All of us generally talk about intelligence. It is defined in many ways. For some, intelligence is a single, general ability. For others, intelligence encompasses a range of aptitudes, skills, and talents. However, we don’t find any consensus among experts when it comes to the components of intelligence. How accurately can one measure intelligence or is it even possible to measure it? Amid the varied opinions about the definition of intelligence, experts generally have a consensus that intelligence involves mental abilities – logic, reasoning, problem-solving, and planning.
Precisely, what I am talking about is human intelligence. In simpler terms, it deals with learning, reasoning and problem-solving, andrefers to consciousness, emotions and experiential understanding.
Even as deliberating upon human intelligence is an interesting activity, I would like to have a word with you on the type of intelligence which operates exclusively on data and algorithms. Yes, you have guessed it right – the Artificial Intelligence (AI). Artificial Intelligence is based on the unmatched capability of machines to imitate human cognitive functions such as learning, reasoning and problem-solving using algorithms and data-driven models. In other words, AI is based on pre-defined algorithms and data-driven models to perform specific tasks flawlessly. Today, AI is fast invading sectors and making massive disruptions in every field, be it healthcare, finance, education, transportation or any other area. The way Artificial Intelligence operates shows that it can outperform human intelligence in speed, accuracy and repetitive tasks, despite lacking consciousness and moral awareness.
So, in this fast developing scenario, it’s imperative for us to keep pace with the changing times, especially in the field of technology where its advanced product Artificial Intelligence is sweeping sectors. Our education sector is no exception to it. At this point of time, when AI driven changes are yet to explode in the education system, it makes sense for us as educators to examine the transformative potential of AI in our educational settings. We should not shy away from exploring use cases that illustrate how AI can personalize learning, streamline administrative tasks, and support diverse learning needs. We should also keep in mind that implementation of AI in education is not without its challenges. It’s of utmost importance to adopt responsible AI practices within the educational contexts. Here establishing guidelines for ethical AI use is paramount to ensure that these technologies contribute positively to the educational landscape, safeguarding the interests of students and educators alike.Artificial Intelligence is based on the unmatched capability of machines to imitate human cognitive functions such as learning, reasoning and problem-solving using algorithms and data-driven models.

It’s also important to remain aware that the potential of AI, be it traditional or generative, is outstanding. There are many AI products in place lacking proven efficacy. This makes it imperative for educators to critically evaluate their impact on teaching and learning. The given scenario loads educators with a crucial role in guiding and mentoring students. They have to ensure foundational skills remain a priority amidst the expanding product basket of AI.At this point of time, when AI driven changes are yet to explode in the education system, it makes sense for us as educators to examine the transformative potential of AI in our educational settings.

To be precise, there is a need to cultivate a growing understanding of AI. Last but not the least. Teacher readiness is a crucial component of the AI framework. Its successful implementation in teaching processes depends on educators’ capability to adapt to and utilize this technology. Remarkably, the Ministry of Education is set to introduce Artificial Intelligence (AI) in the school curriculum for all students from Class 3 onwards from the 2026-27 academic session. The move aims to prepare India’s future workforce for a technology-driven economy.Today, AI is fast invading sectors and making massive disruptions in every field, be it healthcare, finance, education, transportation or any other area.
