Abstract

This article aims to provide an overview of the Sustainability of educational services in the era of Artificial Intelligence (AI). It displays the theoretical underpinnings of AI, its significance in education, prevalent applications, and the necessary requirements for ensuring the continuity of educational services within this AI-driven era. Adopting a descriptive approach, the article thoroughly examines AI and its impact on sustaining educational services, primarily through Arabic and English literature reviews and the analysis of relevant reports. It concludes by offering recommendations for exploring alternative methods to sustain educational services in the era of AI.
