Abstract

Artificial intelligence (AI) is radically transforming our world, and education is no exception. It shows the potential to revolutionize and streamline pedagogical methods. This study aims to examine both the benefits and the associated challenges regarding implementation of AI in the academic sphere. After comprehensively examining a variety of sources from different perspectives, this study determined that AI can bridge several gaps in learning and teaching, but it also presents novel challenges such as misuse and logistical hurdles. This powerful tool must be implemented, but cautiously and with tempered expectations. Ultimately, artificial intelligence is a tool that can greatly enhance learning capabilities. It must not be conceived of as a replacement for traditional learning, but should supplement established learning principles while being implemented in a way that addresses issues such as abuse and access inequities.
