In the realm of education, AI presents opportunities to revolutionize learning methodologies and adapt to the evolving needs of students. AI can also help educators and students to foster skills, values, and agency for a better future. Moreover, AI can make learning more accessible, personalized, and engaging for all students, regardless of their location, background, or abilities. By using AI in education, we can enhance the quality and efficiency of education, and support the achievement of the global education goals.
