To carry out the research, a qualitative methodology was adopted supported by a literature review. With support from the documents found, the benefits and potentialities were analyzed, reflecting on the ethical implications of the application of AI in education, with emphasis on privacy, data security and ethics. We discussed the findings related to the potential and challenges of applying AI and how it can play a key role in analyzing data on learners’ performance and preferences, providing immediate feedback, personalized recommendations and complementary activities. Research suggests that AI in education has the potential to improve the equity, quality and reach of education, however, it is necessary to face challenges, such as ensuring the ethical use of AI, accessibility for all students, data protection and privacy. In Cape Verde, AI can be a powerful tool to mitigate socio-economic and geographical challenges, providing a more balanced and equal education across all islands. However, the challenges of access to high-speed internet and the quality of services provided by utilities can be real challenges to overcome.engArtificial intelligenceCape VerdeDigital technologiesEducationTeaching-learning processconference object10.1007/978-981-99-9765-7_43
