Reason for Selection: Education is increasingly personalized, with AI playing a pivotal role in tailoring learning experiences to individual needs. AI-driven adaptive education systems analyze student performance, learning styles, and behavioral patterns to adjust content and pacing dynamically. This topic enhances my understanding of AI’s role in democratizing education, aligning with previous research on AI in behavioral economics and human-centered AI applications.



Key Findings:



AI for Personalized Learning Pathways



AI-driven platforms adjust coursework and learning materials based on student strengths, weaknesses, and learning speed.



Example: Carnegie Learning’s AI-based tutor adapts lesson difficulty in real-time based on student comprehension.
