Gaurang Shetty, Chief Innovation Catalyst,CEO of RiiDL, Somaiya VidyaviharTeaching is becoming more personalized, quick, cost effective and convenient for students. Today, technology offers opportunities for student engagement that cannot be found in textbooks or in the typical four-walled classroom.

Virtual facilitators, intelligent tutors, interactive websites, Virtual and Augmented Reality, digital- enabled classrooms, cloud-based content, e-books, Adaptive learning techniques, speech recognition, analyzing the problems are one of the best developments that can be seen in the educational sector through Machine learning and a AI technology.

AI and ML technology is also complimenting the specially-abled students to get a holistic experience in education eg. Speech recognition,
VR technology uses cases are growing rapidly in the edTech space. Big players of AI and ML in the education sector are IBM Corporation, Microsoft Corporation, Google, Pearson etc.

New machines are being developed, which will have abilities like data identifying, data processing, speech recognition, personalized learning, etc. Personalised Bots will teach students according to their capability. I thought about this concept called (PBT) Personal BOT tutor. PBT will replace the professors and tutors. It will create a holistic learning experience for students and will match their space. Many of these Interactive softwares will get developed with the help of virtual and augmented reality technology.

Many talk about Artificial Intelligence, ‘what is artificial intelligence’; there is little agreement on an ultimate definition. Many people use AI just for adding glamour to their products and AI is actually not used.

Artificial intelligence (AI) is a simulation of human intelligence processed by computer systems. These processes include learning, reasoning and self-correction and Machine learning is an application of artificial intelligence (AI) that provides systems the ability to automatically learn and improve from experience without being explicitly programmed. Most startups build layers on AI tools created by companies like IBM, Google etc.

The modern era will enable new platforms, which will help startups build effective AI and ML tools which will enhance education. It will enable humans to translate knowledge to wisdom.
