Addressing Maladaptive Behaviors from AI Integration in Learning

Book excerpt: In recent years, the integration of Artificial Intelligence (AI) into educational systems has marked a transformative shift in how learning is delivered and experienced. AI technologies, ranging from intelligent tutoring systems to adaptive learning platforms, offer unprecedented opportunities for personalized and efficient education. However, this rapid evolution also brings new challenges, particularly concerning students' behavioral and emotional well-being. The purpose of this book is to explore the complex interplay between AI and maladaptive behaviors in educational settings. While AI has the potential to revolutionize education by tailoring learning experiences to individual needs, it also has the capacity to influence student behavior in ways that may be detrimental to their overall development. As educators, policymakers, and researchers, it is crucial to understand and address these potential impacts to create a more supportive and balanced learning environment.
