The Impact of Artificial Intelligence on Modern Education and Digital Learning
Keywords:
Artificial intelligence, digital learning, adaptive education, intelligent tutoring systems, educational technologyAbstract
Artificial Intelligence (AI) has emerged as one of the most significant technological influences shaping contemporary education and digital learning. Its integration into teaching, assessment, personalized learning, and institutional management has revolutionized the manner in which knowledge is imparted and absorbed in the 21st century. This research paper investigates the effects of AI on modern education by utilizing secondary data, which encompasses existing theories, empirical studies, policy documents, technological analyses, and global reports. The study delves into the advantages of AI—such as adaptive learning, intelligent tutoring, automation, predictive analytics, and enhanced accessibility—while also critically examining the challenges associated with data privacy, ethical concerns, digital inequality, teacher preparedness, and algorithmic bias. An extensive Review of Literature (ROL) consolidates key international research contributions and presents an overview of the changing educational landscape. The paper concludes by addressing the implications for future learning environments and provides recommendations for the responsible and equitable integration of AI.
