Artificial Intelligence in Education: SWOT Analysis

The field of education is in disarray due to the emergence of artificial intelligence (AI). There is a lot of disagreement in the education community over its value. The strengths, weaknesses, opportunities, and threats (SWOT) analysis of AI in education (AIED) was taken up as the study's objective in such a scattered condition. The research was directed by a single research question. The SWOT theoretical framework serves as the foundation for this study. The corpus of published literature was gathered from the Google Scholar database. Data shows that the use of AI in teaching and learning, as well as higher education, and early childhood education are areas where prior research has excelled (strengths). The structural/functional features of AI and its ethical applications are its main shortcomings (weaknesses) in AIED. There will likely be opportunities in teaching and learning, higher education, and other AI applications. The researcher’ attention is drawn to the ethical use of AI and its administrative ramifications (threats). A broad SWOT analysis of AIED was developed as a study output to help educational stakeholders and providers of AI services make well-informed decisions towards strategic management of education in harnessing the potentials of AIED. Lastly, suggestions have been extended for future approaches to the research challenge.
