Abstract

Artificial Intelligence (AI) is reshaping education by supporting personalized learning, streamlining administrative work, and offering intelligent tutoring systems, especially in K-12 and higher education. This research explores AI’s application in classroom instruction, student assessment, and adaptive learning, with a focus on its accuracy in school-based environments. AI tools like automated grading and intelligent tutors demonstrate strong performance in structured tasks such as multiple-choice assessments and content recommendations. However, they struggle with subjective tasks, including essay grading and personalized feedback, due to data biases, contextual limitations, and algorithmic shortcomings. These limitations raise concerns about equity, fairness, and over-reliance on AI without sufficient human oversight. Additionally, the lack of transparency in AI decision-making can affect trust and the ability of educators to intervene appropriately. The study emphasizes the importance of teacher-AI collaboration to ensure ethical and effective use of technology. It concludes that while AI holds great promise in identifying at-risk students and customizing curricula, its success relies on high-quality, representative data and transparent, well-regulated algorithms. Responsible integration, guided by educators and policy frameworks, is essential for maximizing the benefits of AI while addressing accuracy concerns and safeguarding educational equity.

Keywords: Artificial intelligence in education, personalized learning, AI accuracy, AI-teacher collaboration, AI tools
