Introduction 
 
Everyone has been affected by the industrial period to be able to adapt to quick 
changes. Globalization and the Fourth Industrial Revolution have brought us new creative 
opportunities and technological problems. As a result, technology is crucial in transmitting 
information through text, pictures, and sound (Rahayu & Pujiyono, 2017). Technology was

developed to make human jobs and hobbies easier. Artificial intelligence is a technology 
that is actively being developed. One aspect of computational creativity that has drawn 
more attention to the development of artificial intelligence (AI) technology is artificial 
intelligence (AI) (Cheng & Day, 2014). Numerous artificial intelligence technologies have 
been deployed to boost creativity in computers. According to Rahman (2009, p. 343), 
artificial intelligence (AI) produces computer programs that filter knowledge and do 
independent tasks like computing or student search. Artificial intelligence (AI) creates 
"intelligent" objects like computer systems (online platforms) and robots that operate and 
respond similarly to human brains (Karsenti, 2019). Machine intelligence is another name 
for artificial intelligence (AI) (Mehrotra, 2019). Through the inherent intelligence 
exhibited by people, the algorithm can forecast human intelligence. In other words, AI aims 
to improve computer job execution by incorporating human intellect. According to 
Mehrotra (2019), artificial intelligence (AI) is a field of computer science that focuses on 
analyzing and creating intelligent devices and software. It is the science of programming a 
machine to think and act like intelligent humans. The intelligence component is the 
cornerstone of AI technology (Wang, 2019). According to Whitby (2009), AI seeks to 
understand intelligent behavior in people, animals, and technology. Artificial intelligence 
is made from the phrases "artificial" and "intelligence" (Ahmet, 2018). The term "artificial" 
refers to something imitated but not wholly untrue in the sense of being a fake. At the same 
time, "intelligence" might replace actual goods because the former has superior 
characteristics.
The phrase "intelligence" is quite complicated. It encompasses a variety of 
manifestations, including consciousness, emotional awareness, self-knowledge, 
preparedness, and creativity. According to Joshi (2019, p. 4), AI may not mean creating a 
knowledgeable computer that can solve every issue but instead creating a device that can 
function like a person. Artificial intelligence aims to create computer programs or hardware 
systems that exhibit characteristics of human intellect or think like humans (Campesato, 
2020). Theoretically, an AI-powered computer system is capable of activities that 
ordinarily require human intelligence. Artificial intelligence may comprehend some 
elements of the human intellect, including speech comprehension, linguistic awareness, 
decision-making, and visual perception. There is a need for AI to develop expert systems 
and discover answers to challenging issues like recognition and natural language 
processing (Devi et al., 2020). Using AI as a language instructor AI delivers persistent, 
customized instruction, giving learners the copious amounts of feedback and scaffolding 
exercises required to attain fluency, all in a low-stakes setting (learners are more likely to 
take chances and make mistakes). The primary promise of artificial intelligence is that it 
will accelerate the skill development process. According to Kaur & Gill (2019), artificial 
intelligence (AI) is a digital effort to replicate human intellect by utilizing various machine 
calculations. It is a cutting-edge technology collection that lets people think, feel, act, and

learn like machines. Artificial intelligence (AI) is a subfield of computer science that 
stresses machines' capacity for human-like thought and behavior. Machines assist in 
solving complicated issues in a way that is more like human thought (Sridhar, 2018). This 
necessitates taking aspects of human intellect and adapting them to work well with 
computers. Artificial intelligence (AI) can perform human behaviors like language 
acquisition, planning, decision-making, and other cognitive tasks (AI). 
With the rise of technology and digital platforms, English teaching and learning 
have grown simpler. Now, there is a chance to develop your English-language abilities. As 
a result, if a machine could teach English, perhaps we wouldn't need English teachers in 
the classroom or English education (Shin, 2018). The Fourth Revolution does not thus need 
to replace English education. An artificial intelligence-based English class model should 
instead be developed in conjunction with the teaching and learning of English. An effective 
combination to increase global competency is language literacy and digital literacy. 
According to Ribeiro (2020), the most important practical use of artificial intelligence for 
English language instructors is in ELT. English is one of the world's most common 
languages with a structured grammatical system. As a result, studying English has always 
been challenging for pupils learning it as a second or foreign language (ESL/EFL) 
(Mehrotra, 2019). Therefore, using artificial intelligence, machine learning, intelligent 
search, and natural language processing may successfully advance reforms in English 
teaching and learning (Wang, 2019). The purpose of this research, connected to the 
description above, is to understand the function of artificial intelligence (AI) and to look at 
AI technologies in English language teaching (ELT).
