AI in the service of education: building a new education ecosystem based on the international approaches

Abstract

In a rapidly changing world, all sectors have been impacted by AI applications and operations automation. Among them, education field has known many changes over time, in term of tools and pedagogical approaches. In this context, learning approaches diversity is becoming increasingly important and the education system must evolve and take into account the new emerging needs, not only in term of digitization but also in term of AI based applications.

In a general way, today, there is a strong need to review the education system and the teaching techniques at the global level and rethink it in the light of technological and scientific progress that the world is experiencing in order to remedy existing problems and imperfections with today’s solutions.

Human knowledge, computerized, represented by artificial intelligence, can indeed help to solve problems related to education and to make it evolve by taking advantage of the different opportunities in the sector. Many learning methodologies could be improved thanks to artificial intelligence tools and algorithmic concept. Among these technologies are NLP, computer vision, and other smart tools, both collaborative [1] and interactive.

On the basis of a comparative study -taking France’s local system and other French speaking countries- as a case study- on the different practices carried out by world pioneers to make the AI in the service of education, supported by a survey, this work answers to the following questions:

- What impacts could AI have on this system to improve its profitability? How to use it in the best way?

- What would AI change into the educational system and how could it be welcomed and executed by learners and teachers?
