Artificial intelligence, the new trend and challenge of education
Abstract
Artificial Intelligence (AI), first proposed at the Dartmouth Conference in 1956, has achieved remarkable achievements with near 70 years' development. With the continuous development of AI, especially the rise of generative AI (GAI) since ChatGPT, also called Large Language Models (LLMs), it has transformed educational landscapes globally [1]. Recently, the integration of AI/GAI in education (AIED) has become focused point, mainly introducing AI to create better personalized learning experience, propose adaptive assessment methods, and construct human-like tutoring systems [2]. In the future, AIED is expected to further promote the digital and intelligent transformation of education.
