Artificial intelligence (AI) and related technologies are increasingly prevalent in business and society; besides, they have been applied to education. These technologies have the potential to transform many aspects of the teaching - learning process.
Basic activities in education like grading can be automated with the help of AI. At educational institutes, marking a large number of tests and assignments is tedious work. Teachers often find that grading takes up a considerable amount of time which can be used to interact with students and prepare for class. AI, at present, may not be able to actually replace human grading; however, it's getting pretty close. Nearly all kinds of multiple choice and fill-in-the blank testing can now be performed by Al-driven machines, and automated grading of student writing may not be far behind. Essay-grading softwares are still in their infancy, yet they will be fully developed over the coming years, allowing teachers to focus more on classroom activities and professional development.
Learners can also get additional support from AI. For instance, tutoring programs based on artificial intelligence already exist to help students with basic courses of mathematics, writing, foreign language, etc. With the rapid pace of technological advancement in recent years, sophisticated tutoring systems which can help students learn high order thinking and stimulate their creativity will not be a pipe dream. Moreover, Al programs can give learners useful feedback and assistance. Some schools, especially those with online courses, are using AI systems to monitor students' progress. These systems not only offer students advice on individual courses but also help students choose majors in accordance with areas where they succeed or struggle.
For better or worse, AI systems have taken place in certain types of classroom activities. In the next decades, their influences will extend significantly, which offers both teacher and students a much wider range of services.

Whales are the largest animals in the world, and the gentlest creatures we know. Although the whale is very huge, it is not hindered at all by its size when it is in the water. Whales have tails that end like flippers. With just a gentle flick, it can propel itself forward. The skin of a whale is so smooth that it does not create any friction that can slow the whale down. A whale’s breathing hole is located on the top of its head, so it can breathe without having to completely push its head out of the water. Whales are protected from the cold seawater by body fat that is called blubber.
Whales live in the ocean but, in terms of behaviors, they are more similar to humans than fish. They live in family groups and they even travel in groups when they have to migrate from cooler to warmer waters. The young stay with their parents for as long as fifteen years. Whales are known not to desert the ill or injured members; instead, they cradle them.
When whales are in danger, there are people who go to great lengths to help them. One such case occurred in 1988, when three young whales were trapped in the sea. It was close to winter and the sea had begun to freeze over. Whales are mammals that require oxygen from the air, so the frozen ice was a great danger to them. All they had then was a tiny hole in the ice for them to breathe through. Volunteers from all over soon turned up to help these creatures. They cut holes in the ice to provide more breathing holes for the whales. These holes would also serve as guides for the whales so that they could swim to warmer waters.
