Challenges and Future Prospects of IoT and AI Integration in Education

Integration of IoT and AI has tremendous potential to revolutionize education and usher in a new era of technological advancement in the field. This chapter delves deeply into the difficulties and potential benefits of such a merger. IoT's vast network of devices and sensors makes possible unprecedented real-time data collecting; AI's tremendous ability to evaluate this data and provide actionable insights has the potential to radically alter the educational landscape. Important worries about data safety, ownership, and unlawful access arise as a result of these new obstacles. The massive data stores generated by IoT devices in particular highlight critical concerns about privacy and security. There are also technical hurdles to overcome, such as ensuring the smooth operation of IoT devices and the compatibility of various AI systems. The future of schooling may improve, though. Strict security standards in schools, promoting standardization for easy integration, and investing in specialist teacher training are all highly recommended. These precautions can help maximize the advantages while mitigating the risks associated with the convergence of technologies.
