Abstract

Objective: The purpose of this paper is to conduct a thorough review and investigation on the function and importance of AI in education. The development of technology in the sector, and the emergence of raising interest to apply this AI technologies with a view to enable disruptive efficiencies across all aspects of education.


Methodology: The study uses a systematic review of literature for exploring the existing literatures and research findings about AI implementation in Education. For learning it tells you good & bad about AI of bunchy resources, And changes because of the whether educational practices.


Results: The results suggest that AI can greatly improve the personalization of learning, being able to provide tailored activities beyond traditional strategies. But the review also highlights worries over inequalities that may arise if only a specialist few can call upon top-notch AI tools possibly deepening of the achievement gap. Furthermore, a sanguine reliance on automated solutions could compromise the core human element in education and stymie social-emotional development for our students.


Originality/value: Given the tendency for increased transparency, accountability and potential bias of AI systems in this critical domain leading to possible discrimination practices (e.g. admissions, grading etc) it is felt that the paper has great value contribution. There needs to be a spirit among policymakers, educators and developers working together to ensure that AI in education is implemented following certain principles.
