EVOLUTION OF AI TECHNOLOGIES IN THE EDUCATIONAL SECTOR

Abstract: Artificial Intelligence (AI) has rapidly evolved from early rule-based systems to today’s advanced machine learning models, significantly transforming the global educational landscape. Over the years, AI technologies such as adaptive learning platforms, intelligent tutoring systems, virtual assistants, predictive analytics, and automated assessments have revolutionized how students learn and how teachers manage academic tasks. This research paper explores the historical evolution, technological progression, applications, challenges, and future potential of AI-driven educational solutions. Despite issues such as data security, cost, and ethical concerns, AI continues to reshape education, making learning more personalized, inclusive, and efficient. The study concludes that AI technologies will play a central role in building next-generation smart learning environments.
