Overview

Artificial Intelligence (AI) refers to the ability of machines and computer systems to perform tasks that normally require human intelligence. These tasks include problem-solving, learning, understanding language, recognizing patterns, and making decisions. In education, AI can help teachers by providing personalized learning experiences, automating grading, and offering data-driven insights to improve instruction. For parents, AI tools can support their child’s learning by offering additional resources and tracking progress. For students, AI can adapt lessons to their individual needs, making learning more engaging and tailored to their pace and interests.
