THE ROLE OF ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE IN DIGITAL EDUCATION PLATFORMS: DELIVERING QUALITY INSTRUCTION TO CHILDREN THROUGH MODERN TECHNOLOGIES

Abstract

This scholarly review analyzes the transformative impact of artificial intelligence (AI) on digital educational platforms during 2022–2025, highlighting a global paradigm shift from reactive to proactive AI-driven systems. With the AI education market expanding from $5.88 billion in 2022 to a projected $10.5 billion by 2025, AI has become a foundational infrastructure in modern education. Empirical data indicate that 80% of K–12 educators and 44% of students already use AI-based platforms such as Google Classroom, DreamBox, and Eduaide.AI. AI now plays critical roles in adaptive learning pathways, automated assessment, intelligent virtual tutoring, generative content creation, and predictive learning analytics. Studies confirm measurable improvements in academic achievement, with adaptive systems increasing learner performance by 45–60% and AI reducing educator administrative workload by up to 70%. However, significant challenges persist — including data privacy risks, algorithmic bias, educator readiness gaps, and over-reliance concerns. This review emphasizes that AI should serve as a collaborative augmentation of human educators rather than a replacement. The years 2025–2030 are expected to herald proactive, anticipatory AI systems capable of personalized academic, social-emotional, and ethical learner support. Responsible, ethical integration of AI — supported by professional development and equity frameworks — is essential for realizing its full potential in enabling global educational access and personalized learning at scale.
