Abstract

Artificial Intelligence (AI) has emerged as a transformative force shaping contemporary educational systems, legal structures, and ethical frameworks. Its rapid diffusion across sectors has enabled unprecedented improvements in efficiency, personalization, and data-driven decision-making, while simultaneously raising complex concerns regarding privacy, accountability, and social justice (Russell & Norvig, 2021, p. 20).

This study aims to analyze the role of artificial intelligence in education, examine the legal challenges associated with its adoption, and explore the ethical implications within the context of emerging societies. The research employs a descriptive-analytical methodology supported by a conceptual comparative approach grounded in international frameworks such as UNESCO and the European Commission.

The findings indicate that while AI offers significant opportunities for educational development and governance reform, its sustainable implementation requires integrated strategies that combine technological innovation with robust legal regulation and ethical responsibility (UNESCO, 2021, p. 25).
