issues will need to be addressed. All things considered, integrating AI into education has the power to change the teaching profession and raise student achievement. CONCLUSION Artificial intelligence is growing more and more prominent in many areas of our lives every day. Artificial Intelligence (AI) has begun to make an impact in the field of education, with the goal of bolstering the learning process and serving as a useful tool for both teachers and students. However, not every educational institution has fully embraced the use of AI, and it will require time for this to change. However, studies show that in the near future, AI will have a good impact on the education sector. It is currently transforming the education industry. The shift towards digital education does not mean fewer teachers will be needed in the future. Instead, AI can provide benefits to teachers and change their roles in the classroom. AI must learn effective orchestration of learning and teaching from teacher data, which can be used to determine progress and improve teaching methods. Teachers play a crucial role in helping students develop emotionally and feel like they belong, and can modify their methods based on student feedback. AI can also automate administrative duties, freeing up teachers to focus on higher-level tasks like lesson planning and student engagement. However, AI may create learning gaps, as students only receive answers from AI tools without understanding the methodology used. Teachers must close the knowledge gap between AI & students’ needs and and ethical issues like grading bias and data privacy arise as AI integration becomes more prevalent. Artificial intelligence can help to a larger extent, but it can never completely replace teachers in the challenging task of teaching students 21st century skills.

It many times missed to grab the attention of learners. There is no unique way or method to enrich all the learners in the class room at one point, in fact it mainly focuses the above average learners only. As a result, many below average and late bloomers are dropped out from learning. Not only this drop out problem but also there is no innovative or enthusiastic way of method to teach and to evaluate the learners. Even though a skilled and sound knowledge teacher is there, he/she couldn’t stop the rain with the single umbrella. 1.

  • 109. 97 Artificial Intelligence in Academia: Challenges and Prospect for... 11 Ethical Implications and Risks in AI Enhanced Education Introduction The field of education is changing as a result of artificial intelligence (AI), which opens up new avenues for improving assessment, boosting access and equity, and personalizing instruction. But educators, legislators, researchers, and developers must carefully consider and address the serious ethical issues that AI also raises. We first discuss the potential ethical concerns and the opportunities presented by AI in education in this paper. The relevant ethical policies and guidelines for AIED were then examined and synthesized through the process of thematic analysis in order to formulate and establish a set of ethical principles. We go over each principle and its implications for all the important parties involved in education, such as teachers, students, policymakers, technology developers, and institutional decision makers. It is anticipated that the proposed set of ethical guidelines will act as a framework to advise and direct educational stakeholders in the creation and application of the advancement of artificial intelligence in education (AIED) and will also stimulate the advancement of associated impact studies in the field in the future. What ethical concerns does AI in education raise? AI in education can bring up a number of ethical concerns, including:
  • 110. 98 Artificial Intelligence in Academia: Challenges and Prospect for... Bias and discrimination: AI systems have the potential to reflect or magnify human biases and prejudices, which could result in unfair or discriminatory outcomes for particular student or teacher groups. A few examples of these concerns include the use of incomplete, inaccurate, or unrepresentative data by AI systems, as well as the application of opaque or accountable algorithms. Privacy and data protection: AI systems have the potential to gather, store, process, and exchange a great deal of sensitive personal data, including academic performance, behavior, preferences, emotions, biometrics, and health information, from students and teachers. Their right to privacy and data protection may be violated by this, particularly if the information is used for reasons other than education, like commercialization, profiling, or surveillance. The Safety and Security Principle: Gathering user data is one of the primary purposes of educational learning systems. This data is then used to forecast user performance and learning behaviors. It is unavoidable to consider a situation in which the data is most likely altered or tampered with by someone else, or worse, by cybercriminals. The principle of security dictates that AIED must be developed and executed in a way that guarantees the system’s resilience against cyberattacks, data breaches, and corruption risks, thereby guaranteeing the confidentiality and security of sensitive data. The foundation of the idea of incorruptibility in AIED is found in incorruptibility in AI, or the ability to withstand malevolent manipulation by outside forces. AI systems need to be “robust against human adversaries who deliberately search for exploitable flaws in the algorithm,” according to Bostrom & Yudkowsky (2014). Thus, it can be said that data security and the integrity and incorruptibility of the data go hand in hand. To avoid any abuse or violation, it is imperative to protect the personal information of all
  • 111. 99 Artificial Intelligence in Academia: Challenges and Prospect for... parties involved, including students, instructors, and educational institutions. With virtual learning becoming more commonplace, it is even more important to protect data privacy and security, which calls for cooperation and self-awareness on the part of all parties involved. Because of this, it is essential that AIED developers take great care when creating, honing, testing, and validating AI systems for safety (Leslie, 2019). To ensure accountability and robustness throughout the AI lifecycle, multistakeholder groups, including educators, public authorities, and product developers, should set up suitable mechanisms for oversight, assessment, and due diligence (AHEG, 2020). In order to ensure that AI users—both educators and students—get the necessary training to operate the system safely in the designated environment, this group should create comprehensive guidelines. Artificial intelligence (AI) has a daily impact on our lives today and presents both opportunities and challenges for every aspect of human endeavor, including education. The most obvious risk among these appears to be the ethical concerns surrounding the application of AI, such as the abuse of personal information or life monitoring. Thus, the purpose of this systematic review is to outline the main moral dilemmas surrounding the application of AI-powered mobile apps in the classroom and to enumerate some of the ramifications derived from the studies that have been identified as being relevant to this area of study. The PRISMA guidelines for systematic information and meta-reviews served as the foundation for this review study’s methodology. The findings point to four fundamental ethical precepts that ought to be adhered to, the most important of which is algorithm vigilance, which calls for keeping an eye on, comprehending, and averting the negative effects of algorithms in the application of AI in education. In addition, it is imperative to identify all relevant parties and ensure their collective involvement and cooperation in order to ensure the
  • 112. 100 Artificial Intelligence in Academia: Challenges and Prospect for... ethical application of AI in education. Since the current research based on the review studies is limited and neglected in this regard, the contribution of this study consists of highlighting the need for collaborative research and cooperation of all learners and users when using AI-related mobile technologies in education with notable attention to the ethical issues. Even though AI technology has many benefits for both teachers and students, there are also risks and threats related to ethical issues. These risks should be carefully considered by conceptual and empirical studies that will clearly identify potential threats. Privacy, or the lack of it, is one of these main hazards. Users of AI technology built on algorithmic apps knowingly provide personal information to be collected, even though they are unaware of the precise nature and volume of data being collected. Even though user consent is legally required before using any AI technology, the user is actually unaware of what is happening with their data in the system. As a result, AI technology companies ought to reduce this data and concentrate on incorporating only that which can improve student learning. Autonomy and agency: AI systems have the potential to affect or impede teachers’ and students’ autonomy and agency, which could have an impact on their capacity to make wise decisions, exert control over their education, express their creativity, or cultivate critical thinking abilities. For instance, AI systems might offer advice or comments that are at odds with the objectives, passions, or values of the students, or they might substitute automated responses for human interaction and direction. Transparency and ability to explain: Students, teachers, and other stakeholders may find it challenging to comprehend or challenge the ways in which AI systems function because they are opaque or complex. Their capacity to accept, validate, dispute, or appeal the decisions or actions of AI systems may be hampered as a result. AI systems might, for instance,
  • 113. 101 Artificial Intelligence in Academia: Challenges and Prospect for... employ “black-box” algorithms, which conceal the steps they take to arrive at their conclusions or forecasts. Accountability and responsibility: The design, development, deployment, use, and impact of AI systems in education may give rise to concerns about who is accountable or responsible for them. The distribution of responsibilities and roles among the various players in the AI ecosystem may become unclear or lacking as a result. AI systems, for instance, have the potential to harm people or make mistakes that are not related to any particular human agent. Why is it crucial to discuss the moral implications of AI in the classroom?  It’s critical to address AI’s ethical concerns in education for a number of reasons.  To uphold dignity and human rights: The basic human rights and dignity of educators and students may be impacted by the ethical concerns surrounding AI in education. As an illustration,  The right to an education free from discrimination may be violated by bias and discrimination.  The right to privacy may be violated by data security and privacy.  Agency and autonomy may infringe upon the freedom of thought.  The right to information may be violated by transparency and the ability to explain  Responsibility and accountability might infringe on the right to a remedy. To guarantee efficacy and quality: The efficacy and quality of educational processes and results may be impacted by the ethical concerns surrounding AI in education. As an illustration,
  • 114. 102 Artificial Intelligence in Academia: Challenges and Prospect for...  Discrimination and bias can lower an assessment’s validity and accuracy.  The confidence and trust of students may be compromised by privacy and data protection.  Learning participants’ motivation and engagement may be hampered by autonomy and agency.  Transparency and explanation skills may hinder learners’ feedback and direction.  Responsibility and accountability could jeopardize learning assessment and advancement. For example, bias and discrimination may make already- existing inequalities and marginalization worse; privacy and data protection may expose vulnerable groups to exploitation or harm; autonomy and agency may limit student participation and empowerment; transparency and explain ability may create information asymmetries or gaps; accountability and responsibility may shift the burden or blame to students. These ethical concerns surrounding AI in education may have an impact on inclusion and equity of educational opportunities and benefits. How can the ethical concerns surrounding AI in education be addressed? A multi-stakeholder approach involving cooperation between educators, legislators, researchers, developers, and other AI ecosystem actors is necessary to address the ethical concerns surrounding AI in education. Among the potential courses of action that are available are: Creating ethical frameworks and guidelines: These can offer a shared understanding and a set of values and principles to direct the moral creation, application, and impact of AI in education. For instance, in November 2021, UNESCO released the “Recommendation on the Ethics of Artificial Intelligence,” the first-ever worldwide standard on AI ethics.
  • 115. 103 Artificial Intelligence in Academia: Challenges and Prospect for... Putting ethical standards and practices into practice: To guarantee the moral performance and conduct of AI systems in education, ethical standards and practices can operationalize moral frameworks and guidelines into specific actions and measures. Information quality and transparency with explaining skill, users overlook and discussions, privacy protection policies and evaluation tools with users’ participations, etc. are a few examples of ethical practices and standards. Encouraging ethical education and awareness: Increasing ethical literacy and competence among students, educators, and other AI ecosystem stakeholders can be achieved through ethical education and awareness. Curriculum integration, professional development, public engagement, media literacy, digital citizenship, and other activities are a few examples of how ethical education and awareness can be promoted. Increasing the effectiveness of ethical governance and regulation: These policies can offer an institutional and legal framework that guarantees the accountability and responsibilities of AI actors in the educational system. Laws and regulations, codes of conduct, ethics committees, oversight bodies, complaint procedures, redress procedures, and so forth are a few examples of ethical governance and regulation. While artificial intelligence (AI) in education has enormous potential to improve teaching and learning, it also presents serious ethical issues that require careful thought and resolution. We can make sure that artificial intelligence (AI) is used in education for the benefit of people, communities, and the environment by creating ethical frameworks and guidelines, putting ethical practices and standards into practice, encouraging ethical education and awareness, and bolstering ethical governance and regulation. A set of data that represents historical and systemic biases in society is created whenever people create algorithms, and this data eventually becomes algorithmic bias, even though
  • 116. 104 Artificial Intelligence in Academia: Challenges and Prospect for... the bias is implicitly embedded into the algorithmic model without conscious intention. We can observe various gender and racial biases in various AI-based platforms. Our focus will be on issues related to privacy, surveillance, autonomy, bias, and discrimination, taking into account the various forms of bias and ethical challenges of AI applications in diverse settings. It is imperative to recognize, though, that educators face a variety of ethical dilemmas and concerns based on the grade level and developmental stage of their students. We indicate the age and/or grade level of the student(s) that are the target of recommended strategies and resources.

Sridhar and Dr. Malliga Introduction Artificial Intelligence (AI) is a new and developing technology that has the power to completely change how people interact with one another. Nowadays, artificial intelligence (AI) is a vital component of human life and, more significantly, permeates every area of modern existence. Artificial Intelligence (AI) has become a reality and its necessity has been demonstrated by the twenty-first century. AI has advanced to the point that it may be applied to a wide range of fields, including education, business, the media, and defense-related technical services. The interaction and application of AI in the classroom will improve teaching and learning by assisting teachers and students in the process via robotic technology and sensors. AI is primarily accessed and delivered via computers, laptops, tablets, iPads, multimedia mobiles, and other technological devices. There is no single instrument that is specifically designed to use AI in the education sector because manufacturers are unlikely to view education as their sole target market. The field of robotics has been growing rapidly as a result of advancements in AI.
  • 185. 173 Artificial Intelligence in Academia: Challenges and Prospect for... Robotics research is being conducted to determine how socially assistive robots can assist in day-to-day activities such as guiding shoppers in malls, railway stations, airports, education, and other aspects of human life (Timms, 2016). Cobots are robots that collaborate with humans to assist them in carrying out their tasks and duties. Cobots are robots designed to assist human teachers in the field of education, and pupils will receive more tailored instruction. Robots need higher cognitive abilities and proprioceptive senses supported by auditory, visual, and touch sensors to perform everyday tasks with humans. Robots with these high cognitive abilities must physically perform in classrooms that can detect surrounding positions and use classroom tools such as whiteboards, smartboards, and papers, among other things (Brooks, 2002). The National Strategy on Artificial Intelligence (NSAI), published by NITI Ayog in 2018, discusses the potential of AI to solve social problems in agriculture, health, and education. With the rapid advancement of AI technology, the debate over AI ethics and governance is constantly evolving. Several countries and organizations have developed ethical AI principles, and it is necessary for India to develop principles that can be implemented across the country (NITI Ayog, 2021). Researchers in the field of artificial intelligence (AI) discovered a positive impact on educational implications such as Intelligent Computer-Assisted Instruction (ICAI) systems to teach and Computer-Assisted Instruction (CAI) to develop learning environment and major application as expert systems to assist educational diagnosis and assessment (Jones, 1985).

  • 186. 174 Artificial Intelligence in Academia: Challenges and Prospect for... John McCarthy coined the term Artificial Intelligence (AI) in 1956, two years after the death of Alan Turing, known as the father of AI. He was thinking about how a machine can think and created the Turing machine, which demonstrates intelligence similar to human beings such as learning, logical reasoning, and problem-solving, among other things (Singh and Jain, 2018). AI predicts new scenarios based on a large amount of historical data, and this is an underutilized sector (Panigrahi, 2020). The advancement of faster computer processes, the availability of large amounts of big data, and advances in computational approaches laid the groundwork for AI’s renaissance, which is now an integral and inseparable part of human life. Surprisingly, the more it is integrated into daily life, the less people think of it as AI (Holmes Bialik & Fadel, 2019). Artificial intelligence, or AI, is commonly associated with sophisticated computer programmes such as voice-activated smart speakers like Amazon Eco, Google Assistant, and AirPlay, and email spam filtering that automatically blocks mobile numbers. Using neural networks to create autonomous cars without human intervention is another area of AI development (Holmes, Bialik, & Fadel, 2019). The definition of artificial intelligence (AI) varies among experts in the field. For example, Kaplan and Haenlein (2019) defined AI as “A system’s ability to correctly interpret external data, to learn from such data, and to use those learnings to achieve specific goals and tasks through flexible adaptation.” Russell and Norvig (2019) defined AI as “The study of agents that receive precepts from the environment and execute.” We discuss various ways to represent these functions, including production systems, reactive agents, logical planners, neural networks, and decision-theoretic systems. Each such agent is implemented by a function that translates principles to actions (Russell and Norvig, 2010). Technology is increasinglydisruptingsociety and humanity in a variety of ways, including education. With the rapid
  • 187. 175 Artificial Intelligence in Academia: Challenges and Prospect for... changes that are occurring in the world, such as climate change, population dynamics, biotechnology, and the expansion of digital marketing, as well as the growth of machine learning and artificial intelligence, a robust ecosystem is becoming increasingly important. This is the fourth industrial revolution, and disruptive technology such as artificial intelligence has emerged, lowering costs and improving prediction tasks based on existing data, which aids professionals in their work. With the importance of disruptive technology in mind, the National Policy of Education 2020 proposed studying ethical issues and discussing disruptive technologies with appropriate instruction and discussion materials for continuing education (NEP, 2021). Artificial intelligence, like humans, operates in multiple dimensions: “The exhilarating new efforts to make computers think.” “In the full and literal sense, a machine with minds” (Haugeland, 1985). “The art of creating machines that perform functions that require intelligence when performed by people” (Kurzwell, 1990). Thinking Rationally is defined as “the study of mental faculties using computational models” (Chamlak & McDermott, 1985). And, according to UNESCO, “Acting Rationally; Computational Intelligence is the study of the design of intelligent agents” (Poole et al., 1998). Artificial Intelligence (AI) in Education Artificial intelligence, like other technological innovations, plays an important role in education by improving teaching and learning, and big data serves as a fuel. Governments and educational institutions are considering how to prepare students to thrive in an artificial intelligence-infused future, as well as the increasing presence of AI in all aspects of human activity. Artificial intelligence research focuses on intelligence components such as learning, problem solving, reasoning, decision making, and language use, among others. UNESCO (2019).
  • 188. 176 Artificial Intelligence in Academia: Challenges and Prospect for... Teaching and Learning According to a study conducted by the research organization Tracxn, approximately one-tenth (11%) of Indians who use artificial intelligence (AI) based technology in their organizations are involved in teaching and learning. Several AI-based applications for teaching and learning are currently available (Panigrahi, 2020). As unlimited information and contents, as well as learning materials, are available on digital platforms, technology has made limitless knowledge and information easily accessible to every individual around the world. Individuals can use AI-based technology to get to their destination, access the necessary materials, and obtain accurate data. AI assists teachers in their classrooms by providing appropriate teaching aids and digital platforms, as well as reducing workloads through automatic assessment, plagiarism detection, and feedback, among other things (Holmes, Hui, Miao, & Ronghuai, 2021). AI will never be able to replace human teachers, but it can assist them in providing effective classroom instruction, assignment assessment, grading tests, and twenty-four-hour academic support to their students because teachers cannot be available at all times. It offers virtual mentorship and engages students in academic activities by tracking attendance and progress and connecting with students at all times (Sadiku, Ashaolu, Ajayi- Majebi, & Musa, 2021). Evaluation and Assessment “What gets measured gets managed. “Lord Kelvin’s Many human problems around the world are caused by a lack of education and a poor education system. An assessment serves as a foundation for and defines the education that people receive (Holmes, Bialik, & Fadel, 2019). For a long time, the process of assessment and evaluation, rather than the entire examination system, has been a focal point of discussion for ongoing reform. The education system has seen numerous reforms since ancient times, even though the current and
  • 189. 177 Artificial Intelligence in Academia: Challenges and Prospect for... prevailing examination system is stressful and unpleasant and, with the changing time and nature of the education system, requires reform. The current situation is different, and in order to continue the reform process, people have several options for developing a superior assessment and evaluation. Artificial intelligence technology is already grading objective questions like multiple-choice questions (MCQs) but is working to successfully grade subjective questions like paragraphs, essays, and statements. Grading through machines frees up time for teachers to focus on teaching and learning, as well as providing appropriate guidance to students. As artificial intelligence technology advances, it can be used for admission, assignment checking, and homework preparation (Kengam, 2020). Artificial Intelligence Legal Issues The entire world is concerned about the human rights and legal issues surrounding artificial intelligence (AI) that are emerging on a daily basis. It includes a lack of algorithmic lucidity and transparency, cyber security capabilities, sloppiness, biases and discriminations, legitimate personhood issues, a lack of possibility for challenge, intellectual property rights issues, an unfavourable effect on workers, data protection and fundamental privacy rights issues, the possibility of harm to persons and vandalism to property, a lack of accountability for caused destructions, and so on. Conclusion Artificial intelligence (AI) is gradually altering the landscape of the global education system. It enabled continuous universal access to the classroom for all individuals all over the world. AI applications are widely used by students and teachers today. AI promotes distance, open, online, and digital education while also facilitating personalized learning and providing universal access to all levels and types of quality education. In the near future, with the assistance of AI, the

Though AI cannot replace human teachers, it can assist in teaching and learning to a large extent. There is no way to avoid AI in any aspect of social or personal life, and the educational system has already embraced it. Schooling and ongoing education will help to raise public awareness of potentially disruptive technologies. This is necessary to raise public awareness about this technology, and data is the most important fuel for artificial intelligence. It is also critical to be aware of issues such as privacy, laws, data handling, and data protection, among others. Education will be critical in raising awareness about these issues, particularly ethical concerns and the advancement of artificial intelligence-based technology. References Brooks, R. A. (2002).

Keeping up with the times necessitates that the educational system respond to new technologies in order to raise the bar for teaching and learning, particularly in the realm of information and communication. Artificial intelligence allows for the presentation of digital learning material that is now under development. Study aids, material summaries, or brief notes are some ways that students may now access formerly inaccessible, dense textbook information. Using AI to support the manufacturing revolution When it comes to technology- mediated learning, 4.0 is crucial (Council of Europe, 2001).

Cognitive activities, such as teaching machines new skills automatically from pre-programmed data and knowledge, are at the heart of artificial intelligence (AI), which aims to mimic human thought processes in computer systems. It is also possible to understand artificial intelligence A subfield of computer science, artificial intelligence (AI) enables computers to mimic human intellect and performance in a variety of tasks (OECD, 2016). Whether we’ve been aware of it or not, we’ve used AI in our daily lives. Artificial intelligence has been integrated into several applications for the benefit of these applications. When we talk about AI in this context, we’re referring to systems that mimic human intelligence in terms of their ability to reason, plan, and execute tasks. Huge efforts are being made right now to perfect artificial intelligence (AI) to the point where it can mimic human intellect and eventually execute human tasks. The original goal of artificial intelligence (AI) was to enable computer programs and robots to mimic human behavior. Obviously to make human labor easier (OECD, 2009). There are a number of digital platforms that have integrated AI. One of the main purposes of AI is to facilitate human work. A number of tech firms have integrated AI, such as Google, Amazon, Facebook, and Microsoft. Machines that are programmed to learn and comprehend reasoning in the same way that people do are known as artificial intelligence (AI). The complicated human condition is supposedly amenable to this technological solution. AI relies on a trifecta of data, repeated processing, and smart algorithms to function. Because of this, the program may automatically learn from data characteristics or trends.One may also argue that artificial intelligence covers a lot of ground. The educational sector is only one of several that is seeing the growing influence of AI technology. Particularly in STEM subjects, the introduction of AI has revolutionized course offerings. However, AI will also radically alter the global landscape of education.The field of AI has been making

Education is only one area where this technology plays a significant role in streamlining a variety of work responsibilities.The field of education may also benefit from the use of AI. Educators have a much easier and more thorough time understanding their students’ needs. Also, the children won’t have any trouble learning what they need. Many people think that artificial intelligence can improve human learning and make educational objectives more attainable. Thus, it should come as no surprise that the learning process is presently and will continue to be supported by several AI-based advancements and discoveries. Consequently, the presence of AI in the education sector causes worries among instructors. However, this problem must be met in order for education to persist. Teachers’ ability to work together with AI to apply learning is one of the strong convictions that AI cannot replace them. Educators must be able to effectively use scientific and technological knowledge. With the use of AI, educators may streamline administrative tasks related to school management, such as creating lesson plans, tracking student attendance, documenting learning results, and creating educational media and materials.The study’s focus is on AI, or artificial intelligence. AI serves as a virtual mentor, a role that is becoming prevalent in many online educational technology platforms. AI may assess students’ work on practice questions and other learning activities, and then suggest what they should study again. Educators often use applications to provide course materials such as lecture notes, homework, quizzes, and exams. Applications may also be used for evaluation and testing purposes. If students are confused about anything, this app can figure out why and provide answers that the teacher has already published and designed. Acquiring information is just one aspect of education. Learning new information and developing our social skills are two sides of the same coin in the intricate process that is education (Barbas-Rhoden et al., 2021). The creation of

This suggests that the function of instructors and educators will remain unreplaceable by AI, regardless of its sophistication or the number of instances of its use. AI can only assist and enable educators in creating an engaging learning environment for their students. Whether in a classroom setting or via independent study, information technology plays an important role in facilitating learning. Artificial intelligence will play a larger role in educational pursuits going forward. AI has the potential to revolutionize the way learning materials are presented, assessments are administered, and feedback is given. Many different types of instructional technology have begun to include AI. Many digital libraries, including those at public, academic, and educational institutions, are already making use of this technology. People may customize it so that it reminds things like course progress, upcoming materials, test accumulation, overall scores, related course suggestions, and more. Schools and institutions with international programs may benefit from AI-based solutions by developing curriculum-based lessons and providing students with personalized learning experiences. Teachers and tutors may save time and effort by making use of these capabilities when they create and administer exams and quizzes. Tutors and teachers may now save time by not having to manually create and edit questions. With the help of AI, learning patterns have become much more practical and effective, and the quality of both has been greatly improved. With the use of AI, educational institutions may design more tailored lessons for their students. There are many different kinds of games, but all of them have one thing in common: they aim to teach players something. AI may aid in the detection of exceptional abilities as well as learning disabilities experienced by students. In artificial intelligence systems, learning is based on technology and is individualized to help students become more self-reliant,

AI learning that places an emphasis on certain systems has the potential to sharpen students’ attention. AI has the ability to recognize topics that students struggle with, allowing it to adapt and discover new methods to enhance their learning. Thus, AI may be used to assess the best technique to instruct students. This gives the instructor a chance to focus on the subject chosen. Enhanced participation. Students are more actively involved in their own learning when they use modern technology like gamification and virtual reality. Through the use of various AI-enabled algorithms, users’ knowledge and interests may be analyzed to provide more tailored training programs and suggestions. 3) Curriculum development that is automated. Growth in artificial intelligence has enormous positive effects on the lives of educators. Developing a course outline from the ground up is not necessary at this time. Teachers will not need a deep understanding of technology to create media or educational materials thanks to AI. Educators need just sift and choose from the various accessible tools and platforms to meet their individual requirements. When it comes to grading, AI has made it so that educators may spend less time on the task. Without the need for the instructor to manually analyze each item, automated assessment of student assignments is now possible. Using AI in the classroom also allows for immediate feedback to students in the form of grades. The time it takes to determine their worth is short. If teachers are able to reduce the amount of time spent evaluating their students, they will have more time to devote to really teaching and learning. AI allows for the execution of learning tasks at any time. Opportunities to learn are no longer constrained by time or place, thanks to AI-based technologies. Furthermore, students are not limited to just having the option of working with instructors at their school. Because there are so many “teachers” on this online platform, kids may interact with educators all around the world, even those in different nations.
  • 197. 185 Artificial Intelligence in Academia: Challenges and Prospect for... Improved learning experiences and skills for students are definitely within the realm of possibility. AI provides to be an invaluable tool in the field of education, especially in the current pandemic scenario when online learning has become mandatory. In order to keep learning going, traditional classroom activities are being replaced by online ones. This is to make it easier to provide knowledge, communicate with students, and keep the conversation going. AI has the potential to greatly improve and adapt education to meet the needs of modern society. Teachers can now move to a level where they enlighten students with substantial keywords and, most importantly, return to what is essential. We must uphold the moral education that is taught.The learning process has to be innovative and creative to meet the changing demands of education. As AI becomes more widely used in the education sector, it will be able to assist with a wide range of routine tasks, including instruction and assessment.As a result, the intellect of a teacher is second to none, much as that of a naturally gifted instructor. On the other hand, a gift requires the best care possible. The development of AI coincides with the rise of the industrial revolution, which in turn was a product of the inventive spirit and innate intellect of humans. This means that they will never be on equal ground when compared. The combination of artificial and natural intelligence may provide flawless results. With the advancement of science and technology in the future, technological gadgets will be able to take over many of the tasks now performed by teachers, including taking attendance, correcting student work, administering quizzes and examinations on a regular basis, explaining concepts, creating administrative reports, and more. In order to produce a golden generation that surpasses machines in intellect, character, and quality, teachers may conserve energy and devote more time to non-systemic tasks.
  • 198. 186 Artificial Intelligence in Academia: Challenges and Prospect for... Although AI has the potential to educate students, it is unable to foster personal growth. That is the role of a teacher. How to encourage, inspire, and mold students into excellent learners. Since AI is not endowed with sentiments and emotions like humans, it cannot replace teachers in their roles of motivating, inspiring, and molding character. Ultimately, keeping up with technological innovations requires the ability to adapt. Technology may one day displace us as educators (teachers/lecturers) if we do not adapt.
