        abstract = {Due to the growing trend of integrating AI-based Adaptive Learning (AL) into education, and its role within the broader landscape of influence of Artificial Intelligence (AI) on education, study in this paper highlights its numerous advantages for students and educators both. However, concerns persist regarding the potential displacement of teachers by AI driven applications. Present work examines the impact of this scenario on academic performance of students, their mental well-being, along with the comparison of this scenario with unique qualities of human educators. To address these concerns, a survey was also conducted to understand students' perspectives on the integration of AI-based AL in education. This study also highlights the importance of addressing the challenges that come with introducing AL, as it could widen educational gaps. The goal is to advocate for a collaborative relationship of AI and teachers in education. Arguments are provided that while AI can enhance educational practices, it cannot completely replace the diverse roles and empathetic interactions provided by human teachers. Present work proposes a future for AI in education that embraces a collaborative approach, using technology to complement and enhance rather than replace the invaluable contributions of human educators. The proposed work has been given strong support based on the study and results given in this paper.},
