(4) Educators play a vital role in integrating AI into the learning process. (5). AI can redefine success in education and cultivate future-proof skills. (6). Responsive and adaptable educational policies are necessary. (7) The future of education lies in harnessing AI while nurturing human intelligence.

Research limitations/implications

Not appropriate for style of text.

Practical implications

(1) Educators should actively engage with AI technologies and explore ways to integrate them into the learning process to enhance personalized learning experiences. (2) Professional development programs should be designed to equip teachers with the necessary skills to effectively utilize AI tools and leverage them to improve instructional practices. (3) Curriculum frameworks need to be revised to integrate AI literacy, digital citizenship and ethical considerations into the educational journey of young learners. (4) Educational institutions should invest in AI-powered assessment tools that provide a holistic understanding of a student’s abilities, capturing their strengths and areas for improvement beyond test scores. (5) Educators should focus on teaching metacognitive strategies, encouraging self-reflection and self-assessment and providing opportunities for students to develop problem-solving and critical-thinking skills. (6) Active learning strategies, such as project-based learning, problem-based learning and inquiry-based learning, should be employed to foster deep learning and knowledge mastery. (7) Educational policies should encourage innovation and collaboration between educational institutions, government bodies and industry stakeholders to ensure responsiveness to the rapidly evolving landscape of AI in education. (8) Educators should strive to create a learning environment that nurtures and celebrates the unique capabilities of human intelligence while harnessing the power of AI to enhance the learning experience.

Social implications

(1) Workforce preparedness for an AI-driven future. (2) Potential exacerbation of societal inequalities. (3) Fostering human–AI collaboration skills. (4) Addressing ethical concerns regarding data privacy and security. (5) Emphasizing lifelong learning to adapt to changing demands. (6) Redefining success through a holistic view of student abilities. (7) Shaping societal values that balance human intelligence and AI capabilities. The education system must address these implications to ensure equitable access to AI-enhanced learning, maintain public trust and prepare individuals for a society where human–AI collaboration is essential, while promoting a balanced and harmonious coexistence between human intelligence and AI.

Originality/value

The article “Nurturing Human Intelligence in the Age of AI: Rethinking Education for the Future” offers a fresh perspective on the impact of AI on education. While the topic of AI in education is not novel, the article’s emphasis on nurturing human intelligence alongside AI integration sets it apart. The author’s call for a fundamental shift in education systems to prioritise critical thinking, creativity and problem-solving skills is a unique approach. The article’s exploration of Learning Mastery and Knowledge Mastery as key concepts in preparing students for an AI-driven future adds originality to the discussion. Overall, the article presents a thought-provoking and original viewpoint on the future of education in the age of AI.

Abstract

Background: Artificial intelligence (AI) is a booming sector that has profoundly influenced every walk of life, and the education sector is no exception. In education, AI has helped to develop novel teaching and learning solutions that are currently being tested in various contexts. Businesses and governments across the globe have been pouring money into a wide array of implementations, and dozens of EdTech start-ups are being funded to capitalise on this technological force. The penetration of AI in classroom teaching is also a profound matter of discussion. These have garnered massive amounts of student big data and have a significant impact on the life of both students and educators alike.

Purpose: The prime focus of this chapter is to extensively review and analyse the vast literature available on the utilities of AI in health care, learning, and development. The specific objective of thematic exploration of the literature is to explicate the principal facets and recent advances in the development and employment of AI in the latter. This chapter also aims to explore how the EdTech and healthcare–education sectors would witness a paradigm shift with the advent and incorporation of AI.

Design/Methodology/Approach: To provide context and evidence, relevant publications were identified on ScienceDirect, PubMed, and Google Scholar using keywords like AI, education, learning, health care, and development. In addition, the latest articles were also thoroughly reviewed to underscore recent advances in the same field.

Results: The implementation of AI in the learning, development, and healthcare sector is rising steeply, with a projected expansion of about 50% by 2022. These algorithms and user interfaces economically facilitate efficient delivery of the latter.

Conclusions: The EdTech and healthcare sector has great potential for a spectrum of AI-based interventions, providing access to learning opportunities and personalised experiences. These interventions are often economic in the long run compared to conventional modalities. However, several ethical and regulatory concerns should be addressed before the complete adoption of AI in these sectors.

Originality/Value: The value in exploring this topic is to present a view on the potential of employing AI in health care, medical education, and learning and development. It also intends to open a discussion of its potential benefits and a remedy to its shortcomings.

Abstract

The Milk (Amendment) Order, 1917, which came into force on December 31st, provides that milk shall be sold retail only by Imperial measure; that no colouring matter shall be added to milk or cream intended for sale; that no milk to which any water has been added shall knowingly be sold or offered for sale; that no person may use for the purpose of his trade any milk can or milk bottle which bears the name, trade name, trade mark, or trade device of some person other than himself or his employer, except with the consent of such person. The Order contains a new clause, in substitution for Clauses 4 and 6 of the Milk Order, 1917 (which are revoked), providing that where milk is sold wholesale by or on behalf of any person other than the producer the maximum prices chargeable shall, unless otherwise determined, pursuant to the Order, be as follows:—
