Nowadays, technology is advancing and being integrated in various sectors, impacting human lives in many ways. AI can be integrated into EFL, leading to the introduction of a dynamic realm with profound ethical and pedagogical dimensions. The current study focuses on the interaction between EFL education and AI technologies by analyzing the obstacles and opportunities that might emerge. Pedagogically, AI has multiple advantages to any EFL education setting, which include targeted feedback, automated grading, and personalization of learning experiences, especially for learners with disabilities. However, the use of AI leads to some concerns, including the exclusion of the chance for learning to engage in creative and critical thinking. It is also associated with the possible dehumanization of the learning process and biases that might result from the use of AI software.
