This study explores the potential negative impacts of integrating AI in education, highlighting the need for a balanced approach to AI adoption. Through a combination of content analysis and survey research, the study develops and validates a theoretical model that identifies key concerns associated with AI implementation in educational settings. The findings reveal significant concerns about human connection, data privacy and security, algorithmic bias, transparency, critical thinking, access equity, ethical issues, teacher development, reliability, and the consequences of AI-generated content. These concerns are interconnected, suggesting that addressing one area can positively impact others. The study emphasizes the importance of maintaining human connections, ensuring data privacy and security, mitigating biases, enhancing system transparency, fostering creativity, reducing access disparities, emphasizing ethics, preparing teachers, ensuring system reliability, and regulating AI-generated content. It advocates for comprehensive strategies to leverage AI's benefits while safeguarding against its disadvantages. The research underscores the need for holistic policymaking to ensure responsible AI integration in education. The study also highlights the importance of teacher professional development and the ethical considerations surrounding AI use in education. The findings suggest that while AI offers transformative potential, its integration must be carefully managed to uphold core educational values and mitigate risks. The study concludes that a balanced approach is essential to ensure that AI enhances educational experiences without compromising the integrity of the learning ecosystem.This study explores the potential negative impacts of integrating AI in education, highlighting the need for a balanced approach to AI adoption.
