Integrating Artificial Intelligence into Digital Pedagogy: An Analysis of Challenges and Opportunities

Within the context of fast digital transformation, the integration of artificial intelligence (AI) in digital pedagogy opens new horizons for personalized learning, optimized school management, and a redefinition of the pedagogical relationship. This article investigates how AI can support digital pedagogy not only through automation and increased efficiency, but also by assisting teachers in instructional decision-making and adapting learning paths to individual student needs. Alongside the clear benefits, it also addresses significant ethical and socio-cultural challenges – such as algorithmic bias, the opacity of automated decisions, the impact on students’ digital identity, and the need for critical digital literacy among educators. Drawing from interdisciplinary theoretical frameworks and applied examples, the study advocates for a responsible and value-oriented integration of AI into educational systems. The conclusion emphasizes that AI should be seen not as a substitute for teachers, but as a pedagogical partner – one whose success depends on balancing technological innovation with humanistic principles.
