Examining the Impact of AI on Education: Ethical, Psychological, and Pedagogical Perspectives

Abstract

Education is a fundamental aspect of human development, crucial for both individuals and societies. This chapter provides a comprehensive exploration of education, its significance, and its multifaceted nature. Education encompasses the acquisition of knowledge, skills, values, and attitudes through formal and informal means. It empowers individuals to understand their environment, make informed decisions, and contribute to society's betterment. However, the integration of artificial intelligence (AI) in education raises ethical, psychological, and pedagogical concerns. AI's capability to generate coherent responses may compromise academic integrity and undermine critical thinking. Furthermore, excessive dependence on AI may diminish students' motivation and self-efficacy, leading to passive learning and eroding trust in the educational system. Pedagogically, AI cannot replace the nuanced guidance and personalized feedback offered by teachers, potentially disrupting the traditional teacher-student dynamic.
