Abstract
Artificial Intelligence (AI) is being celebrated as solution to human inadequacies in almost
every sector of human society. In education, the impact of AI is significant. However, in the
bid to efficiently assist in achieving educational objectives, concerns are raised to the fact that
AI is interfering with human autonomy. The aim of this paper, therefore, is to develop
working strategies for achieving equilibrium between artificial intelligence and human
autonomy in education. Using analytic philosophy as a tool, the paper discussed in depth the
concepts of artificial intelligence and human autonomy. It highlighted critical areas in
education where AI is having a sphere of dominance and the prospects it brings to education.
Nonetheless, the paper concedes to the fact that human autonomy faces great challenges in
education because of undefined AI boundaries. The paper proposes some strategies to
effectively guide the use of AI and to ensure that those traditional areas of human interaction
in education are protected.
