INTRODUCTION
The creation of computer systems that are capable of carrying out tasks that ordinarily require human intelligence is known as artificial intelligence (AI). These tasks include comprehending natural language, identifying patterns, making independent decisions, and learning from experience (machine learning). Artificial Intelligence (AI) comprises diverse technologies, including machine learning, neural networks, and natural language processing. These technologies allow computers to do tasks without explicit programming, evaluate data, and adapt to new knowledge.
Artificial Intelligence (AI), emerging in the mid-20th century, represents a transformative leap in technology. AI's impact spans sectors, reshaping how we live and work. With machine learning and robotics at its core, AI introduces unprecedented possibilities and challenges. From healthcare and finance to education and beyond, AI is transforming humans way of living, working habits and interaction process. While enhancing efficiency, innovation, and convenience, the widespread integration of AI raises important questions about its societal impacts. Issues such as job displacement, ethical considerations, and the need for regulatory frameworks come to the forefront.
Thus, exploration delves into the multifaceted effects of AI on different sectors, unraveling both its promises and challenges in shaping the future landscape of our interconnected society.

BACKGROUND / HISTORY
Artificial Intelligence (AI) started in 1956 at the Dartmouth Conference, initially focusing on symbolic AI. In the 1960s and 1970s, challenges caused a slowdown ("AI winter"), but expert systems gained popularity. The 1980s saw AI come back with machine learning, like neural networks. In the 1990s, AI found uses in speech recognition and computer vision. The 2000s had breakthroughs with support vector machines, and AI became part of daily life. The 2010s were dominated by deep learning in various fields. As of January 2022, AI keeps advancing with ongoing research in areas like reinforcement learning, explainable AI, and ethics, showing a continuous evolution from idea to reality.

Manuel Au-Yong-Oliveira, Carlos Lopes, Francisco Soares, Gonçalo Pinheiro, and Pedro Guimarães, in their research paper, "What can we expect from the future? The impact of Artificial Intelligence on Society," conducted ten interviews and surveyed 100 participants to explore concerns about AI's impact. The survey's findings indicate a widespread sense of unease, especially in relation to potential consequences for employment and a perceived loss of control. Surprisingly, over 50% believe humans will use computer power to enhance skills and stay ahead of AI. Interviews show that students in practical courses, such as engineering, express more fear of AI than social science students, possibly due to a deeper understanding of AI's implications for their careers or the belief in the unique human sensitivity in their fields that AI struggles to replicate compared to technical skills in other professions.
Sayed Fayaz Ahmad, Md Parves Alam, and Mohd. Khairul Rehmat's research paper, "Impact of artificial intelligence on human loss in decision making, laziness, and safety in education," investigates how AI affects Chinese and Pakistani
university students' decision-making, laziness, and privacy concerns. The 285-student study shows that AI affects judgment, encourages indolence, and poses privacy and security concerns. Notably, significant percentages attribute challenges, such as 68.9% for laziness and privacy concerns and 27.7% for decision-making challenges, to AI in both countries. The findings underscore the importance of responsible AI implementation in education to address these concerns.
Akn nci, Sökmen Alaca, and Askin Inci Sokmen's research paper, "The Effect Of Artificial Intelligence Technology On Politics And International Relations," examines how artificial intelligence (AI) is influencing political area and international affairs in the digital age. AI, characterized by "thinking and self-learning" features, is reshaping states and societies, often viewed as an existential threat due to its potential to mimic human thinking. While lacking a universal definition, AI is generally considered a combination of software and hardware systems enabling digital reasoning, movement, speech, and perception. This ongoing project in computer engineering continues to profoundly influence the future.
Tomasz Sapczyski's research paper, "Artificial Intelligence in science and everyday life, its application and development prospects," evaluates artificial intelligence's effects on business and society. The study explores the role of AI in the future economy, considering its widespread use and potential threats. Using methods such as literature analysis and synthesis of collected facts, the paper concludes that AI's significance is increasing, influencing various aspects of life and societal development.
V. FUTURE SCOPE
This review paper opens avenues for deeper exploration in several key areas. Firstly, it dives into the ethical and security considerations surrounding AI world, addressing issues such as transparency, and most importantly income inequality. Additionally, examining the evolving role of AI in shaping and enhancing educational methodologies and curricular will
IV. CONCLUSION
Through combing numerous journals and research papers, this paper focuses on how Artificial intelligence have impacted the various aspects of human life in both exciting and terrifying ways. Artificial intelligence, in education sectors, have formed a wide web based online platform which aids the teaching quality with humanoid robots as teachers. Whereas it has also resulted in emotional exploitation by replacing extensive human labour and widening wage gaps by introducing computers and robots in the fields of banking, education, telecommunication, healthcare and many more. However, it can never be able to swiping jobs completely as it still lacks in sympathetic and intuitive intelligence which human possess. Thus, this review deeply dives into the cumulative effects of AI in advancing learning quality and uplifting the society in technological terms along with its drawbacks of becoming a stumbling block in the field of employment. All in all, Artificial Intelligence is a double-edge sword as it brings peace but can induce wars too. So, accompanied by reaping the benefits of Artificial Intelligence, it has also become necessary to explore the approaching warnings of it for sustaining legitimate development.
provide insights for preparing future generations for a technologically advanced workforce and manpower. Furthermore, the paper's future scope involves closely monitoring policy developments and industrial practices to offer informed perspectives on the regulatory frameworks that may influence AI's societal impact. To enhance the practical relevance of our work, ongoing collaboration with experts from diverse fields, such as technology, sociology, and policy, will be essential for a comprehensive understanding of the evolving landscape of artificial intelligence and its implications for society.
