Artificial Intelligence and the impact of Ethical and Unethical Use of Technology in Education
Main Article Content
Abstract
Artificial Intelligence (AI) is a leading technological breakthrough defining the present age. Like other dimensions of human progress, AI embodies both beneficial and adverse aspects, and its influence is extensive and profound. Almighty Allah created humankind, designated them as His caliphs on earth, and placed the universe under their service. When human beings employ the abilities and resources granted by Allah whether in their original state or through the synthesis of different elements-they generate innovations in diverse forms and applications. These innovations arise within the framework of the natural order; which Islamic discourse identifies as Sunnat Allah (the divine laws). These laws are evident throughout the creations of Allah. As humanity advanced from storing information in devices to enabling machines to process and evaluate data, technology reached the stage now recognized as Artificial Intelligence. In this research explore; The way Artificial Intelligent (AI) functions, what is Algorithm? How function in searching, Evolution of AI, explain the unethical and ethical use of Artificial Intelligence in the Education and its impacts; like Academic Dishonesty in Plagiarism, Overdependence, Biasness, Inaccuracy, use to violate Education system, Loss of Human Interaction and seeking, inequality, inaccessibility, Manipulation, unfair evaluations in Education, the research also delve the ethical use of Artificial Intelligence in the Education sector and its impacts; like fairness in AI algorithms, data security and privacy for students, accountability and transparency in AI decision-making, equality, honesty, and equal accessibility, This study explores impacts of ethical and unethical use of AI in education sector, the research adopts a constructive and analytical approach, grounded in Humanist approach and informed by contemporary scientific observation.
