Beyond the black box: How fuzzy logic and multi-modal AI are revolutionizing personalized education
Abstract
In classrooms around the world, educators are drowning in data—but starving for insight. Quiz scores, video engagement, homework submissions, and login timestamps: all are logged, analyzed, and visualized. Yet these numbers rarely answer the deeper questions. Why is a student struggling? What kind of support do they need? Most educational AI systems treat data points as isolated facts, ignoring the tangled web of factors that shape learning.
