The Impact of Artificial Intelligence on Education: The Applications, Advantages, Challenges and Researchers’ Perspective

Artificial Intelligence (AI) has transformed education through various applications, including Generative Artificial Intelligence (AIGC), Chatbots, Intelligent Tutoring Systems (ITS), and Large Language Models (LLMs). Key applications included personalized learning support through chatbots and ITS, generative AI for writing assistance and assessment, AI-driven predictive models, and innovative approaches like project-based and game-based learning. Advantages highlighted were efficiency enhancement, inspiration and creative support, personalized learning experiences, and automation of repetitive tasks. However, challenges persisted, including academic integrity concerns, potential suppression of creativity and critical thinking, inaccurate or biased information, overemphasizing outcomes over processes, and accessibility and fairness issues. Additionally, researchers’ perspectives on AIGC emphasized its transformative potential while underscoring ethical considerations. The paper concluded with reflections on educators' responsibilities in embracing AI, fostering AI literacy, and promoting equitable and ethical integration of AI tools in education.
