Abstract

In the present era, artificial intelligence is a buzz word and it has an impact on various
sectors like healthcare, e-commerce, education, etc. Most of the mobile users use AI-based voice
assistants like Siri or Google assistant. Astudy about AI reveals that 71% of participants agree that AI
allows people to solve difficult issues and to improve life. People use AI-inspired technologies more
than they know they are using. It does seem that the future of Artificial Intelligence will very bright. For
the overall development of a nation depends mostly upon its education system. Day by day, the role
of it in every sector is increasing including education sector. United Nations' goal is to provide quality
education to every person and India will play a major role in this goal achievement. India is a
developing country and has younger population in comparison to any country. In terms of population,
nd India is the 2 largest country and the strength of its students is more than the population of the USA.
In addition, it is projected that the population of young people in India will be highest in the world by
2030. In India, there is a shortage of teachers. To compensate for this shortage, AI can play a key role
in the education sector in India. AI can help teachers, students, and non-teaching staff in different
ways and save time and resources. In the present article, it is discussed about the various roles of AI
in the Indian education sector such as it can help teachers in preparing lesson plans according to the
class and students, help in reducing the work related to non-teaching activities, provide actionable
feedback, improving in teaching techniques, etc. AI can also help in various administrative work of an
educational institute for example making online exams more secure, computerized grading etc. AI
also helps students as supporting tutor, understanding lectures by more practical experience by
using VR etc. India also launches many programs to help teachers and students such as “MOOC
(massive open-online courses)” and “SWAYAM (Study webs of active learning for young aspiring
minds)” and AI can support for success of these types of programs.
