While the advent of Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies in the education sector has largely taken
over conventional class rooms and revolutionize the way education is conducted in the 21st century
to the admiration of many, there are scholars who believe it is too early to celebrate the benefits of
AI in the education sector, since modern AI teaching systems now raises long‐term issues about the
place of the teacher in AI education. The Marxist Alienation theory was considered for this paper.
The Ex‐post factor method of analysis and Deidra’s critical analytic method was utilized for attaining
the objectives of the paper. The paper faults recent attempts at eulogizing the impact of AI in the
education sector and on human development. Extensive research is proposed as necessary for
contemporary scholars in the field of AI and education technology before proper appropriation is
made of its gains in education and human development
