The results provide insights into an overview of the AI used for education domain, which helps to strengthen the theoretical foundation of AI in education and provides a promising channel for educators and AI engineers to carry out further collaborative research.

Artificial intelligence (AI) literacy has emerged to equip students with digital skills for effective evaluation, communication, collaboration, and ethical use of AI in online, home, and workplace settings. Countries are increasingly developing AI curricula to support students' technological skills for future studies and careers. However, there is a lack of reviews summarizing AI education in secondary schools. This study aims to provide an up-to-date summary of the literature, informing researchers, policymakers, and educators on fostering students' AI literacy. A thematic analysis of 50 AI e...

Artificial intelligence (AI) literacy has recently emerged on the educational agenda raising expectations on teachers' and teacher educators' professional knowledge. This scoping review examines how the scientific literature conceptualises AI literacy in relation to teachers' different forms of professional knowledge relevant for Teacher Education (TE). The search strategy included papers and proceedings from 2000 to 2023 related to AI literacy and TE as well as the intersection of AI and teaching. Thirty-four papers were included in the analysis. The Aristotelian concepts episteme (theoretica...

Nowadays, Artificial Intelligence (AI) literacy has become an emerging topic in digital literacy education research. However, it is still under-explored in early childhood education (ECE) since the AI curriculum for young children has just been designed in recent years. A scoping review was conducted to examine the thematic and content analysis of 16 empirical papers from 2016 to 2022. This scoping reviews evaluate, synthesize, and display 16 studies on AI literacy in early childhood education, including curriculum design, AI tools, pedagogical approaches, research designs, assessment methods,...

How AI tools have augmented teaching and learning in CS50, specifically in explaining code snippets, improving code style, and accurately responding to curricular and administrative queries on the course's discussion forum is detailed.

This study aims to review the current literature that covers the attitudes of medical students towards AI, implementation of AI in the medical curriculum, and describe the need for more research in this area.

This research paper explores how the integration of Artificial Intelligence (AI) in the education sector is bringing about transformative changes, particularly within the frameworks of Education 4.0 and 5.0. In response to the evolving technological landscape, education is undergoing a shift to address the challenges of the 21st century, moving away from traditional models to embrace more personalized and adaptive approaches. Education 4.0 represents a significant shift where technology, notably AI, is harnessed to enhance the learning experience. The paper investigates the utilization of AI t...

A horizon scan of the key themes that have emerged over the past few years during the AIEd debate is offered, including geopolitical dominance through education and technological innovation, and creation and expansion of market niches.

The key finding is that artificial intelligence—in the context of the practices of electronic computing developing over the past three quarters of a century—will never in any sense “take over” the role of teacher, because how it works and what it does are so profoundly different from human intelligence.

The investigation reveals that the promotion of AI literacy education has seen significant progress in the past two decades, and highlights that intelligent agents, including Google’s Teachable Machine, Learning ML, and Machine Learning for Kids, are age-appropriate tools for AI literacy education in K-12 contexts.

With the rapid technological development of society brought on by Artificial Intelligence (AI), the demand for AI-literate workers will increase in the future. It is critical to develop the next generation's AI competencies and educate them about how to work with and use AI. Previous studies on AI were predominantly focused on secondary and university education; however, research on the Artificial Intelligence curriculum in early childhood education is scarce. Due to the lack of conformity on the standardisation of AI curriculum for early childhood education, this study examines the AI curricu...

This study develops a model of curriculum design that includes the four aspects of content, produce, process, and praxis of artificial intelligence education in K-12 schools, and proposes a holistic approach to design AI K- 12 curriculum.

This report proposes an operational definition of artificial intelligence to be adopted in the context of AI Watch, the Commission knowledge service to monitor the development, uptake and impact of artificial intelligence for Europe. The definition, which will be used as a basis for the AI Watch monitoring activity, is established by means of a flexible scientific methodology that allows regular revision. The operational definition is constituted by a concise taxonomy and a list of keywords that characterise the core domains of the AI research field, and transversal topics such as applications...

AI in structural biology is briefly overviewed, including in molecular dynamics simulations and prediction of microbiota–human protein–protein interactions, and their powerful impact on the life sciences.

While media and policy discourse often portray China’s AI development in terms of a unified national strategy, and a burgeoning geopolitical contestation for future global dominance, this analysis will suggest a more nuanced internal complexity, involving differing regional networks and international corporate activity.

Generative AI, specifically ChatGPT, represents a significant technological advancement in natural language processing (NLP) large language models (LLM) with far-reaching implications in many dimensions of our lives, including education. This paper discusses the prospects of generative AI in utilizing language and its potential role as a conversational agent within the educational realm. Emulating the most advanced human technology, language, generative AI’s success relies on understanding and generating human-like text. However, its comprehension is solely based on patterns and structures it ...

This study examines AI studies in education in half a century through a systematic review approach and benefits from social network analysis and text-mining approaches, and suggests five broad research themes including adaptive learning and personalization of education through AI-based practices.

While ChatGPT has recently become very popular, AI has a long history and philosophy. This paper intends to explore the promises and pitfalls of the Generative Pre-trained Transformer (GPT) AI and potentially future technologies by adopting a speculative methodology. Speculative future narratives with a specific focus on educational contexts are provided in an attempt to identify emerging themes and discuss their implications for education in the 21st century. Affordances of (using) AI in Education (AIEd) and possible adverse effects are identified and discussed which emerge from the narrative...

It is ascertained that AI has extensively been adopted and used in education, particularly by education institutions, in different forms, and has been customized and personalized in line with students’ needs, which has fostered uptake and retention, thereby improving learners experience and overall quality of learning.

An unprecedented brain drain of Artificial Intelligence (AI) professors from universities from 2004 to 2018 is documented, and it is found that students from the affected universities establish fewer AI startups and raise less funding.
