Digital transformation in the field of education has brought many new applications and the usage of artificial intelligence (AI) has also increased rapidly among the education sector. At this point, this study aims to explore positive and negative sides of the usage of artificial intelligence in the education sector. Also, the optimum usage of AI in the education system will be discussed in this study. This study employs a qualitative research methodology to explore the optimum usage of artificial intelligence in the education sector. The study includes open access and available data and publications to review and analyze the usage of AI in the education sector. The study evaluated two sides of artificial intelligence in the education sector. When considering the advantages of AI usage in the education sector, it is determined that the future of the education sector will probably include much more smart technology tools and AI-based systems in the future. On the other side, the disadvantages of AI usage in the education sector warn policymakers to be careful in employing smart technologies and AI-based systems in the education sector.}, number={Special Issue}, publisher={İstanbul Technical University}
