Abstract: The integration of artificial intelligence (AI) particularly language models into education has catalyzed an ongoing debate regarding its prospective advantages and perils. Critics continue to stress the perils arguing against continued utilization in educational settings, while those advocating for this technology continue to underscore the need to mitigate the emerging challenges while leveraging the immense opportunities it characterizes. This critical literature review contains an analysis of the impact of ChatGPT, a widely-discussed AI language model, on global education ecosystems. Through an exhaustive literature review, this study evaluates whether ChatGPT acts as a constructive instrument for enhancing personalized learning, supporting educators, and improving access, or if it poses significant challenges like undercutting conventional teaching roles, propagating inequality, and raising ethical issues. The findings reveal that although ChatGPT presents transformative educational opportunities, realizing its full potential necessitates careful and ethical implementation. Ultimately, ChatGPT can be an invaluable educational resource, provided its assimilation is thoughtfully supervised to alleviate associated risks.
