The Era of Artificial Intelligence (AI) and the Threat to Knowledge Acquisition

Abstract

This study explores the growing field of artificial intelligence in education, with a focus on higher education and unconventional learning settings. This study investigates how Artificial Intelligence can change how students learn and how educational institutions are adapting to these developments. The current status of AI is carefully examined along with its expected influence on educational approaches, teaching methods, and educational structures. With reference to academic studies and recent advancements in AI, this paper emphasizes both the potential and threats that AI presents to higher education. While AI offers great potential for improving teaching practices and enhancing learning results, its widespread use raises important ethical issues and introduces new challenges. As digital technologies continue to infiltrate various aspects of society, including education, this study assesses the future direction of educational processes driven by AI and predicts its impact on the educational environment.
