Main Article Content

Abstract

Artificial intelligence (AI) can transform education by improving teaching and learning outcomes. However, as with any new technology, there are also risks associated with its use. This paper explores AI's potential benefits and risks in education, including personalized learning, improved assessment, reduced planning time for teachers, and the risk of cheating. Drawing on various studies and perspectives, the paper argues that while AI has specific risks, its educational benefits are significant. The paper concludes by suggesting the need for more empirical research on the impact of AI in education and the importance of preparing students for a future where machines will play a leading role.
