Exploring the Benefits and Challenges of Artificial Intelligence in Education

Abstract

In recent decades, countries are using artificial intelligence (AI) at a high level and in almost all sectors including education. However, the integration of AI into educational systems raises ethical, and practical concerns. This paper answers the following research question: How can AI be ethically integrated into education in a manner that promotes human dignity, protect students’ well-being, and addresses the potential risks and challenges associated with its use? The method of desk review was applied to the research to collect the secondary data and to analyze it. The theological principles including the value of human dignity, stewardship, and community context critique the over-reliance on AI that could undermine the relational and holistic aspects of learning. The paper advocates for a balanced, ethically grounded framework for the use of AI in education that safeguards human relationships and supports the holistic development of learners. As recommendation, AI should serve as a tool for greater educational transformation in alignment with God’s purpose for human equity.
