As the world shifts towards technological advancements, Bangladesh's education system is also being transformed by artificial intelligence (AI). With the aim of digitizing education, Bangladesh is leveraging AI to create smart classrooms, digital learning platforms, and AI-powered tools to aid students and teachers. However, there are both positive and negative impacts of AI on the Bangladeshi education system. On one hand, AI tools provide students with personalized learning experiences, enable teachers to streamline their administrative tasks, and enhance writing and speaking skills. AI-powered apps also assist students with disabilities and improve learning for rural students through virtual classrooms. On the other hand, students in Bangladesh are increasingly misusing AI to complete assignments and projects, reducing their productivity and critical thinking abilities. Furthermore, the lack of proper training in AI tools and apps makes students and teachers vulnerable to data breaches and cybercrime.
