Abstract

The AI era is upon us, and it is still within our power to ensure it brings prosperity for all.\n\n(Kristalina Georgieva, International Monetary Fund)\n\nCoined by McCarthy et al. (Citation1955), the term ‘artificial intelligence’ (AI) refers to the ability of a digital machine to emulate human cognition and decision-making. Ever since AI has transformed production systems and other jobs and non-job-related activities. Meanwhile, a new research area has emerged: AI in Education (AIED), which studies how teaching and learning practices and program development may ‘benefit’ from applying AI technologies like intelligent tutoring systems, chatbots, and automated assessment.
