ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE AND EDUCATION: SOCIOLOGICAL INSIGHTS AND IMPLICATIONS

This paper examines the integration of Artificial Intelligence (AI) in the field of education from a sociological viewpoint. It looks at how AI is changing the roles of teachers and students, changing traditional educational systems, and impacting learning across a range of social groups. It draws attention to the dangers of promoting cultural exclusion, the digital divide, and surveillance-based teaching methods. The paper also examines institutional changes, pedagogical challenges, sociocultural ramifications, and ethical issues brought up by AI in education through a sociological lens. Also emphasizes how teachers' roles are changing, how institutions are evolving, and how ethical and cultural issues like data privacy, surveillance, and the decline in interpersonal interaction are becoming more prevalent.
