Abstract

Materials/methods – This study is a review article, which presents a brief literature review on the possible applications and functionalities of artificial intelligence in education.

Practical implications – One of the prominent emerging challenges in education consists of proposing models and propositions for the integration of artificial intelligence into teaching and learning processes, based on solid didactic and pedagogical principles. Meeting this challenge appropriately and effectively may help to create more flexible, personalized, and sustainable learning environments.

Conclusion – The integration of artificial intelligence within education should be approached from a strong pedagogical approach in which not only algorithms should converge, but also emotions and appropriate values.

Keywords: Artificial intelligence, education, didactics, pedagogy, sustainability.
