AI AND PERSONALIZED LEARNING IN HIGHER EDUCATION INSTRUCTIONS IN GEORGIA

Abstract

In recent times, there has been a rapid and significant advancement in technology. Computers have gained increased processing power, the internet has been introduced, and researchers have made significant strides in developing AI algorithms. Among these advancements, ChatGPT has emerged as a prominent figure in the realm of artificial intelligence, finding applications in various aspects of life, with education being a notable example. Utilized by millions, this AI chatbot excels in responding to queries, narrating stories, generating web code, and grasping highly intricate concepts.

This technological progress is poised to bring about a substantial transformation in global workforces. Simultaneously, nations are focusing on their education systems to foster high-level proficiency in AI—a crucial requirement not only for survival but for thriving in the midst of the ongoing fifth industrial revolution.

AI can greatly benefit youngsters in education, particularly through the promotion of personalized learning. It places the learner at the core of the education system. This approach goes beyond traditional concepts of differentiation (tailoring teaching to individual learning preferences) and individualization (adjusting teaching pace to different learning needs). It extends to connecting with the learner’s interests and experiences, aiming to meet the unique needs, abilities, and interests of each student.

The paper presents the study carried out from May to July 2023, encompassing both private and state higher education institutions in Georgia. The principal aim of this survey was to acquire valuable insights into the application and utilization of artificial intelligence within the educational framework.
