Abstract

Artificial Intelligence, abbreviated as AI, is undoubtedly the most flourishing and booming sector in today’s world. It has spread its reach to all domains, including education. AI techniques encourage and promote more interactive and engaging learning among students. Better animated visuals through interactive learning applications help a lot in grabbing the attention of students. The cloud feature of AI in virtual learning provides the facility of revisiting the lectures and assignments days after the lessons have been taught. With the COVID-19 pandemic taking over the world and all classes being run online, AI has risen to prominence all the more. In the present scenario, artificial intelligence has an omnidirectional impact on all areas of education including the purpose, content, method, and evaluation system. The paper analyses in what way artificial intelligence has been incorporated in online studies by the educational institutions to improve learning outcomes including student grading and evaluation system, personalized and accessible learning, virtual classrooms, assistants and labs, chatbots, and proctoring. A special focus has been laid on how various video calling applications and other software having features based on artificial intelligence have become indispensable in the face of the global health threat. We then provide insight into the possibilities, pitfalls, and the overall future of AI in the education sector.
