This book, Artificial Intelligence in Educational Technology: Transforming Teaching and Learning, was written to explore the evolving relationship between AI and education in a comprehensive, critical, and accessible manner. The book examines how artificial intelligence can support educational innovation while also addressing the ethical, pedagogical, and social implications associated with its implementation. Rather than presenting AI solely as a technological solution, this book emphasizes the importance of human-centered approaches that balance innovation with educational values such as equity, creativity, collaboration, and critical thinking.
