Abstract: Artificial Intelligence (AI) is increasingly transforming the educational landscape, offering benefits such as personalized learning, improved accessibility, and enhanced teaching efficiency. This study aims to explore the impact of AI technologies in education, focusing on how these tools can improve learning outcomes, access, and support for educators. A mixed-methods research design combined quantitative surveys from 200 educators, students, and administrators and qualitative interviews with 20 AI experts and policymakers. The survey revealed that 85% of participants agreed AI enhances personalized learning, 72% noted improvements in accessibility, and 81% acknowledged AI’s role in increasing teaching efficiency. Statistical analysis confirmed the significance of these impacts (p < 0.05). The interviews provided insights into ethical concerns, such as data privacy and AI bias, and highlighted infrastructure limitations in rural areas. The findings demonstrate that while AI significantly benefits education, its integration requires addressing ethical, governance, and infrastructure challenges. The study concludes that AI can be a powerful tool for improving educational equity and efficiency, provided that responsible implementation is ensured. The research has implications for policymakers, educators, and technology developers, offering guidelines for AI’s ethical and effective integration in education.
