“…It is a voluntary choice of learning throughout life for personal and professional development. Traditional computer systems are being replaced by AI and integrated into adult education and adult education research (Milana et al, 2024;Kang, 2023). As the OECD noted in 2021, "Realizing AI's full potential and ensuring that using AI for training has beneficial outcomes for all requires more research and policies that address the need for digital skills, the costs of adoption, and the development" (p.9).…”

“…Large Language Models (LLMs). Large language models (LLMs) are AI-trained to generate text similar to human-generated text (Floridi, 2023;Milana et al, 2024;Tate et al, 2023). The introduction of ChatGPT in November 2022 was a game changer not just in the educational context but in all aspects of living due to its accessibility via a conversational interface, which allows users to communicate with the AI in a human-like way (Kasneci et al, 2023).…”

This conceptual article provides a comprehensive overview of the current status of Artificial Intelligence (AI) integration and its influence on adult education. It discusses generative AI technologies and their potential applications in adult education settings, examines the opportunities and ethical challenges associated with integrating AI, and provides insights into emerging trends. The article consists of five sections. The introduction provides a rationale as to why AI should be integrated into adult education. Second, it describes evolving AI technologies such as Large Language Models (LLM) for personalized learning, Machine Learning Algorithms for adaptive learning systems, Virtual Reality (VR) and Augmented Reality (AR) for immersive learning experiences, Chatbots and virtual assistants for learner support and guidance, and Data Learning Analytics (DLA) for tracking learner progress and performance into adult education. Section three explores the ethical implications of AI in adult education, including academic honesty and integrity, data privacy, and algorithmic bias. In section four, emerging trends and future directions are discussed. The final section considers policy implications and makes recommendations for adult educators working to develop AI-enriched adult education.
