Artificial intelligence in education

Artificial intelligence in education (often abbreviated as AIEd) is a subfield of educational technology that studies how to use artificial intelligence, such as generative AI chatbots, to create learning environments.

Considerations in the field include data-driven decision-making, AI ethics, data privacy and AI literacy. Concerns include the potential for cheating, over-reliance, equity of access, reduced critical thinking, and the perpetuation of misinformation and bias.

History

Efforts to integrate AI into educational contexts have often followed technological advancement in the history of artificial intelligence.

In the 1960s, educators and researchers began developing computer-based instruction systems, such as PLATO, developed by the University of Illinois.

In the 1970s and 1980s, intelligent tutoring systems (ITS) were being adapted for classroom instruction.

The International Artificial Intelligence in Education Society was founded in 1993.

In the late 2010s and 2020s, large language models (LLMs) and other generative AI technologies have become
