Artificial Intelligence and the National Education Policy (NEP) 2020 – Integrated Education

Abstract

The integration of Artificial Intelligence(AI) into education has become a defining feature of 21st-century pedagogical transformation. AI technologies such as intelligent tutoring systems, adaptive learning platforms, and predictive analytics are reshaping teaching and learning into more personalized, data-driven processes. In the Indian context, the National Education Policy (NEP) 2020 envisions leveraging technology, including AI, to foster innovation, inclusivity, and lifelong learning. Artificial Intelligence (AI), encompassing technologies that simulate human cognitive processes such as reasoning, learning, and decision-making, is at the forefront of this transformation. AI applications ranging from intelligent tutoring systems and adaptive learning platforms to chat bots and predictive analytics are reshaping traditional pedagogy into more learner-centered and data-informed models. In the Indian context, the National Education Policy (NEP) 2020 envisions the nation‘s transition into a global knowledge economy through technology integration and skill-based learning.
