The integration of artificial intelligence (AI) into educational ecosystems represents a paradigm shift in pedagogical practices and educational governance. While AI offers unprecedented opportunities to personalize learning, optimize administrative processes, and provide intelligent tutoring, it poses significant challenges to maintaining human agency--a cornerstone of effective education. This paper explores the implications of AI in education, with a focus on safeguarding human agency amidst automation. By critically examining the benefits, ethical dilemmas, and potential risks associated with AI-driven education, the paper proposes actionable strategies to ensure that human intuition, creativity, and judgment remain central in the learning process.
