At the India Today Education Conclave, an essential discussion was held regarding the state of India's education system, its challenges, and emerging trends. Esteemed educators participated, providing insights into the current educational landscape while addressing pressing challenges and proposing solutions for improvement. One of the significant areas of focus was the integration of Artificial Intelligence (AI) in educational practices, which was elaborated upon by Professor Kamal Bijlani from Amrita Vishwa Vidyapeetham’s School of Artificial Intelligence.

Professor Bijlani underscored the transformative role that AI can play within the education sector. He introduced the concept of 'Shakti AI' and demonstrated its applications, including how AI can assist in making appointments. During his presentation, he showcased a demo where an AI agent efficiently interacted with a caller, collecting personal information and using it to recommend appropriate doctors from a database. This practical demonstration highlighted the potential benefits of AI, not just in healthcare but also in streamlining processes within the education system.

The discussions at the conclave reflected a growing recognition of the importance of AI in changing traditional educational paradigms and enhancing efficiency in various sectors. The introduction of AI agents promises to make crucial tasks, like booking appointments or providing tutoring, more accessible and user-friendly, indicating a significant shift in how educational services may be delivered in the future and how AI can bridge gaps in the current system.
