Abstract
In recent years, Artificial Intelligence (AI) has witnessed significant progress. Some techniques like Natural Language Processing have been developed and improved, and the areas of AI application have been expanded. The use of AI-based technology is increasingly popular in many different environments. One of these environments is education, as it can also benefit from the advantages that AI offers. In this article, we research the application of Artificial Intelligence in the education field. Our systematic research has identified various studies that demonstrate multiple ways of applying AI-based tools in student learning environments. These various studies have been analysed, leading to the identification of reported advantages of AI in educational contexts. Interest in AI for education is significant, as AI holds substantial promise in terms of the learning experience and outcomes for participants.
