Abstract

It has been proposed that artificial intelligence will reshape education, and therefore the research and application of artificial intelligence in education have drawn increasing attention. However, the exaggeration of AI’s application in education still exists, and some optimistic conceptions still need reconsideration, and some key issues remain to be discussed and solved. In this case, this paper first discusses the definition of artificial intelligence, and proposes that artificial intelligence should consider both its technical dimension and human dimension. On this basis, the paper further analyzes the relationship between AI and education, and explores the perspectives of AI education and pedagogy, ethics, human rights, personalisation, saving teacher time, intelligence, efficacy and impact, techno-solutionism, commercialisation of education, colonialism, trust, etc., which are digging beneath the surface of artificial intelligence in education. While people are aware of important issues such as AI ethics and humanism in education, the resolution is still a long way off as the direction of AI development is controlled by the tech giants. By discussing the essence of artificial intelligence in education, this paper hopes to encourage more researchers and practitioners not only to pay attention to the surface value of artificial intelligence in education, but also to discover, think about and respond to emerging and still unknown challenges.
