There is no doubt that the adoption of AI in the education sector has enhanced learning. EDtech gives students and teachers a place to share their thoughts and expertise at any time and from any part of the world. The additional advantage that a student experiences is customized learning, in which AI evaluates the student's study patterns and then recommends modules based on his/her understanding and requirements.”

AI has become a part of everyday life; in schools, teachers are using AI to monitor students' daily performance while students, on the other hand, can access every single chapter or session from any location in the world via wifi. Though AI has been introduced in every sector for a decade. It has gained popularity in the education sector, since the initial outbreak of the Covid epidemic. AI entered the picture and enabled students to learn at any time, from anywhere, at a time when the entire educational system was on the point of collapse. Now that the pandemic threat has passed and school operations have almost returned to normal, the education sector is still using AI in different forms providing young students with customized learning experiences.”
