Abstract

The article describes the revolutionary change of artificial intelligence (AI) in lifelong learning (LLL) amidst a transnational higher education in rural Bangladesh context. The traditional education system is being replaced by evolving technologies, in this era of traditional systems. Lifelong learning is not a static destination but rather a dynamic journey, as the learning expertise can shape various demands in different geographical and cultural settings. The multiple uses of technologies in lifelong learning modify the routine of memorization and delve into some key features and approaches, including adaptive learning technologies, and AI-driven learning methods. This article discusses the scope of LLL, different approaches, and the assessment of the readiness of educators and institutions, and how AI can contribute to lifelong learning in the rural Bangladesh context. Through this exploration, the article highlights the potential and emerging challenges in the use of AI. By reshaping the existing higher education system, AI will bridge the educational divide and promote personalized assistance in the rural Bangladeshi context.
