Abstract

This chapter traces the evolution of artificial intelligence in education, mapping its trajectory from early computer-assisted instruction to the sophisticated AI systems reshaping today's learning environments. By contextualizing technological progress within historical shifts in pedagogy, it explores how each phase of innovation responded to specific educational needs and social pressures. The discussion critically examines the milestones that led to current AI applications, such as personalized learning platforms, predictive analytics, and virtual teaching assistants. More than a timeline, the chapter reflects on the changing role of educators and the persistent ethical and equity challenges AI introduces. Ultimately, it offers insights into how a historically grounded understanding of AI's development can inform future-proof curriculum strategies that balance innovation with humanistic values.
