AI in education: Challenges, opportunities, and possibilities

Abstract

Artificial Intelligence (AI) has become an integral part of everyday life, with its rapid development far outpacing policy discussions and the establishment of regulatory frameworks. As AI technologies advance, education practitioners increasingly encounter the presence and integration of AI technologies in their professional practice, raising profound questions about teaching, learning, the evolving role of educators, and the broader social and ethical implications of its application. To navigate this shift effectively, it is crucial for education practitioners to understand the pedagogical affordances of AI—not only to complement and enhance their teaching strategies but also, to critically engage with its impact on educational equity and inclusion.
