This paper explores the growing role of artificial intelligence (AI) in education, analyzing the opportunities and challenges it presents. AI technologies, such as adaptive learning platforms, intelligent tutoring systems, and automated grading, have transformed traditional educational models, offering personalized learning experiences and enhanced engagement. However, the implementation of AI in education is not without challenges, including ethical concerns, data privacy, digital divides, and the potential displacement of human educators. This research aims to provide a comprehensive overview of AI applications in education, examine its potential to transform learning environments, and identify the hurdles that need to be addressed to ensure that AI serves as a complement to human teachers and enhances educational outcomes. Recommendations for policy development, infrastructure investment, and ethical standards are also discussed to promote the effective and equitable integration of AI in education.
