In recent years, artificial intelligence has become more and more influential indeed, however, the impact is somehow subtle. It could be controversial whether artificial intelligence is more helpful or more dangerous, but in my perspective, it is leaning toward the more beneficial side.
Regarding the effect that artificial intelligence brings on education, it is undeniable that there are possibilities of students cheating by using AI, but the more important thing is, that elite students know how to use AI properly. For instance, they may ask AI to outline a piece of writing for them and fill their ideas in if they do not acknowledge that type of writing, and they will remember the format next time. AI could also act as an assistant teacher, who is always there when people come to them with puzzles that confuse them. In addition, teachers may also use AI to make PowerPoints for them to save their time for more meaningful work. Therefore, I think AI is boosting the development of the education industry overall.
