Major technology firms and several national governments are accelerating deployments of AI chatbots and tutoring tools inside classrooms, rolling out pilot programs from primary to tertiary levels. Companies are positioning conversational models as scalable supports for instruction while some educators warn the tools could undermine core teaching practices and assessment integrity. The trend spans government-led initiatives and vendor partnerships; sources flagged concerns about erosion of pedagogical rigor, data privacy, and assessment validity. For higher‑education institutions, the expansion of classroom AI increases demand for faculty training, new academic-integrity policies, and campus data governance frameworks. Administrators should expect pressure to adopt AI‑enabled teaching aids alongside calls for stronger oversight. Clarification: “Chatbot” here refers to conversational AI systems that can answer questions, generate text, and assist with tutoring or administrative tasks.
