The integration of Artificial Intelligence (AI) in education has significantly transformed teaching and learning processes. This research paper examines the impact of AI on the student–teacher relationship, focusing on changes in roles, communication, trust, and emotional interaction. While AI technologies such as adaptive learning systems and chatbots enhance personalized learning and reduce teacher workload, they also pose challenges related to academic integrity, reduced human interaction, and dependency on technology. This paper adopts a qualitative analytical approach based on existing literature to explore both the opportunities and risks associated with AI in education. The findings suggest that although AI can support and enrich the learning experience, it cannot replace the emotional and social dimensions of teaching. A balanced integration of AI is necessary to preserve meaningful student–teacher relationships while leveraging technological advancements for improved educational outcomes.
