Abstract

             

This article explores the role of Artificial Intelligence (AI) in the development of future learning and essential skills by conducting a comprehensive analysis of AI applications in education. Through a review of existing literature and case studies, the study examines the potential impacts and challenges associated with integrating AI into educational systems. The findings indicate that AI holds significant potential to transform teaching and learning, particularly through the creation of adaptive learning environments, the provision of immediate feedback, and the support of inquiry-based learning. These applications are crucial for fostering key 21st-century skills, such as critical thinking, creativity, and collaboration. However, the implementation of AI in education must consider disparities in access to technology, data security, and ethical concerns. The article advocates for the development of national policies, increased investment in infrastructure, and curriculum reforms to effectively incorporate AI into the Thai education system. A balanced approach that leverages AI technology while prioritizing the development of human skills is recommended to ensure sustainable preparation for future challenges.
