Artificial Intelligence (AI) has emerged as a valuable tool in seamlessly integrating three important components of talent development: academic acceleration, classroom inductive teaching techniques focusing on depth and complexity, and opportunities for interest-based activities. These three components of talent development within gifted education services can be likened to a three-legged stool. Each component is crucial to accommodate and stimulate the intellectual growth of gifted students.
