ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE IN EDUCATION: HELP OR HARM?
Keywords:
artificial intelligence, education technology, personalized learning, academic integrity, critical thinking, ChatGPT, surveyAbstract
: This article examines the dual role of artificial intelligence (AI) in modern education through both a literature review and primary survey data collected from 15 students aged 15–25. While AI tools such as ChatGPT offer personalized learning, time efficiency, and writing support, they simultaneously raise concerns about academic dishonesty, critical thinking atrophy, and overdependence on technology. Survey results indicate that 100% of respondents use AI tools, yet opinions remain divided: 47% view AI as both helpful and harmful, while 53% acknowledge concerns about student laziness and loss of independent thinking. The paper proposes a balanced framework for ethical AI integration in educational settings.
