These technologies provide opportunities to enhance personalized learning experiences, improve accessibility, and streamline administrative processes, but also present formidable challenges, including ethical concerns, resistance to change, and the risk of widening educational inequalities. This paper explores the transformative potential of AI and internet technologies within education, addressing both the benefits and challenges they introduce. By analysing their impact on personalization, affordability, and the creation of new educational roles, this research offers a comprehensive examination of the technological evolution of education, emphasizing the need to balance AI's capabilities with the indispensable qualities of human educator
