Summary

This study looks at the impact of artificial intelligence (AI) on education, especially in the areas of accessibility, personalised learning, student assessment, and administrative work. The author reviewed findings from different studies to discuss the benefits and challenges of using AI in education. The study shows that AI can make learning more accessible and suited to individual students' needs, support teachers in assessing and grading students, and reduce some administrative workload. However, it also points out challenges such as data privacy, algorithmic bias, unequal access to technology, digital illiteracy, and inadequate teacher preparation. One important point noted in the manuscript is that AI should support teachers rather than replace them, since teachers are still important in the human and social aspects of education. However, the manuscript does not clearly state the type of literature review conducted, and this makes it difficult to assess how the evidence was selected and analysed.

List of major concerns and feedback

• It is difficult to determine what type of literature review was conducted, as the manuscript does not clearly state whether it is a systematic, narrative, scoping, or rapid review. The term "review" is only mentioned once in the abstract. The type of review conducted should be stated consistently in the abstract and introduction section. If the study is intended to be a narrative review, this should be explicitly stated, together with a brief explanation of the approach used.

• The manuscript does not provide information about the databases searched, search period, search terms, inclusion and exclusion criteria, or the process used to select the literature. These details are important for understanding how the evidence was identified and for assessing the reliability of the review.

• The manuscript does not explain how the author reduced the possibility of selection bias when choosing the literature included in the review. This is important because selecting studies without a clearly defined process may affect the findings and conclusions. For example, they could describe the screening process, the criteria used to determine which studies were included, and the number of reviewers involved in screening or assessing the literature. If only one reviewer conducted the selection as the case may be in this study, then this should be acknowledged as a limitation.

• The title of the preprint “Education in the World of AI” suggests a broad discussion of the impact of AI on education, but the manuscript provides limited discussion of the benefits, applications, and challenges of AI in education. Many of the claims are also supported by only a small number of references. The author should provide more evidence, mention specific examples, and cite appropriate references on the different ways AI is being used in education and the challenges associated with such applications.

• Several claims made in the introduction section are not referenced (paragraphs 2-5). This makes it difficult for readers to understand whether these statements are based on literature or the author's observations.

• In the findings and discussion section, paragraph 7 appears to contain important information about parents' perspectives on the use of AI in education, but these claims are not supported by references. This reduces the credibility of the information presented. It is also not clear what the specific findings or contribution of the author are, beyond summarising findings from previously published literature.

• The manuscript identifies several challenges associated with the use of AI in education, such as data security, algorithmic bias, and ethical concerns. However, it does not provide clear recommendations on how these challenges can be addressed. Practical recommendations, including the need for clear security and ethical guidelines for the use of AI, should be provided. This information would be useful to policymakers and institutions.

• It is not clear whether the manuscript is mainly concerned with primary, secondary, or tertiary education. The challenges and benefits of AI may be considerably different at these levels. Also, the manuscript does not clearly identify the specific gap in the existing literature that the review is intended to address.

• The manuscript does not contain a methods section. This is a major concern because a clear methodology is important for establishing how the literature was identified, selected, and reviewed, regardless of the type of review conducted. Without this information, it is difficult to assess the reliability and transparency of the study.

List of minor concerns and feedback

• References 19 and 20 are incorrect, making it difficult for readers to identify and verify the original sources.

• The manuscript mentions a proactive approach taken in China, especially the introduction of courses aimed at addressing data security issues related to AI. However, this example is not discussed in detail, making it difficult for readers to understand how the approach works or how it could be applied in other educational systems. More details about these courses should be provided such as what they cover, who they are designed for, and how they addressed data security concerns. If there is available evidence on their implementation, this should also be cited.

Limitations and ethics

• There is no discussion of the limitations of this study. This is necessary to do because the study is based on a review of existing literature, and limitations in the search, selection, and synthesis of the literature may affect the findings.

• No ethical statement provided in the manuscript since it is a literature review-based study.

List of additional comments and feedback

• The conclusions appear to go beyond what can be supported by the evidence presented in the manuscript. Given the limited number of literature reviewed and the lack of a clearly described review method, it is difficult to make broad conclusions about the overall usefulness and challenges of integrating AI into education. A more comprehensive review of the available literature would help provide a stronger basis for the conclusions and give a clearer picture of both the benefits and challenges of AI integration in educational systems.

• The conclusion and recommendation section contain useful information on how some of the challenges associated with AI could be addressed in education. However, the manuscript as a whole does not provide enough details to support some of these recommendations.
