This book covers comprehensively the topics of upcoming AI technology implemented or being implemented in the education sector. It provides substantial literature reviews from large language models to foundation models to generative AI, where AI is transforming education and presenting great opportunities alongside critical challenges. This book showcase recent efforts made on the sharing of AI for classroom teaching, learning analytics, assessment with emphasis placed on AI for professional and pedagogical practices in higher education. Initiatives such as the EU’s Digital Education Action Plan are discussed focusing on early development of digital competencies. The case studies covers the INFINITE and NALA projects which were carried out at the Nanyang Technological University, Singapore. This book also looks into AI impacts on the work force with substantial jobs undergoing radical changes, and AI raised concerns regarding academic integrity, validity, reliability, and fairness in education.
