Artificial intelligence in education is one of the most promising areas of educational technology. Artificial intelligence (AI) has grown to unprecedented proportions in recent decades, infiltrating numerous fields, including education. The modern educational period is mostly focused on artificial intelligence and outcome-based education. The current educational era is focusing on Artificial Intelligence and outcome based education predominantly. Artificial intelligence and associated tools and technologies are becoming more widely available, allowing them to be used in a variety of fields. The application of AI in education is also on the rise; however, its extent and associated challenges are not fully understood. The aim of this study is to explore the impact of artificial intelligence in education. This paper also addresses the challenges of AI in education, as well as the potential risks of such an endeavor. Participants were selected for the study from the Kanyakumari district, ensuring an adequate sample size for statistical analysis. The responses were collected, coded, and analyzed. The Garrett Ranking technique was applied for the study. The results emphasize that cost and over-reliance on technology were identified as the major challenges of using artificial intelligence in education. Finally, the study proposed some recommendations for AI in education, with an emphasis on starting conversations about the opportunities and hazards of AI in education for sustainable development.
