Artificial intelligence (AI) is transforming the educational environment and offering broad opportunities for personalization, adaptive feedback, and effective assessment. Furthermore, the impact of AI on education extends far beyond technological efficiency: it raises questions about the meaning of humanity, ethics and values in a digital society, the principles of fairness, responsibility, transparency and respect for human dignity. This article considers education as a space where AI should serve the formation of the person, not merely the information of the individual. This raises concerns about the disappearance of human relationships, critical thinking, and ethical awareness in learning environments. The pedagogical potential of artificial intelligence is best realized when it is used as a complement (rather than a replacement) to "human teachers," supporting hybrid models that combine algorithmic precision with emotional intelligence. Emerging frameworks emphasize the need for teachers and students to understand artificial intelligence, as well as ethical guidelines that ensure transparency and fairness in algorithmic decision-making. The use of AI in the pedagogical process must be based on a human-centered model, where technology does not replace the teacher but supports their relationship with the student. The article proposes Benanti's model of "pedagogical algoretics," which combines digital literacy, ethical sensitivity, and spiritual intelligence, and explores how AI can contribute to education for responsibility, dialogue, and compassion in contemporary educational practice.
