brAInstorm Talk#5: Will we be able to reap the benefits of AI in education?

Event Details

If Artificial Intelligence (AI) was still a myth for many education establishments, the recent COVID-19 crisis has accelerated its adoption. We know that AI has been introduced early in the educational system since its rise in the 1980s. Since then, machine learning (ML) and AI have contributed to altering schooling tools, institutions, and learning styles, and revolutionizing the educational system. According to a research report by Technavio, AI in the US education sector is expected to grow by 47.5% during the period 2017-2021. Its impact has been felt across institutions from lowest to higher education levels.
