• This paper examines the integration of artificial intelligence (AI) into the education system, focusing on its key opportunities and challenges in the context of the Fourth Industrial Revolution. Artificial intelligence has become an important tool for modernizing education, enhancing learning quality, supporting personalized instruction, and improving educational management processes. The study is based on a comparative analysis of the experiences of Germany and Kazakhstan in implementing AI in education. The German model emphasizes strategic planning, teacher training, and ethical and legal regulation, while Kazakhstan’s approach focuses on accessibility and rapid implementation through widely used EdTech platforms. The findings indicate that the effective use of artificial intelligence depends not only on technological infrastructure but also on teacher readiness, data security, and ethical responsibility. The paper highlights the potential of AI to transform education and identifies the key conditions for its sustainable and balanced integration.
