Abstract
This half-day workshop emphasizes the role of adaptive lifelong learning in the dynamic landscape of Artificial Intelligence in Education (AIED). The pervasive influence of digitization mandates continuous learning, responding to the challenges of automation and skill gaps. While learners and trainees are pivotal in implementing AI in lifelong learning education, they face challenges such as information overload and the necessity to exhibit high degrees of flexibility to adapt to the rapid changes and continuous evolution of AI tools. By highlighting the virtues of adaptive lifelong learning, the workshop examines the impact of AI on a diverse spectrum of learners. Adaptive AI tools emerge as a source of support for bridging learning gaps, particularly in the post-pandemic landscape, offering essential support to learners through streamlined automation. Furthermore, the workshop emphasizes the critical necessity for adaptation in the evolving AIED domain, moving beyond its roots in computer science to encompass a broader educational perspective. With a specific focus on multi-criteria adaptive lifelong learning, the workshop advocates for collaboration among learners, educators, policymakers, researchers, and EdTech companies. The ultimate goal is to facilitate the development of relevant and evidence-based adaptive AI tools that significantly enhance lifelong learning.
