Addressing the Elephant in The Room: The Impact of Using Artificial Intelligence in Education

Abstract Artificial intelligence is eminent and useful in a world where everything has been digitalized. AI has surfaced numerous times in business, healthcare, services, and even the building sector. More importantly, it has promised increased productivity, enhanced security, and improved project management skills in education and academics, particularly for students with tons of unfinished work. This systematic literature review addressed the impact of using artificial intelligence in education. The review gathered four thematic points and features of AI in education: Personalizing Learning Experiences with Tailored Instructions to Individual Needs, Creating Ethical Dilemmas in AI-driven Education, Comprising Content Accuracy and Academic Authenticity, and Enabling Academic Dishonesty through AI tools. To be able to address the issues in AI, students must always act with an open mind. Hence, in the case of academic dishonesty, there must be open communication with students and teachers about how AI is used in the learning process. Encouraging discussions about the benefits and limitations of AI in education is paramount.
