Abstract

The main aim of current paper is to analyze how AI play its crucial role in developing the personalized learning and learner-centered. It focused on the advantages and the concerned issues. Moreover, quantitative research design was adopted by incorporating adopted questionnaire of likert type. The data was gathered from 300 students of higher education institutions of Sindh, Pakistan. The analysis of data was done by utilizing SPSS 28.0. The results uncovered that students at HEIs really endorse the advantages of AI in personalized learning and student-centered learning. A major portion of respondents showed agreement to the point that AI play pivotal role in personalized learning and showcased that it is very helpful in assessing learning, giving feedback, and is also considering needs and diverse educational backgrounds of learning. However, various challenge found to be hindering the process which need to be tackled before initiating AI in personalized learning. Based on the findings study recommended that higher authorities should keep in view the challenges and problems before developing policies related to it.
