Mapping AI’s role in education should be a critical step in bringing together innovative technology-based solutions with the expertise of human educators.

With rapid advancements in artificial intelligence and an increased reliance on technology-driven educational solutions, the education landscape is on the brink of a significant transformation. AI promises highly personalized learning experiences, efficient administrative tasks, and innovative teaching methodologies. However, with great potential comes an inevitable slew of challenges and risks. According to recent industry statistics, the global edtech distance learning market should reach $350 billion by 2025, indicating the vast opportunities and investments converging in this sector.
