AI's Potential to Improve Education in Developing Countries
Artificial intelligence (AI) has the potential to significantly improve education in developing countries. By leveraging chatbots, AI can provide individualized instruction to students, helping to compensate for the lack of qualified teachers in many regions. For example, in Kenya, an educational chatbot called M-Daktari is being developed to guide students through the learning process in subjects like math and language, providing step-by-step instructions and examples. AI can also assist teachers with lesson planning, tracking attendance, and identifying students who may need additional support.
