Abstract
Artificial Intelligence through its modern approach supports the development of pharmacy education through customized methods and automatic evaluation systems and computerized training exercises. Students benefit from AI tools which include intelligent tutoring systems together with virtual assistants and simulation platforms because these tools improve their knowledge of pharmacology and drug formulation as well as clinical practice. The transition to AI-controlled education creates new academic integrity issues and ethical problems and demands both students and teachers to adjust. Education in pharmacy relies heavily on educators who maintain both AI responsibility and educational quality and ethical standards throughout their work. Students require guidance on proper AI application together with training for critical thinking and learning how to combine AI solutions with conventional teaching methods. Pharmaceutical sciences see an increasing dependency on artificial intelligence because it performs drug development and supports clinical treatment assessments. AI brings advantages to education but also produces three key risks which include cheating in academic work and privacy issues affecting electronic information as well as barriers to equal access based on technology. The resolution of these problems requires educational staff to enhance their competence and to design both ethical rules and curricula with proper balance. The strategic implementation of AI needs to combine its advantageous features with measures for upholding academic standards and human academic capabilities. Pharmacy educators need to teach students AI application skills properly with added instruction on developing ethical approaches and analytical skills required for professional practice.
