AI, or artificial intelligence, plays a significant role in Industry 4.0 by enabling the development of intelligent machines that can work alongside humans and optimize industrial\u0000 processes. They are many ways in which AI is impacting the global economy in the context of Industry 4.0: Improved Efficiency: AI-powered machines are capable of analyzing large amounts of data and identifying patterns that are beyond human capabilities. This enables them to optimize production\u0000 processes, reduce waste, and improve quality control. AI can enable businesses to develop new revenue streams and business models by providing insights into customer preferences and behaviors and enabling the creation of new products and services. AI is expected to drive economic growth by\u0000 improving productivity and efficiency, creating new industries and jobs, and enabling businesses to expand into new markets. The role of AI in Industry 4.0 is significant, and it is transforming the global economy in many ways. As AI continues to evolve, it will play an increasingly significant\u0000 role in shaping the future of manufacturing and other industries. This review paper through adequate light on the major influences of AI on the world economy and its possible implication in India. This paper will be based on the extensive literature review of previous papers and finally drawn\u0000 conclusion.","PeriodicalId":139843,"journal":{"name":"Information Technology, Education and Society","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-04-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"131243991","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The last two years are considered to be among the most destructive in the past fifty years. The entire world experienced difficulties as a result of the COVID-19 epidemic. The proliferation of viruses has had a\u0000 tremendous impact on people’s personal and professional lives. None of the business operations were unaffected. The definitions of companies have shifted. Business strategies have shifted paradigmatically. Every business sector must rethink their approach, including the education sector.\u0000 The education sector is one of the world’s largest and fastest-growing industries. Prior to COVID, the domain of online education was expanding at a moderate rate, whereas the online education system has expanded dramatically. Students and teachers had to deal with technology in ways\u0000 they had never dealt with before. Users and developers were both spending significantly more time with technology. This intensive exposure to technology has affected the lives of both students and educators in some way. Through this study, we seek to comprehend the viewpoints of students regarding\u0000 their exposure to disruptive technology. Since education in all subjects may be easily offered through technological models, students from several domains are identified for analysis. In this study, how students perceive disruptive technology is discussed. For this objective, a data collection\u0000 instrument in the form of an e-questionnaire is constructed and distributed to the selected respondents. The data was collected for 129 students at the top-ranked NIRF institutions. As needed, the data is evaluated using descriptive and inferential statistical approaches.","PeriodicalId":139843,"journal":{"name":"Information Technology, Education and Society","volume":"14 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-04-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"127516297","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

New findings about intelligence that change or expand over a lifetime indicate the need for new assessment methods. This\u0000 study aimed to construct and validate a specialized intelligences questionnaire (SIQ).This was a descriptive and exploratory study. A sample of 304 participants (median age=23) was recruited through non-random and available sampling from Tehran, Iran. Extensive expert opinions were used\u0000 to obtain the content validity of SIQ.The result of assessing content validity was confirmed (I-CVI = 0.857~1.000, S-CVI/UA = 0.819, and S-CVI/Ave = 0.970) and the concurrent validity with Gardner multiple intelligences questionnaire was 0.881. Two methods of Cronbach’s α coefficient\u0000 and halving the test were used to calculate the reliability of the test. The results showed 0.929 for Cronbach’s α, which indicated adequate reliability for the questionnaire. Then the test was halved and Pearson’s correlation coefficient was 0.765 (p=0.000) which suggests\u0000 good correlation for the questionnaire.Our findings indicate that SIQ possesses appropriate validity and reliability to measure the multiple intelligences. This is a valuable tool that can give insights to the future educational planning and decision making for education.","PeriodicalId":139843,"journal":{"name":"Information Technology, Education and Society","volume":"21 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-09-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"129660516","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
