With artificial intelligence (AI) and Edge Computing growing at a rapid pace, we find ourselves on the brink of innovation and intelligence, gazing into a future in which education is not only desired but also welcomed here and now. Edge AI has a wide range of applications in the field of education that could help students in remote villages who do not have access to any internet access educational content and tools stored on their devices. AI power systems could take the aspect of personalized learning to the next level, which would allow the teachers to better understand the interests of the students. One such implementation that will be explored in this chapter is a system culminating in the creation of concise, researched lecture summaries, providing students with an easily digestible overview of complex topics. Edge Computing and AI are said to be at the forefront of new-age technologies. Traditional methods fail to cope with the new challenges in the domain of education, such as the diverse learning styles, geographical barriers, and an overflow of knowledge. Edge computing, unlike cloud-based computing, could be the solution that offers a paradigm shift by bringing intelligence and processing power closer to the point of learning, directly to classrooms and student devices that could unleash a torrent of possibilities, making education not just efficient, but exhilarating.
