Education is a fundamental pillar in society. Throughout history, education has been the means through which future generations acquire knowledge and skills to thrive in an ever-evolving world. However, the world is changing at a dizzying pace, and education must also adapt. Artificial intelligence (AI) has become one of the most powerful tools in shaping the future of education. In the educational context, this means that machines can assist students in learning in a way more efficiently and personally. Let's explore how AI is transforming education and what role it plays in shaping the classroom of the future.

1 – Adapting Education to Individual Needs: Every student is unique, with different learning paces and comprehension styles. One of the main advantages of AI in education is its ability to offer personalized learning.

2 – Personalized Educational Content: AI does not only personalize the way content is presented, but also the content itself. It can generate learning materials based on each student's specific needs and interests.

3 – Prognostics: AI can analyze vast amounts of educational data to identify trends and patterns. This is especially useful for school administrators and teachers to make decisions and plan future action.

4 – Access to Education: AI-based education is not limited by geographical or temporal constraints. This is particularly important for those who have difficulty attending in-person classes due to geographical barriers or work commitments.

5 – Development of 21st Century Skills: Education is not only about acquiring knowledge but also about developing skills. AI helps students develop 21st-century skills such as critical thinking, problem-solving, and effective communication.

6 – Identification and Support for Diverse Learning: Every student is different, and some may have special needs. AI can identify students who need additional support and provide specific resources for their needs.

Conclusion

Taking all the above into account, the advantages that AI offers are irrefutable, and, in the area of education, it is no exception. However, despite all the potential benefits, the implementation of AI in education also raises challenges and ethical issues. US Government entities have proposed the parameters that educational entities must comply with, if they want to make use of AI. These regulations focus on privacy, equity and transparency, in order to protect the rights of students and also guarantee access to these innovations.

1 IT'S HAPPENED TO me half a dozen times, lately. I'm walking home through the Edinburgh Gardens and I see them heading towards me. Heavy kids, eight of them, maybe ten. I keep walking, but I keep my eyes on them, and my feet wait for the sign to take off.

2 They are Greeks and Italians, all adolescents, all wearing green or maroon cardigans with a double black stripe round the chest, Levis or Wranglers that fit just right, showing a bit of sock and reddish shoes with big heels. I move across to the outside of the footpath to let them pass. They spread out a little. They're close enough now in the almost-dark for me to see their faces.

3 And it's all right, because the front one is Chris, from Fitzroy High, and he says, 'Hello, miss!' and the others are kids who have grinned and nodded at me a hundred times in the yard at school.

4 I had taught migrants before, but Fitzroy High is one of those legendary inner-suburban schools which can no longer be properly described as Australian. In none of the classes I took were there more than four kids with Australian names. A blond head was a surprise. The administration battled to assimilate these kids into recognizable moulds. In a hundred subtle ways they were defeated.

5 Most of the girls had pierced ears and had worn gold earrings since they were babies. The line was that plain gold sleepers were the only ear decorations allowed. At the time when it was fashionable, in Australia, to wear a zillion colored plastic bangles up your arm, teachers strove hopelessly to prevent this display of gaiety at school. The girls went on wearing them and pulled their sleeves down when they saw a senior mistress coming. 

6 There were weekly segregated assemblies. I don't know what they told the boys, but at one girls' assembly I actually heard the senior mistress say, 'As girls we must be modest, quiet, hardworking and well-groomed at all times'.

7 What astonished me was the stubbornness of the kids' resistance to the rules. They didn't organize or protest. They defied. If the pressure got too much for them, they stayed away. And yet they hated to be suspended. One boy was suspended for a week, and every day I'd see him leaning against my front fence, staring wistfully at the school where his mates were tight-roping their way dangerously through the day.

8 In the three other schools I'd taught at, I'd been an authoritarian, a good disciplinarian. It wasn't only political or educational thinking that changed my attitude at Fitzroy High. It was the kids themselves. I suppose I fell in love with the whole nine hundred of them. In other schools, I'd known kids who were 'trouble-makers' or 'over-achievers', or ‘irresponsible' or 'antisocial. But somehow the kids at Fitzroy cut right through those categories.

9 To begin with, they made me laugh. I can't remember ever knowing such exuberant, merry kids. Every class had more than its share of natural clowns. The plays they invented were full of hilarious delight. In a second-form class I had for a year, two Italian boys called Claudio and Joseph used to present weekly plays so excruciatingly funny that we lay across the desks aching and wiping our eyes.

10 A kid called Ilya wrote wonderful, magical stories; he could write fairy tales his grandparents had told him in Yugoslavia. Lemonia could break your heart with a story about a lost fountain pen, and Dora with an account of her dreams. Their English may have been rocky, but there was a pure, delicate humour lying bone-deep in them that nothing could corrupt.
