Artificial intelligence has infiltrated every field of life. It makes the human living very easy and comfortable with the continuous success in every profession. It is benefiting mankind in health care services, jobs, domestic uses and any other. Have you ever wonder whether it also benefit education or not? What are its impacts on education?How will students and teachers benefit from AI? 

 Let us discuss the benefits of artificial intelligence that students are enjoying. With the advent of widespread artificial intelligence usage, the education department cannot resist itself from making their duties and jobs easy. Robots are not replacing the teachers and other faculty members in the teaching institutions but it is helping the staff as well as students. 

 In the past few years, a collection of hardware, software, and online services have brought changes and reforms to classrooms and teaching methods. But the true disruption of benefits of artificial intelligence in education is yet to arrive. 

 In this article, we will discuss that how students will benefit from artificial intelligence. Some of the benefits are listed below: 

• It can be very difficult for teachers to meet the needs of every individual student to enhance their learning e.g. normal and special students. AI technology easily adapt to each student’s individual learning needs and can target instruction based on their strengths and weaknesses. It is a great help for teachers and a more meaningful learning experience for students. 
• In today age, where feedback acts as a reinforcement whether it’s positive or negative. It was very challenging for teachers to feedback each and every student one by one. But now this became easy due to machines. With advanced artificial intelligence, students can feel comfortable to make mistakes necessary for learning and instantly receive the feedback they need for improvement.
• The grading system is one of the most tedious tasks for teachers as it is very time-consuming. Nowadays, machines are so advanced that they can do much more than simply grading an exam with an answer key. But they can compile data about how students performed and even grade more abstract assessments such as essays or numerical. 
• The feedback from students is also important on the course quality as well as from teachers on the students' achievements. AI technology can identify gaps in the course content based on student academic performance on assessments. Students are allowed to fill those available feedback form related to their course content and their teacher's performance so that educators can deliver targeted improvements in materials and methods. 
• Now machines are progressed in a way that they are eliminating the distance barrier among students and teachers. Machines are taking on the role of humans in many capacities, including tutors. Not only human tutors but also Intelligent Tutoring Systems can enhance a student’s learning style and pre-existing knowledge to deliver customized support services and instruction. 
• One of the key ways that artificial intelligence will impact education is through the application of greater levels of individualized learning e.g. through different software. It is happening now through growing numbers of adaptive learning programs, games, and software. These systems respond effectively to the needs of the student, making students learn with fun, repeating things that they haven’t mastered and generally helping them to work at their own pace.
