Research Insights on the Ethical Aspects of AI-Based Smart Learning Environments: Review on the Confluence of Academic Enterprises and AI

Abstract

Dramatic progress in the use of AI for the design of smart learning systems has undoubtedly enhanced the professional competence of students across the globe. However, the sudden access to unlimited autonomy has posed unprecedented risks to moral and ethical practices in educational standards that far outweigh the rewards. In this research, the authors attempt to present a succinct review on the ethical implications of employing artificial intelligence in classroom education both from the educator and the student’s perspective. Summarizing the loopholes in establishing strong ethical practices by virtue of AI leverage, especially in the realm of education is of utmost importance. The findings of this study revealed two main spheres of educational transformation that need to be addressed in smart academic enterprises: (a) automated review generation based on student and evaluator scores (b)infallible system to ensure adherence to ethical practices during assessments.
