Abstract

Purpose: With the rapid development of science and technology, particularly in artificial intelligence, the application of this technology across various fields, including education, has grown significantly. AI has the potential to enhance and optimize learning and teaching processes, making classroom management more efficient. Furthermore, patents related to the development of AI in education are essential, as they safeguard the intellectual property rights of inventors. A review of research indicates that artificial intelligence (AI) has significantly enhanced the quality of education and learning, with numerous studies conducted in this field. However, no research has yet utilized patents to investigate the role of AI in education. The research questions examine the growth trends and citation patterns of patents in the field of artificial intelligence (AI) in education, while also assessing the scientific and technical strength of these patents. This study investigates the role of AI in education, emphasizing a comprehensive analysis of patents. The primary objective of this study is to analyze the growth trends, citation patterns, scientific and technical connections, and the overall scientific and technical strength of patents in the field of artificial intelligence in education.
Method: This research is a scientometric study that uses a document analysis method. To collect data, all patents registered on the Topic of AI application in education without a time limit were collected from the Lens database. A total of 1267 registered patents were examined.
Findings: The results show that the number of patents related to AI in education, especially in recent years, has been steadily increasing. The number of citations to these patents has also increased, indicating their greater impact on related research. A significant portion of these patents have also referenced scientific sources, indicating a strong connection between academic research and technological advancements in this field. Indicators of science and technology links and technical strength also show a high level of innovation and novelty in this field.
Conclusion: The number of AI patents in education is continually increasing, and these patents are being cited more frequently, indicating their significant impact on further research and development. Patents illustrate the strong relationship between scientific research and technological advancements, highlighting a significant level of innovation and technical novelty in this field. AI plays a significant role in transforming the educational landscape, particularly in areas such as personalized learning, adaptive assessment, and intelligent instructional systems. The integration of AI in education can revolutionize teaching and learning processes, enhance student engagement, and provide tailored educational experiences. However, to ensure optimal use and mitigate potential risks, it is essential to consider ethical factors such as data privacy and the avoidance of bias. Consequently, artificial intelligence (AI) holds tremendous potential to transform education in a more effective and personalized manner. It should be employed responsibly and ethically to empower students and promote lifelong learning.
