The Risks and Potential of AI in Education
Abstract:
Artificial intelligence (AI) is revolutionizing the delivery and perception of education in the modern era. This study delves into the potential and risks associated with integrating AI into education, focusing on its advantages in customizing learning, enhancing educational quality, and broadening global access. AI's adaptive systems allow for personalized learning plans tailored to individual student needs, leading to improved academic outcomes. Furthermore, AI streamlines administrative processes and increases educational opportunities for underserved and resource-constrained communities. Despite these benefits, integrating AI into education poses significant challenges, such as privacy issues, access disparities, and reliance on technology. Concerns about student data privacy breaches and the lack of AI literacy among educators raise ethical questions about AI governance. Additionally, variations in technological capabilities among countries and institutions exacerbate existing educational inequalities. The use of this methodology is justified by the complexity of the topic and the diversity of the literature covering it. The main goal is to create a clear understanding of the impact of AI in education, based on reliable scientific sources. This study highlights the importance of adopting balanced approaches and responsible policies to ensure the ethical and effective integration of AI in education. Prioritizing staff training, infrastructure development, and privacy safeguards is essential for mitigating risks associated with AI. Ultimately, AI offers unprecedented possibilities for reshaping global education, provided that challenges are addressed thoughtfully with ethical and regulatory considerations.
