Chapter 8.7c Artificial intelligence

http://www.tonybates.ca/wp-content/uploads/asssociates.jpgBy . Artificial intelligence (AI) is a daunting topic as there are so many issues with respect to its use in education. AI is also currently going through yet another period of extreme hype as a panacea for education, currently being at the top of the peak of inflated expectations, but this hype is driven mainly by successful applications outside the field of education, such as in finance and marketing.
