Introduction to AI Tutors

An “AI Tutor,” also known as an “Intelligent Tutoring System” (ITS) or “AI-powered tutoring system” (AI-PTS), is an advanced educational tool that uses artificial intelligence algorithms to replicate the functions of a human tutor. These systems are designed to simulate a one-on-one tutoring experience by performing human-like tasks such as reasoning, meaning-making, generalization, and learning from past experiences (Maity & Deroy, 2024; Malami, 2024; AI-Pro, 2024).
