THE ROLE OF ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE IN MODERN EDUCATION: OPPORTUNITIES AND CHALLENGES

Abstract

Artificial Intelligence (AI) is increasingly reshaping contemporary educational systems by introducing adaptive learning environments, intelligent tutoring systems, and automated administrative tools. This article examines the opportunities and challenges associated with AI integration in modern education. Using qualitative analysis of recent academic literature, the study explores pedagogical benefits, ethical considerations, and institutional implications. The findings suggest that AI enhances personalization, accessibility, and operational efficiency; however, concerns related to data privacy, algorithmic bias, and teacher displacement remain significant. The paper concludes that responsible governance and balanced implementation strategies are essential to ensure sustainable educational innovation.
