As a consequence of the advent of new technologies, teaching and learning methods have evolved dramatically. Artificial intelligence (AI) applications in educational settings are becoming increasingly apparent as a result of rapid development of AI technology in recent years. Adaptive learning, smart campus, teacher evaluation, intelligent tutoring robots, and virtual classrooms are only a few of the applications of educational-AI that is explored in this article. After evaluating the impact of AI technology on teaching and learning, it is conclusively inferred that AI has a beneficial effect on both the quality of instruction provided by teachers, as well as on the learning outcomes of students. Towards the end, the article discusses the possible challenges that AI applications in education may face, instances of AI’s potential in helping schools to improve, and thereby promoting educational reforms.
