The Clayton Christensen Institute has published a research “Teaching in the Machine Age: How Innovation Can Make Bad Teachers Good and Good Teachers Better”, where the author assures us that Machine Learning improves the quality of work in any sphere. The recent developments in Artificial Intelligence gave developers an opportunity to teach a computer to perform complicated tasks by their own. The algorithm progresses by self-teaching. That’s how computers imitate people, to some extent, however, we have to admit that the capabilities of Artificial Intelligence in education are still limited. The system can’t substitute professionals, but it can perfect teachers’ skills and education process. Development of Artificial Intelligence for education sphere brings one more advantage for school and teachers. Now, they don’t need to create the educational program from scratch and to search for the needed materials. The system processes training materials thusly, improving the effectiveness of a teacher. Virtual volunteering means mentors working with students from a distance, primarily communicating via telephone, Internet, e-mail, Facebook, etc. Virtual mentoring shares the goal of face-to-face mentoring: establishing a trusting, nurturing, positive relationship between the mentor and student. Through this paper, a study was made on the role of artificial intelligence in virtual mentoring and students’ perception and inclination towards virtual classes. Both primary and secondary data was collected for the analysis. A questionnaire was distributed to 75 students and the secondary data was collected from various relevant sources. The paper has made an attempt to know the role of artificial intelligence in virtual learning, find out the inclination of students towards virtual classes and also has analyzed the demand for virtual classes in the future.
