THE ROLE OF ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE IN PERSONALIZED EDUCATION

The digital age has opened new frontiers of knowledge, research, and innovation across all fields of science and society. The accelerated advancement of technologies in various segments of the Fourth Industrial Revolution, particularly robotics and artificial intelligence, is becoming increasingly evident. Artificial Intelligence (AI) represents the future that has already begun, with vast potential for transformation. Despite justified concerns over potential misuse, adapting to contemporary trends and incorporating AI into education is inevitable. Changes in education are still in their infancy. Numerous applications of AI can enhance teaching and learning processes, with key areas including personalized learning (individualized instruction), student progress tracking, task automation, tailored resources for teachers, on-demand learning, learning through interaction, data analysis, access to textbooks and online resources, and translation. This paper focuses on the role of AI in creating a personalized approach to students. AI serves as a valuable support tool, assisting teachers in providing a better educational experience for students and improving their practices. However, the teacher continues to play a dominant role in shaping and guiding the learning process. By thoughtfully integrating AI with pedagogical strategies, education can become more efficient, relevant, and tailored to the demands of contemporary society.
