The Dark Side of Artificial Intelligence - the Negative Effects on Learning

Abstract

Artificial Intelligence (AI) has emerged as a powerful tool in various domains, promising to revolutionize the way we learn and access information. While AI has brought undeniable benefits, this article delves into the darker side of AI's impact on learning. Through an extensive literature review and qualitative analysis, this study explores the negative effects of AI on education, particularly focusing on student engagement, critical thinking, privacy concerns, and the potential for increased educational inequality. Methodologies that have been employed to investigate these negative effects are also discussed. The findings indicate that while AI offers significant advantages, there are crucial concerns that must be addressed to ensure a balanced and ethical implementation in the educational landscape.
