Abstract

Artificial Intelligence (AI) is an increasingly progressive field that aims to develop computer systems capable of producing inventive and creative content, including text, images, music, video, and audio, that closely resemble human-generated material. AI has significantly impacted education, with both positive and negative implications. While it has gained widespread popularity, it has also raised concerns about bias, misinformation, misuse, and risk, emphasising the need for the responsible implementation and development of generative AI in education. There have been discussions about whether it should be prohibited or whether teachers and students should receive adequate training to use it effectively and ethically. The purpose of AI in education should be to embrace the opportunities it presents while maintaining high academic standards. Renowned universities have developed guidelines and manuals for the responsible use of generative AI tools. This study examines the impact of generative AI on education, analysing its advantages and disadvantages in schools, its outcomes, and how teachers and students can use it for educational purposes. The study also emphasizes the effective use of AI in education, employing qualitative and quantitative methods to evaluate its usage. The results highlight the benefits and drawbacks of generative AI in education, concluding with recommendations and future applications of generative AI in education.
