Hola! Mis lectores! (Hello, My readers!)

Education- a term that was more familiar with “Lucky Students” and unknown to some “underprivileged, destitute students”, who were willing to learn but lacked resources, in the past. But now this barrier is broken by AI (Homie of course!) This transition from scarcity to abundance of resources has spanned more than ten years, with the most noteworthy progress happening amidst the COVID-19 pandemic.

The transformation from traditional physical classrooms to virtual, globally-accessible, and flexible-schedule courses has radically transformed the field of education. AI has enabled students to access the world’s greatest knowledge with no expensive adjustments but only to access the Internet (Wi Fi, Ptcl, is also considerable). One such example, docile candidates can access edX courses taught by well-known professors from Harvard, such as David Malan, as well cs50.ai (Duck Visual Studio) for free. This digital shift also brought ChatGPT , Meta AI, Gemini, Midjourney, and other AI chatbots into the picture, enabling those with limited internet access to follow their passions.

AI in Education

Another outstanding instance is the emergence of Internet-based content producers on YouTube. Former NASA engineer, Mark Rober, started creating educational videos that simplify intricate scientific ideas in an entertaining and captivating way. His videos, such as the one showcasing the world’s biggest Jello pool or the glitter bomb aimed at stealing package thieves, have motivated countless students to cultivate a passion for STEM disciplines.

Language learning has been transformed by AI-driven platforms such as Duolingo. In Brazil, a student can learn French and in Japan, another person can study Spanish, all without leaving their homes. By utilizing gamification and AI, these platforms tailor the learning process, enhancing its efficiency and enjoyment.

AI’s influence on education goes further than just impacting students. Educators have adopted tools such as Grammarly, an AI-driven writing assistant, to improve their teaching resources and offer improved feedback on student tasks. This has greatly enhanced the standard of education and lessened the burden on teachers.

In summary, the incorporation of artificial intelligence in education has removed obstacles, offering unprecedented opportunities to access knowledge and resources. It has made education accessible to all, allowing individuals with internet access to access top-tier resources worldwide. This change has had a significant effect, especially in difficult situations such as the COVID-19 pandemic, demonstrating that education can succeed in the digital era.
