BALab seminars — AI Open Seminar, Exploring Trustworthiness and Self-Supervised Learning in Artificial Intelligence

Abstract

Adaptive and Personalised Education System using AI:
Exploring the process of designing an AI-powered system to tailor educational experiences to the unique needs of each student. By leveraging advanced algorithms and data analysis, the system adapts learning pathways, pace, and methods of experimental activities in online STEM labs and delivers targeted feedback based on real-time student performance to match individual capabilities and preferences, aiming to enhance engagement, understanding, and overall academic success. This approach emphasizes a student-centered approach, supporting critical thinking and problem-solving skills.
