The current state of AI applications in early childhood education and the challenges it faces
Journal: Region - Educational Research and Reviews DOI: 10.32629/rerr.v6i7.2578
Abstract
The rapid advancement of artificial intelligence (AI) technology is profoundly impacting various industries, with the field of education being no exception. In early childhood education, the application of AI extends beyond mere computation and data processing; it encompasses an ongoing cognitive process aimed at enhancing teaching effectiveness, optimizing learning experiences, and promoting educational equity. However, despite the promising prospects of AI in early childhood education, numerous challenges remain. This paper explores the current state of AI applications in early childhood education and the challenges it faces and then offers sustainable insights and recommendations for the future development of AI in this domain.
