Therefore, wesee artificial intelligence (AI) as a transformative force in education which has a large potentialto offer solutions to challenges posed by traditional, standardized instructional methods.Specifically, modern AI models offer the ability to generate new content in real-time, makingtruly adaptive learning [2] a possibility.
