Artificial Intelligence is the solution for problems like quality of education, prediction of dropouts, assessment of student needs and access issues etc. observed in Indian schools and colleges but there are some challenges in adoption of Artificial Intelligence in India, if we replace men with artificial man then there is a situation of mass unemployment because one artificial man equals to hundred men. Overall, we conclude that, today India is not ready for Artificial Intelligence because India is a developing nation and mostly depend on its human resource but future holds a lot of possibilities for Artificial Intelligence in India.

Abstract


Artificial Intelligence is the most advance technology of our time. It is a smart device capable of performing tasks that normally require human intelli-gence. We are just at the beginning to see the possibilities of artificial intelligence in education. There is a prediction that in future participation of human teacher in classrooms would up to maintain discipline and assist Artificial Intelligence devices while machines will do the real job of teaching. In India, Gross Enrolment Ratio (GER) in schools and colleges is increasing but there is a problem of poor learning outcome and low retention rate (dropout of students). There are many factors that pose challenges to improving the quality of education like there is a single teacher for multi-grade classroom in small and remote villages where students of different grade sit in same classroom, large teacher vacancies due to uneven distribution across location, low adoption and lack of knowledge about how to use these existing technologies. Artificial Intelligence is the solution for problems like quality of education, prediction of dropouts, assessment of student needs and access issues etc. observed in Indian schools and colleges but there are some challenges in adoption of Artificial Intelligence in India, if we replace men with artificial man then there is a situation of mass unemployment because one artificial man equals to hundred men. Overall, we conclude that, today India is not ready for Artificial Intelligence because India is a developing nation and mostly depend on its human resource but future holds a lot of possibilities for Artificial Intelligence in India.
