The answer to this question depends on the type of Artificial Intelligence chosen and to what extent the same is being used in education and that too for what type of students the same is meant for
Anu Sasidharan
Middle childhood or primary education from (6-12) years
How will we employ AI in teaching students belonging to such a young age?

I mean teaching them with some smart software? As AR... Isn't that ?
How will this software help them in betterment of their learning skills? As far as students or learners are concerned, we as faculty members or teachers are supposed to equip them to be life long learner (professional courses mostly) or enable them to acquire learning skills or learn a new concept (at a cognitive and psychomotor level)
I was wondering how would the smart software mentioned by you would aid in the same. In my case my learners are doing bachelor's degree in medicine - they use search engines to retrieve articles or information. But unfortunately they misuse AI softwares to solve the PBL scenarios I provide to them - Problem Based Learning. The learners are supposed to solve these problems by finding the answers - as in a history of a patient with his or her symptoms are given - learners are supposed to peruse resources and find the solution as to the diagnosis, treatment and management. Here search engines can be used to get resources - instead to my disappointment at least a major portion of the students feed the problem to an AI and come to me with the solution what the AI has solved for them - this is defeating the purpose of the learners applying their presence of mind or their application skills with diligence.
So you got the disadvantage! I am waiting for advantages, in case anyone can come up with something

It may be related to some health symptoms related to radiation resulting from the excessive use of smart devices, for example.
What is your opinion?
The electromagnetic fields produced by smart devices at home or work is very low or the cumulative effects of multiple devices at home are not very significant as per a paper published in 2024 May 45(4) Bioelectromagnetics with doing: 10.1002/bem.22492
Other than the one disadvantage I mentioned I am not sure if there are any other disadvantages per se
