INTEGRATING ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE IN EDUCATION: OPPORTUNITIES, CHALLENGES, AND ETHICAL DIMENSIONS

Abstract

Artificial intelligence (AI) is transforming teaching by facilitating personalised instruction, diverse assessments, and prompt feedback. The study examines in detail how AI assists educators in enabling students to acquire skills in areas such as critical thinking, collaboration, and creativity (Leon, 2024; Wu, 2024). Drawing on recent works, the paper investigates how AI can drive change and addresses the pertinent issues surrounding data privacy, algorithmic bias, and equal opportunities (Focoye et al., 2024; Joshi, 2023; O’Neil, 2016). The analysis indicates that employing AI in education enhances student engagement and aids teachers; however, for it to be genuinely successful, the policy must be trustworthy, monitoring should occur regularly, and design must be inclusive for all students (Nguyen, 2025; Gentile et al., 2023). Consequently, the research illustrates that greater emphasis should be placed on utilising AI alongside individuals, rather than instead of them, by advocating for ethical, equitable, and reliable approaches in education.
