Abstract

Artificial Intelligence (AI) continually introduces new innovations in all aspects of human life. In educational settings, AI offers instant feedback, tailors course materials in real-time, and assesses student engagement using interactive techniques. It enhances teaching methods by providing a distinctive learning experience for students. However, educators using AI in classrooms often fear significant job losses. As automation increases due to the rapid advancement of AI, machines capable of handling complex tasks may eventually replace human workers across various sectors, including education. The loss of employment can adversely affect an individual's livelihood and disrupt the social unity and community sense derived from meaningful employment. Therefore, it is crucial to find a balance between the advantages AI offers and any potential ethical or related challenges. This balance is vital not only for optimizing educational outcomes but also for ensuring that AI serves as a tool for empowerment rather than a source of contention. This study analyzed 16 articles and is particularly interesting for future research using a quantitative approach.
