Abstract
The 21st century presents unprecedented technological stride with the (r) evolution of artificial intelligence (AI). AI can shape learning outcomes and foster self-paced and collaborative learning. The role of artificial intelligence in teaching and learning processes has enhanced educational universalization, making distance between the teacher and learners not to be a challenge anymore. AI technologies such as ChatGPT, Google, and Writing AI hold transforming trends and predictable impacts on creative learning and problem-solving skills in the years to come. Thus, AI seems to be forward-looking towards creating learning transitions that can bring more interconnectivity that can promote global benefits. However, with all these promises AI holds for creative learning and critical thinking, there seems to be a handful of perils that are also looming as AI continues to have stronger presence in teaching and learning contexts. Issues related to algorithmic bias and data security continue to pose threats to the outstanding popularity AI enjoys today. AI disruptive tendencies should be carefully excavated and examined to enhance innovations that can address its perceived shortcomings. Considering the above points, this presentation aims to explore the pros and cons of AI of the educational landscape. The presentation is hoped to be done online.
