ADMINISTRATION OF ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE FOR FOSTERING EFFECTIVE CHRISTIAN EDUCATION PROCESS

Abstract The integration of artificial intelligence (AI) in Christian higher education is examined, with a focus on its potential to enhance learning experiences through personalized education, improved teaching methods, and innovative technologies like AI chatbots and virtual reality. The paper recognizes that AI tools such as ChatGPT can offer 24/7 support, automate grading, and facilitate adaptive learning. It also addresses concerns about the possible reduction of human interaction and educational quality. The study emphasizes AI’s role as a complement to-not a replacement for-human educators, highlighting successful applications such as Duolingo and Coursera, and detailing how AI can support academic research and content creation. Furthermore, the discussion underscores the importance of aligning AI applications with the core objectives of Christian education, which seeks to develop students' spiritual, intellectual, and moral capacities within a technology-driven environment. The paper concludes by advocating for a balanced, ethical approach to AI integration that enhances religious education while upholding the fundamental principles of Christian faith.
