Some schools are now using Ed-tech that uses AI technologies to track student achievement. It also notifies teachers when there is a problem with a student's performance.

Fremont, CA: Artificial Intelligence (AI) and Machine Learning (ML) are now hot technology assets that are affecting practically every potential domain and business, including education. However, few people realize that most of AI's theoretical and technological underpinnings stretch back over seven decades, owing to experts like Alan Turing, Marvin Minsky, and John McCarthy. In a nutshell, artificial intelligence (AI) is a set of technologies that enable robots to work with greater intellect levels, nearly emulating human capabilities.

Furthermore, EdTech players can provide additional support for students by utilizing AI tutors. In fact, several artificial intelligence-based teaching programs currently exist and can assist kids with fundamental arithmetic, writing, and other topics. While they may not be optimal for higher-order thinking and creativity, they do help children learn the essentials.

Because everyone has different levels and types of intellect, educators have frequently tried to create a course that would appeal to everyone. Customizing education to meet the needs of different students with varying aptitude is a monumental task, but EdTechs can efficiently overcome this bottleneck with the help of AI, which can assist teachers and students in crafting courses that are customized to their needs and also provide feedback to both on the overall success of the course.

Some schools are now using Ed-tech that uses AI technologies to track student achievement. It also notifies teachers when there is a problem with a student's performance.

For example, AI should be used to conduct evaluations in the most appropriate and effective manner, as well as to provide a worthy review of the same. To begin, educational institutions should make efforts to access the value hidden in massive amounts of data. The vast AI-enabled data bank may be utilized to develop personalized examinations for students across courses and grades. The same may be done on a smartphone or a laptop with similar ease.
