        abstract = {The rapid integration of Artificial Intelligence (AI) into educational systems has transformed teaching, learning, assessment, and academic administration. While AI-driven tools offer efficiency and personalized learning, they raise serious ethical concerns related to human values in education. This paper identifies the core research problem of value erosion caused by excessive reliance on algorithmic decision-making in education. The study adopts a qualitative, analytical research methodology based on secondary sources such as policy documents, scholarly articles, and ethical frameworks. It examines issues of responsibility, fairness, transparency, data privacy, and human agency. The paper argues that education is fundamentally a value-driven process rooted in empathy, inclusivity, and moral development. Unchecked use of AI risks reducing learners to data points, marginalizing creativity, emotional intelligence, and ethical judgment. The study emphasizes the shared responsibility of educators, institutions, policymakers, and technology developers in ensuring ethical AI implementation. It concludes that a value-centered framework with human oversight is essential to align educational AI with the moral objectives of education.},
