Role of AI and ChatGPT in Promoting Holistic and Multidisciplinary Education: NEP-2020 Perspectives

Abstract

The National Education Policy (NEP) 2020 envisions a transformative overhaul of the Indian education system, aiming to foster holistic, flexible and multidisciplinary education. Central to this vision is the integration of advanced technologies like Artificial Intelligence (AI) and tools such as ChatGPT, which have the potential to revolutionize educational practices. This review explores the role of AI and ChatGPT in facilitating personalized learning, promoting multidisciplinary education and supporting holistic development, all of which are central to the objectives of NEP 2020. Drawing on existing literature, this article highlights how AI can enhance educational outcomes, foster interdisciplinary learning and help create more inclusive and adaptive learning environments and also examines the challenges associated with implementing AI in the Indian context and proposes recommendations for its effective integration.
