Artificial intelligence plays a key role in transforming educational practices and interactions within classrooms. This advancement enables personalized learning tailored to the individual needs of each student. Artificial intelligence provides teachers with insight into the specific strengths and weaknesses of each pupil, making it easier to adapt teaching materials. It also enables the development of innovative teaching methods, including virtual reality, simulations and adaptive platforms. The interaction between teachers/professors, pupils and artificial intelligence creates a dynamic educational environment. Teachers/professors become learning advisors, encouraging collaboration and critical thinking, while artificial intelligence provides support through instant feedback and personalized tasks. This combination enables more efficient learning and development of key skills needed for the 21st century. This paper presents the impact of artificial intelligence and its application in education with an emphasis on primary and secondary education. The paper explores new perspectives of teaching methods through the application of artificial intelligence, investigating adaptive lesson plans, adaptation of materials and the impact of personalized approaches on pupil motivation. It shows the everyday application of artificial intelligence through smart assistants and the Internet of Things, including the development of intelligent tutorials, the use of virtual assistants and the integration of artificial intelligence in online teaching platforms. However, with the development of artificial intelligence in education comes a number of challenges, including data privacy issues, ethical dilemmas and the need for appropriate teacher/professor training. The key is to achieve a balance between technological innovation and preserving the human touch in education. Despite the challenges, AI in education promises to revolutionize the way we learn and teach, laying the foundations for more inclusive, tailored and effective education.
