Abstract
Artificial Intelligence (AI) is reshaping every aspect of human life including learning process. AI is engraved in handheld devices and mobile applications as digital companion. However, the proliferation of sense engines that are content creators make researchers to question the quality of learning by students who are frequently using AI. Hence, this paper addresses a fundamental question of whether Gen-AI (Gen-AI) poses opportunities or challenges in students‘ learning process. This analytical paper adopts a scoping review and PRISMA (Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic reviews and Meta-Analysis) approach by identifying and reviewing SCOPUS-indexed publications from 2019 to 2024 on the variables under review. This review is significant for the future of Gen-AI in education. As a way forward, several recommendations are made that there should be institutional guidelines on the use of Gen-AI for learning so that algorithm-generated content aligns with acceptable moral values, and students should always assess whether the generated content satisfies their learning needs rather than giving them quick answers for immediate use.
