AI-powered personalized learning platforms are changing how students learn all over the world. These systems change the content on the fly, making sure that each student gets the help they need based on their strengths, weaknesses, and pace of learning. AI personalization could change education in Africa, where there aren ' t enough teachers and classrooms are overcrowded.
Platforms such as Khan Academy ' s Khanmigo, Duolingo ' s AI tutor, and DreamBox Learning all use AI to create personalized learning paths. Millions of students in China use Squirrel AI to get personalized learning experiences, which have been shown to work. AI analytics are used by colleges and universities in the US and UK to keep an eye on how students are doing and make early interventions.
Embracing such platforms can help keep classrooms from getting overcrowded in Africa. People who support teaching in native languages in areas with a lot of different languages can receive support from these platforms, by using mobile technology to give those in rural areas better education.
M-Shule in Kenya is an example of a current SMS-based artificial intelligence personalized education platform similar to Nigeria’ s uLesson, a personalized learning using very little bandwidth. Eneza Education, makes use of feature phones to access customized quizzes.
One of the major concerns about the available solutions is the protection of the private data of the children. With the increased adoption of data protection and privacy laws across Africa, these innovations need to incorporate rigorous cybersecurity measures in their products.

Ubongo Learning in Tanzania is an example that uses AI to improve lesson planning. Siyavula in South Africa uses AI to keep track of how well students are doing. The risk is that teachers may not adopt the technology if they don ' t know how to use it well enough.
Translation and language technology that works with AI are needed in order to solve Africa ' s language problems in language learning and localization. Artificial intelligence language tools and speech recognition systems are helping to make multilingual education better all over the world. This is also very important for raising literacy levels and encouraging all types of education in Africa.
OpenAI ' s real-time translation tools make it easier to learn how to have a conversation. The Google Universal Speech Model has 1,000 languages, including many African languages. Duolingo Max uses AI for roleplaying to help people learn languages better.
