Ethical Challenges of Artificial Intelligence in Education

Students in advanced technology societies are transforming their learning experiences through AI education which now enhances how teachers teach. Our investigation examines how AI affects school performance and studies methods of learning for secondary students in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa (KP) Pakistan's schools. A research design based on numbers gathered data from 300 students in three districts Peshawar, Swat, and Charsadda from both public and private secondary schools through a stratified random sample. Our survey tested student behaviour with AI tools while measuring their learning results and studying habits. We analysed statistical information both for basic view and for hidden conclusions using SPSS. The data association between students' AI tool application and their learning performance produced a medium positive outcome (r = 0.42). Additionally, the results linked AI utilization to enhanced motivation (r = 0.37) and better participation (r = 0.39). Students who used AI tools often in education gained better test results and developed better learning practices. Students living in Peshawar's urban facilities learned more from AI than students studying at Charsadda's rural school system. Students at private schools used AI technology more often and achieved better grades than students at public schools. AI utilization proves to be a major indicator affecting academic results according to our multiple regression results. These results hold true despite considering student gender, school type, and place of residence. The research shows that AI boosts educational results and supports good student behaviour but needs suitable setups and prepared institutions to produce ideal outcomes for all learners. Our research indicates that AI has strong potential for education improvement in KP if we properly design its use and provide quality training to students and teachers. References Alenezi, A. (2023).
