Zoom Video (NASDAQ:ZM) is a video-conferencing software for business meetings and remote collaboration. It allows users to share screens and collaborate on projects in real time. Zoom offers AI-powered features such as virtual backgrounds, avatars, gesture recognition, and background noise suppression.

During the pandemic, Zoom did very well. Schools, colleges, and universities increasingly used the software and its associated applications to conduct classes. Like the rest of the world, these institutions became dependent on the platform.

However, with the pandemic under relative control, Zoom is experiencing a slowdown in growth. However, the tough times could be over. Just recently, Zoom reported better-than-expected fiscal fourth-quarter results and offered rosy guidance, which pushed shares up more than 5%. Although the macroeconomic situation is tough, it ended the year with 213,000 enterprises, up 12% from a year ago. If you want to invest in education AI stocks, and have a long-term investment horizon, this is a great one to have in your portfolio.

Coursera (NYSE:COUR) is an online education platform offering various topics. Founded in 2012, it offers courses designed by universities and other educational institutions.

Coursera already uses AI and has helped improve its offerings’ quality. Using machine learning and artificial intelligence to match prospective learners with the perfect course is an example of the technology essential for lifelong learning. However, generative AI can become a big money spinner for the EdTech company in the future. Generative AI is still in development, so Coursera could not create content on it as a licensed provider of industry partners. However, demand will likely be high in the future, and this is something they are focused on planning for.
