POTENTIAL BENEFITS AND CHALLENGES OF USING AI IN EDUCATION

Sustainable education plays a vital role in fostering a sustainable future, although it confronts several significant obstacles, such as inadequate infrastructure, scarce resources, and a lack of awareness and engagement. The integration of artificial intelligence (AI) can tackle these challenges and improve sustainable education by enhancing access to quality learning, crafting personalized educational experiences, and facilitating data-driven decision-making. One advantage of employing AI and information technology (IT) systems in sustainable education is the ability to offer students tailored learning experiences that align with their individual learning styles and preferences. Furthermore, AI systems can equip teachers with data-driven insights regarding student performance, emotions, and levels of engagement, allowing them to adjust their teaching methods and strategies or provide necessary support and interventions. Nevertheless, the implementation of AI and IT systems in sustainable education brings certain challenges, such as concerns about privacy and data security, in addition to potential biases present in algorithms and machine learning models. Additionally, the establishment of these systems demands substantial investments in technology and infrastructure, which can pose difficulties for educators. The shift from conventional classroom teaching to online, virtual, and blended approaches is unavoidable. Numerous studies focus on how Technology Enabled Learning (TEL) can enhance overall learning efficiency and engagement. As more courses are offered online and are made accessible from a distance, the complexity of managing the data generated by these systems increases. The use of big data analysis alongside AI has become common in exploring information technology within educational frameworks. Various authors have discussed different areas and uses where AI can provide valuable insights and support for further research. When examining how AI can assist Intelligent Tutoring Systems (ITSs) in fostering sustainable education, it is sensible to assess various implementations using a standardized framework that helps researchers obtain a solid understanding and support for sustainable educational practices. In this research article, I plan to explore various viewpoints from educators and IT solution architects to bridge the gap between education and AI technology. The areas of discussion will encompass concepts and challenges of sustainable education, technology utilization and outcomes, as well as future research directions. By addressing these issues and advancing further research, we can tap into the full potential of these technologies and foster a more equitable and sustainable education system.
