The Human and AI in Law and Social Science Education: Navigating the Future of Critical Expression and Critical Thinking
Review Article Multidisciplinary

Abstract

As artificial intelligence (AI) increasingly permeates educational systems, its integration into law and social science education raises urgent questions about the preservation and evolution of critical expression and critical thinking. This article explores the complex and evolving relationship between human intellectual agency and AI in academic contexts, focusing on how these technologies reshape pedagogical practice, assessment, epistemology, and academic freedom. Drawing on interdisciplinary literature, the article examines both the potential and the perils of AI-enhanced learning, particularly within fields that prioritize ethical reasoning, civic engagement, and democratic values. The article concludes with strategic recommendations for educators, institutions, and policymakers, advocating for inclusive, transparent, and justiceoriented approaches to AI integration in legal and social science education.

Keywords
