The current study has employed a documentary-analysis technique in order to accomplish its objectives.The process of methodically going over and assessing written and electronic materials is known as documentary analysis Bowen (2009).Ray & Ghanta (2022), Ray & Sikdar (2023).Documentary analysis is qualitative research.Qualitative research is preferred when it is desired to examine a problem or subject in depth Creswell (2013), Gocen & Aydemir (2020).Regarding the artificial intelligence (AI) in education, the researcher has read a number of articles, papers, and books.

APPLICATIONS OF AI IN EDUCATION:
This section covers several types of AI applications, such as virtual assistants, automated grading, personalized learning platforms, and intelligent tutoring systems.Every application is assessed based on how well it supports the process of learning and enhances educational outcomes.
• Intelligent Tutoring Systems: AI-driven tutoring programme give pupils individualized instruction by customizing the course content according to each student's performance and development.An intelligent tutoring system is a computer programme designed to provide pupils individualized instruction by simulating a human teacher Mohamed & Lamia (2018), Jiménez et al. (2018), Chaudhry & Kazim (2022).It improves student  2019), Zhang & Lu (2021).
• AI-Powered Career Guidance: AI programme provide students individualized career guidance based on their interests, talents, and market trends.AI has been revolutionizing the economic and societal sectors, including the field of education Shang et al. (2006), Lin et al. (2021).It provides information on making decisions, planning careers, and matching school paths to potential employment paths.• Learning Analytics for Institutional Improvement: AI-driven learning analytics assists organizations in obtaining data on student engagement, overall educational efficacy, and areas in need of development.This is highly instructive for data-driven strategic planning, ongoing improvement, and decision-making.AI is being used in education in many different ways, and its applications are always changing.Each tool in the toolkit targets a certain component of learning to improve student outcomes as a whole.

BENEFITS OF AI IN EDUCATION
This section explores the advantages, emphasizing the positive effects.These include tailored learning experiences, streamlined administrative work, data-driven insights, and improved accessibility for a range of learners.
• Personalized Learning: AI makes personalized learning experiences possible by adjusting speed and material to meet the demands and learning styles of each individual student.They provide students access to different learning materials based on their individual learning needs and subjects Akgun & Greenhow (2022).These increases understanding and engagement since students are given challenges and assistance that are specifically designed for them.2021).Students made well-informed decisions about their educational and career paths as a result of it.There are many advantages to integrating AI into education that can enhance the educational process and make it more flexible, inclusive, and efficient.

CHALLENGES AND CONCERNS
On the other hand, this section discusses the drawbacks of using AI in education, such as issues with data privacy, potential biases, ethical issues, and the digital divide.In order to promote a balanced viewpoint, it critically evaluates the dangers and restrictions.
• Data Privacy and Security: Large-scale student data collection and analysis are common in the use of AI, which raises questions around student privacy and the safe management of sensitive data.The use of AI without human mediation raises concerns about vulnerabilities in cyber security Naik et al. (2022).Inadequate security measures might cause breaches that allow for illegal access to or improper use of personal information.

• Concerns about Job Displacement:
There are worries that human functions might be replaced by AI when it comes to the automation of some educational duties.There are several potential risks of the use of AI systems in human resource management Kieslich et al. (2021).Faculty, student counselors, teaching assistants and administrative personnel may be concerned that the Intelligent tutor system, which uses AI, may replace them Devi (2022).The implementation of AI in education may encounter pushback from instructors who are afraid of losing their jobs.In order to guarantee that AI in education is applied ethically, inclusively, and with an emphasis on positive learning outcomes for all children, legislators, educators, and technology developers must work together to navigate these issues.

ETHICAL CONSIDERATIONS
This section examines the proper application of AI in education with an emphasis on the ethical aspects.It addresses the significance of accountability, transparency, and justice in AI algorithms, highlighting the requirement for moral standards and laws to protect teaching methods.
