looking for adaptable, safe, and effective ways to fulfill these concerns 18 with the help of
technology. Naturally, educators are curious about whether the quick advancements in
technology in daily life may assist. Like everyone else, educators make use of 24 AI-
powered services in their daily lives. Examples include automated travel planning on their
phones, voice assistants in their homes, and tools that can create essays, fix grammar,
and finish sentences. (Educational Technology, 2023, 1) Teachers are hesitant to integrate
artificial intelligence 1 (AI) into their teaching practices due to fear and a lack of
technological knowledge. They worry about potential job displacement caused by the
reliance on AI could lead to a future lack of essential skills among students. Teachers are
concerned that if it becomes too simple for students to pass off work done by computers as
their own, they would not acquire the necessary skills. It's known that AI may "hallucinate"
by giving false information that could mislead students, which adds to worries that its
usage could encourage cheating. Therefore, generative AI has been outright prohibited in
Actually, what some teachers are not aware of is that Artificial intelligence can help them
manage their time more effectively by automating certain tasks, 1 allowing them to focus
on teaching. AI can also assist in reducing the overwhelming feeling teachers may

students, it's essential not to deprive them of technology, including artificial intelligence, as
the world is constantly evolving. AI is already integrated into the daily operations of many
businesses, and denying students 30 the opportunity to learn about AI would hinder their
ability to effectively participate in society. AI can also play a crucial role in guiding students
towards future careers. By analyzing extensive amounts of data, AI algorithms can provide
insights into job prospects and market trends, suggesting suitable career paths based on
students' interests, skills, and the demand in the job market. This can help students make
more informed decisions about their future and better prepare them for the workforce.

English language teaching in bilingual schools stem from a confluence of factors shaping
the modern educational landscape. Firstly, the rapid advancement of technology has
ushered in an era where traditional teaching methods often struggle to keep pace with the
approaches and the preferences of today's learners. Furthermore, students today face a
myriad of distractions and time constraints, with competing demands from extracurricular
activities.
This diminishing attention span and lack of dedicated study time pose significant
challenges for educators striving to engage and motivate students effectively. 2 On the
other hand, teachers find themselves grappling with their own set of challenges. Despite
their dedication to fostering a dynamic learning environment, they often encounter barriers
such as limited time and resources. The demanding nature of the profession, coupled with
administrative duties and curriculum requirements, leaves little room for experimentation
testing and academic benchmarks further exacerbates the situation, constraining teachers'
autonomy and impeding their ability to tailor instruction to meet the diverse needs of

students. The aforementioned challenges are not merely inconveniences but rather
lack of student interest and time represents 6 more than just a hurdle; it signifies a
disengagement from learning that can have profound effects on academic achievement
and long-term educational outcomes. Students who feel disconnected from the learning
experience are less likely to retain information, participate actively in class discussions, or
develop essential critical thinking skills. Similarly, the shortage of creativity and time among
monotony, where teaching becomes a mechanical task rather than a dynamic and
a host of ethical and practical considerations that demand careful scrutiny. Issues such as
data privacy, algorithmic bias, and the potential erosion of student-teacher relationships
that upholds ethical standards and promotes positive learning outcomes. Therefore, it is
imperative to investigate these challenges comprehensively, not only to understand their
underlying causes but also to identify innovative solutions that foster a more engaging,
inclusive, and effective learning environment for all stakeholders involved. I.2. Description

CHAPTER II
Chapter II - Theory Frame 2.1 Artificial Intelligence Before we explore how AI operates in
education, let's first define this technology broadly. Artificial intelligence enables machines
to 28 perform tasks that typically rely on human thinking. Programs and devices powered
by AI can make decisions, solve problems, comprehend and replicate human language,
and glean insights from unorganized data. (Hamilton, 2023) Artificial intelligence, within the
and cognitive abilities typically associated with human intelligence. This encompasses
abilities like reasoning, learning, problem-solving, and even creativity. AI applications span
autonomous vehicles, identifying and treating cancer, and, notably in the realm of
generative AI, generating content and knowledge rather than solely accessing and
retrieving it. (Bailey, 2023 ) Various perspectives exist for comprehending AI, with two
primary categories being rules-based and machine learning-based AI. Rules-based AI
performance over time, especially when exposed to vast and intricate datasets. In
tracking student activities and constructing models for accurately forecasting student
outcomes. Despite still being in its developmental stages, machine learning-based AI has
applications. One significant area is natural language processing, which involves machines
understanding textual content. Automated essay scoring exemplifies this, utilizing natural
models are also crucial facets of AI, employing data-driven approaches for forecasting. For
instance, Netflix utilizes an AI-driven recommender system to suggest new movies to its
users. (Jimenez & Boser, 2021). 2.2 1 Artificial Intelligence in education Given the
widespread influence of artificial intelligence today, its integration into various sectors,
including education, is unsurprising. It offers significant benefits and 10 has the potential to
risks, which are explored in detail later in the text. Opinions on AI's role in education vary,
with some eagerly anticipating its potential benefits while others express concerns about
potential drawbacks. AI has already been popular in the corporate sector, but now it is
gaining popularity in the education sector, both 2 in teaching and learning and overall
campus management (Dhawan & Batra, 2021). The origins of AI are traced back to a
workshop hosted by John McCarthy at Dartmouth College 11 in the United States in 1956.
He used the phrase 2 artificial intelligence for the first time when explaining that a
computer can be built to replicate any part of learning (Pedró, 2020). On the other hand,
Luckin et al. (2016) argue that it is since 1970 that AI has been in the field of education and
for individualized learning and creating automated evaluation and feedback. This shows
that AI is nothing new and has been there for ages; the term just became more known and
received propaganda around it. Moreover, Miao et al. (2021) already established a
guide policy-makers to better understand the potential and implications of AI for teaching
and learning and create policies for their institution. This document was also done in order
to ensure that the 34 use of AI in educational contexts actually aids in the achievement of
SDG 4: Ensure inclusive and equitable quality education and promote lifelong learning
opportunities for all. This UNESCO guidance aims to help policymakers better understand
the potential 35 and implications of AI for teaching and learning (Miao et al., 2021).
ensuring that the interests of 29 low- and middle-income countries are represented in
meaningful discussions and decisions, and building bridges between these countries and
those with more advanced AI implementation are all necessary if AI is to support SDG 4
(Miao et al., 2021). However, this document doesn’t take into consideration different
contexts and countries with different resources than others. Now, knowing Artificial
Intelligence 28 and how it is composed; it is necessary to see its scope, especially in the
educational area, as this is the main construct of social life worldwide. As it has been said,
education has changed radically due to various factors, including society, pandemic, and

introduce technologies into their classrooms and be part of Education 4.0, which, according
to Navarrete (2021), cited by Acuña (2022), is "that which promotes the application of
physical and digital resources that provide innovative solutions to current and future
challenges of society," and thus it can be immersed in this so-called fourth industrial
revolution, where the interaction between machine and human is imminent. In relation to

the internet, social networks, and everything related to technology. (Gross, 1992) states
that in the educational applications of AI: Two general types can be distinguished, those
aimed at providing and facilitating certain learning to the student, and those aimed at
helping the teacher in tasks such as planning, designing, and organizing teaching tasks.
Given its adaptability, both for those mediating knowledge and for those receiving it, it is

provide real-time feedback and general recommendations, thus optimizing the teaching-
learning process and improving academic performance. The most outstanding example of
these AI-based tutoring systems is the virtual tutoring system developed by Stanford
University. Although it has also been applied in Latin American countries, currently in Peru,
a pilot project has been launched for the implementation of virtual math tutors in primary
and secondary schools in rural areas. ● Virtual counseling without human intervention:
Once a utopia, now a reality that facilitates the teaching-learning process and allows
personalized resolution of any doubts or problems students may have. Chatbots are a vivid
example of this. ● Personalized learning contents: Each participant in the educational
process has a different time and way of learning, so through AI, it can be adapted to each
case and offer the appropriate contents in the way that best fits the student: videos, texts,
audios, etc., in a more proactive and effective manner. ● Prediction of school dropout:
School dropout 1 is one of the major problems worldwide for education, for various
reasons. Artificial intelligence facilitates the detection 15 of the problem and allows
anticipating it, thus providing viable solutions to prevent or significantly reduce school
dropout. These are some of the most significant contributions of AI to education, although
the field is broad and vast, regarding the various positive ways in which artificial
intelligence can help promote more efficient and adaptable education in this era of the
digital revolution. In addition to this, some applications have been developed and put into
operation 5 as a result of artificial intelligence for the educational field, among which are:

access to personal information can lead to breaches of existing laws and standards. AI
systems often request permission to access personal data, but many individuals may
unknowingly grant access without fully understanding the extent of data sharing. This lack
of choice raises ethical dilemmas, as students may face unequal treatment or academic
penalties for non-compliance. Surveillance, which tracks user actions and preferences to
predict future behaviors, encroaches upon students' privacy rights and limits their
AI systems. Machine learning models can inadvertently incorporate biases in the data they
are trained on, leading to discriminatory outcomes. The reliability of information generated
by AI tools poses a significant risk, as the sources used, reliability, currency, and potential
biases are often unclear. Educational institutions must establish guidelines to ensure the
ethical and accurate use of AI-generated content. 2 The impact of AI on future job

At IQ International School we've got a cozy group here: just 8 students and 2 teachers and
at MIEL Christian School there were 30 students and 2 teachers. They're the seniors of the
