Integrating Artificial Intelligence (AI) into education offers transformative potential, including personalized learning and administrative efficiency. However, this paper highlights six critical challenges that hinder effective implementation: (1) over-reliance on AI and undervaluation of human educators, (2) inadequate teacher training, (3) digital inequality, (4) concerns over data privacy and algorithmic bias, (5) increased risk of academic dishonesty, and (6) dependency on unvetted technology providers. Drawing on global and Vietnamese case studies, the article stresses the importance of contextual adaptation, equitable infrastructure, ethical safeguards, and continuous evaluation. The findings underscore that AI should not replace human educators but complement them through thoughtful integration supported by firm policy and pedagogy.
