Keywords: Artificial Intelligence, AI in Schools, Greek Secondary Education Incorporating AI into Secondary Education The integration of artificial intelligence in secondary education has gained popularity due to its practical and comprehensive nature. AI education in primary and secondary schools reflects the popularization of AI education and can effectively cultivate students' comprehensive thinking quality (Zhao et al., 2022). With the advancement of technology and the increasing integration of information technology into various educational sectors, artificial intelligence has emerged as a valuable tool in optimizing secondary school education, specifically in the field of English teaching (Li, 2017). The use of AI in secondary education, specifically in Greek schools, holds great potential for enhancing the English teaching environment. Through the integration of AI technology, educators can create intelligent and personalized teaching environments that cater to the individual needs and learning styles of students (Zhao et al., 2022). With the advancement of information technology and English curriculum integration, artificial intelligence has provided a new platform for the creation of an intelligent and personalized English teaching environment (Ding et al., 2021). Challenges in Implementing AI in Education Despite the potential benefits of incorporating artificial intelligence in secondary education, there are several challenges that need to be addressed in order to effectively implement AI in Greek schools. One challenge is the proper training and professional development of teachers to effectively use AI tools in their teaching practices (Zhao et al., 2022). Teachers need to be equipped with the necessary knowledge and skills to properly integrate AI technology into their teaching, as well as navigate any potential ethical or privacy concerns that may arise. Additionally, financial constraints may hinder the widespread implementation of AI in Greek schools. The cost of AI technology and infrastructure may be a barrier for many schools, especially those in economically disadvantaged areas (Tran et al., 2019).

However, the pedagogical benefits and impact of AI in education on a larger scale are still unclear for teachers (al-Zyoud, 2020). The integration of modern educational technologies, such as artificial intelligence, has been a crucial topic for educators and researchers in Greece (Hao, 2022). Integrating AI in Greek secondary schools can provide a new platform for the creation of an intelligent and personalized English teaching environment. With the integration of information technology and the English curriculum, artificial intelligence serves as a tool for optimizing secondary school English teaching (Li, 2017). By incorporating AI in Greek secondary schools, teachers can use intelligent systems to provide personalized feedback and guidance to students, enhancing their learning experience (Hu, 2022). Furthermore, the use of AI in Greek secondary schools can facilitate more efficient and effective English writing instruction. By incorporating AI technology, teachers can provide students with organized support in improving their English writing skills (Hsu et al., 2021). Case Studies: Successful AI Implementation in Greek Schools One successful case study of AI implementation in Greek secondary schools is the use of AI-powered language learning platforms that create an intelligent and personalized English teaching environment for students (Song & Shen, 2022). These platforms utilize AI technology to optimize English language teaching and provide students with tailored learning experiences. By integrating information technology and English curriculum, artificial intelligence serves as a tool for the optimization of secondary school English teaching in Greek schools (Li, 2017). Another case study in Greek secondary schools is the use of AI-powered learning analytics systems. These systems analyze student data to track behaviors, attendance, and assignments. This information allows educators to gain insights into student progress and customize their teaching strategies accordingly (Alshanqiti & Namoun, 2020). Implications and Future of AI in Greek Secondary Education The use of AI in Greek secondary education has significant implications for the future of teaching and learning. By harnessing AI technology, Greek schools have the potential to enhance teaching effectiveness and student engagement. Furthermore, the use of AI can provide personalized learning experiences for students, allowing them to learn at their own pace and in a way that suits their individual learning needs and preferences (Zhai et al., 2021). However, it is important to approach the use of AI in secondary education with careful consideration. Review and Recommendations for AI Integration in Greek Schools In reviewing the integration of AI in Greek secondary education, it is clear that there are both benefits and challenges to consider. The benefits of AI integration in Greek schools include the potential for personalized and adaptive learning experiences, increased efficiency in administrative tasks, and improved student outcomes (Bachmann et al., 2022). However, challenges such as teacher training and professional development, financial constraints, and ethical considerations need to be addressed for successful implementation. To effectively integrate AI into Greek secondary education, it is crucial to provide comprehensive teacher training and professional development programs (Greek Teacher Professional Development Project).
