Benefits, Challenges and Solutions of Artificial Intelligence Applied in Education

Abstract

With the rapid development of artificial intelligence, it brings several novel ideas for further developing education. In this paper, we first introduce the benefits of artificial intelligence applied in education from the perspectives of students, teachers and educational administrators. To be specific, artificial intelligence can help students achieve personalized learning, help teachers conduct targeted teaching and help educational administrators make decisions. However, artificial intelligence is a double-edged sword, and thus we also analyze four serious challenges caused by the application of artificial intelligence in education, including incomplete algorithm design, insufficient labelled data, excessive technical dependence and unreliable security guarantee. To promote the healthy development of artificial intelligence in education, we finally explore the feasible solutions to the proposed challenges in turn, which are user-driven design, scientific labelling, rational use and security enhancement, respectively.
