Generative AI Chatbots in Education Technology: A Critical Review of Feedback, Assessment, and Governance

Generative artificial intelligence (AI) chatbots have become a disruptive education technology because they combine dialogue, content generation, reasoning support, and immediate feedback in a single interface. Their rapid adoption has created a strategic challenge for schools, universities, and professional education providers: the same tools that can expand formative support and learner agency can also weaken assessment validity, privacy protection, academic integrity, and equitable participation. This review synthesises peer-reviewed literature published from 2020 to 2023 to examine how generative AI chatbots should be understood within education technology. The paper focuses on three interdependent areas: feedback and learner support, assessment redesign, and institutional governance. The review finds that the most defensible use of generative AI is not tool substitution but learning-design augmentation: chatbots can support explanation, drafting, questioning, and formative feedback when teachers define learning goals, evidence requirements, and acceptable use conditions. The main risks are not limited to plagiarism or inaccurate outputs; they also include hidden inequity, over-reliance, weakened disciplinary judgement, and policy-practice misalignment. The paper proposes a responsible adoption framework that links pedagogical affordances, assessment redesign, AI literacy, and governance controls. The contribution is a publication-ready conceptual synthesis for institutions seeking to adopt generative AI in education technology without reducing learning to automated content production.

Future Directions of Artificial Intelligence in Neurological and Psychological Sciences: A Review of Innovations, Challenges, and Prospective Developments

AI rapidly impacts the neurological and psychological sciences, both positive and negative, as more AI techniques are developed. This review will examine how reformative AI can improve mental health care and neuropsychological evaluations. Cognitive tools, including machine learning systems and therapeutic bots, are changing the approach to treatment and, in particular, the diagnosis of diseases. For example, early intervention in a mental health condition can be conducted when AI presents the results from a large data set where the disease may be concealed. Nevertheless, using AI also causes ethical concerns such as privacy, data pre-processing bias, and, obviously, the concern of validation. Since AI is a rapidly expanding field, it has essential consequences meant to be enacted to govern its safety and efficiency in usage in the clinical area. The future area of research should be aimed at minimizing the divergence between technical potentiality and clinical application of the developed AI so that the decision support is complementary to the existing stock of human expertise. The following review will discuss the current trends, issues, and prospects of neurological and psychological AI applications, focusing on the concept that interdisciplinary cooperation can fully unlock the potential of these developments while recognizing the potential issues. In this way, we must work together for a new era of mental health care that is evidence-based but also ethically sound.
