AI IMPLEMENTATION IN EDUCATIONAL THINKING A BETRAYAL TO GOD-GIVEN MENTAL CAPACITY: A CRITICAL REVIEW

Abstract

The integration of Artificial Intelligence (AI) into modern education has sparked significant debate across philosophical, ethical, theological, and practical domains. While some view AI as a threat to human cognition and a potential betrayal of divine endowment, others argue that AI enhances educational equity, personalizes learning, and expands cognitive potential. This paper critically explores the multifaceted impact of AI on education, particularly its implications for spiritual and intellectual development. It examines how AI affects traditional pedagogical values, the teacher’s role, and the human capacity for ethical reasoning and creativity. Through philosophical inquiry, real-world case studies, and theological reflection, the study argues that AI, when used responsibly and ethically, serves not as a replacement but as an extension of God-given intellect. Educators must remain central, serving as moral and spiritual guides in a technologically enhanced learning environment.
