Abstract
The
integration of Artificial Intelligence (AI) into the education system presents
numerous challenges that need careful consideration and strategic planning. One
of the primary hurdles is the lack of infrastructure, particularly in
underfunded schools, where the implementation of AI tools requires significant
investment in hardware, software, and training. Another challenge is ensuring
equity in access to AI-powered education, as disparities in digital literacy,
internet connectivity, and device availability can widen existing educational
inequalities. Furthermore, AI’s ability to personalize learning raises concerns
about data privacy and the ethical use of student information, as well as the
potential for biased algorithms to exacerbate discrimination. Teachers also
face the challenge of adapting to new AI tools, which requires both time and
professional development to effectively incorporate into their teaching
practices. There are concerns about the impact of AI on the traditional role of
teachers and the fear that automation may reduce the human element in
education, which is crucial for student development. Overcoming these
challenges requires thoughtful policymaking, investment in teacher training,
and a commitment to inclusivity to ensure that AI can enhance, rather than
replace, the human-centered approach to education.
