Boosting Learning Through AI in STEM for Socioeconomic Development in Emerging Economies

Abstract

This chapter explores the transformative potential of artificial intelligence (AI) in STEM education, focusing on its role as a driver of socioeconomic development in emerging economies. By integrating AI with STEM disciplines, educational processes can be optimized, personalized, and made more inclusive, thereby reducing educational gaps and preparing future generations to face global challenges. From a psychological perspective, the chapter examines how AI enhances learning and memory, contributing to deeper cognitive engagement. It also addresses the challenges of AI implementation, including technological, economic, and ethical barriers, highlighting the importance of public policies that promote equitable and sustainable growth, the challenges and opportunities in R&D projects, and how the development of emerging economies requires further exploration of AI's potential to innovate in STEM fields and its broader implications for socioeconomic development.
