Artificial intelligence in School Curriculum
Artificial intelligence advances day by day. It is the ability of a computer program or a machine to think and learn. The role of Artificial Intelligence in education is a hot topic. AI is now a part of our lives whether we know it or not, and hence it is important to introduce our students to concepts around this. We’re always looking for ways to help our kids learn better, especially in the tech distraction age. As the world is advancing with new technologies like Artificial intelligence, Robotics, IoT we need to equip our students with these emerging technological knowledge from a young age itself. There are lots of advantages of introducing artificial intelligence in schools not only for students but also for the teachers and schools as well. Introducing such topics at the right age can help the students to improve their technical skills and critical thinking that enhance their learning experience. To prepare the students for the digital world, deep knowledge about how the technology works and is being created is very crucial. The goal of this program is to build a large understanding of AI among teachers and students. Artificial intelligence covers a broad range of domains and applications and is expected to impact every field in the future.
