This presentation provides an in-depth look at how AI is reshaping welding education within Career and Technical Education (CTE). It explores research on AI-based feedback, adaptive learning systems, digital twins, and performance metrics, while comparing these tools to traditional training methods. The session highlights the Technology Acceptance Model (TAM), key research gaps, and practical applications for integrating AI into welding programs.
