Transforming Education through Artificial Intelligence: Ethical, Legal, and Pedagogical Considerations in the Digital Age
Keywords:
AI in education, Machine learning, Deep Learning, Digital AgeAbstract
Artificial Intelligence (AI) is transforming different industries as it pushes and delivers innovation, efficiency, and better decision-making. Its ability to also revolutionize education, particularly in meeting various needs of students, and updating the way of teaching is gradually becoming clear. The qualitative descriptive method was adopted, and the library study techniques were incorporated where primary and secondary sources of data were used such as observation and interviews as well as analysis. The paper highlights the revolutionary potential of AI in education, which improves personalized learning, student interaction, and administrative efficiency using such tools as chatbots and predictive analysis. The potential of AI has been demonstrated in successful applications in different settings, yet the difficulties related to the accuracy of data and the necessity of training educators remain. Furthermore, the research paper emphasizes the need to integrate AI with the enhancement of important human attributes to avoid making technology a substitute of the most critical learning outcomes. The work is an extensive overview of the transformative influence of AI in education considering such issues as the reliability of data and training of educators and discussing its ability to increase accessibility, balance technology and important human skills, and showcase successful practical implementation.
