ABSTRACT: Artificial Intelligence (AI), particularly generative AI tools such as ChatGPT, has quickly become a significant influence in contemporary education. These technologies are not only changing how students acquire knowledge but also how they process information, express ideas, and engage with learning materials. This review paper compiles insights from various recent studies to explore the impact of AI in areas such as personalized learning, writing enhancement, cognitive growth, and student involvement. The collective research indicates that AI can greatly enhance academic achievement by offering immediate feedback, helping with writing, and fostering self-directed learning. Alongside these benefits, new ideas like prompt engineering and AI literacy are increasingly important for students to use these tools effectively. Nevertheless, the studies also point out several challenges, such as excessive dependence on AI, a decline in critical thinking abilities, and issues concerning ethics and data security. In summary, the findings suggest that AI holds substantial promise for improving education, but it should be used thoughtfully. The most successful approach seems to be a balanced strategy where AI aids in the learning process while human involvement ensures the development of critical thinking and ethical use.
