COMPOUNDING ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE IN INDIA'S EDUCATIONAL LANDSCAPE: POTENTIAL POSSIBILITIES AND CRITICAL CHALLENGES

The main goal of this study is to determine the benefits of artificial intelligence (AI) for India's educational future. A qualitative research, based on the interpretive model, was conducted with senior management level staff from India's top-performing EdTech companies to determine this. The analysis goals were discussed in focused group interviews with three to five participants from each of these organisations, resulting in a total of 306 senior management, owners, and directors involved in the report. Using the NVivo and Concordance software programmes, interviews were transcribed and emerging topics were analysed for substance and debate. According to recent studies, AI is very likely to revolutionise India's educational environment and cause massive disruptions in conventional pedagogy. However, the spread of artificial intelligence in India's educational environment has been met with a number of significant challenges. This study, which is focused on first-hand accounts of top managers' interactions, not only paves the way for recognising obstacles, but also offers an emancipatory roadmap for dealing with the new problems that will arise as AI grows exponentially in the country in the coming years.
