The rapid rise of Artificial Intelligence (AI) has profoundly influenced not only society but also various areas, including education. In addition to students utilising Generative AI for learning assistance, teachers can adopt AI as an aid in preparing for examinations or lessons, significantly enhancing the efficiency of learning and teaching.
However, all of these functions are merely a fragment of AI's potentials. AI-assisted tutoring is an undeniable trend. Apart from its application in traditional teaching practices, AI is bounded to shine in the realm of gifted education. Teachers may now adopt AI to identify the brighter students, and craft personalised learning plans to maximise their talents. The powerful flexibility and learning ability of AI lead to an intriguing question: How does AI ignite sparks in gifted education?
