A Review Article – Facebook’s Meta AI: A Potential Boon or Doom for Learning?

Artificial intelligence (AI) tools have made significant leaps in various sectors, including education. Recently, Facebook released its latest open-source AI platform called the Meta AI, which may offer unique and endless opportunities for educators and students to automate content creation, enhance language processing, and facilitate interactive learning. This review investigates the possible impact of meta-AI on higher education, including its potential benefits and challenges. It highlighted versatility, capabilities, and accuracy, making it particularly useful for research and science subjects. However, it also emphasizes the risks associated with limited accessibility, steep learning curve, ethical and privacy concerns, and over-reliance, which can hinder student learning and deepen educational inequality. Considering these findings, this paper calls for broader and equitable access to technology, provides comprehensive training and support, establishes clear data protection policies, and a responsible and balanced approach to the use of this platform to maximize the benefit. In conclusion, Facebook’s Meta AI holds the potential to revolutionize the teaching and learning experience in the education sector, but challenges must be considered and must be addressed to ensure inclusivity and safeguarding privacy, ultimately determining whether its integration will be a boon or a doom.
