Abstract

Evolving from the ideas of Alan M. Turing and his colleagues in computer design who worked on the analogy between the human brain and the computer in the 1940s and early 1950s, Artificial intelligence (AI) has permeated many disciplines. This paper x-rays the concept of AI and its branches, dwelling on the role of AI in education and national development (AIEDND). In this review paper, insights have been sought into three critical questions: (1) How does artificial intelligence contribute to teaching, learning and research? (2) How does artificial intelligence contribute to national development? (3) What are the challenges of the use of AI in education and national development? The extensive literature review followed by the content analytical review of some research articles reveals a plethora of AI applications in education and national development, encompassing those for adaptive learning and personalized tutoring, intelligent assessment and management, profiling and prediction, and emerging products. The paper also examines the adoption, impacts, and challenges associated with AIEDND. In summary, this research offers valuable insights for interested scholars to comprehend the current state of AI applications in education and national development (AIEDND) and to identify future research opportunities in this dynamic field.
