  • Artificial Intelligence (AI) is a relatively newcomer in the arena of human cognition and more specifically within the science of computation. It has to do with cognitive and intellectual capacities which are expressed by means of informatics systems or algorithmic combinations, whose main aim is, the creation of machines that may imitate human intelligence for developing tasks, which can be improved as they accumulate data. Since, AI was founded in 1956 as an academic discipline; it has many followers and detractors. Those that are fearful of AI presume, it can replace human intelligence all over, by imitating human thought. They base their criticism on the fact that there are people, who have created sophisticated applications that can endanger human existence, sabotage personal privacy, and in the end, become slaves of machines. Nevertheless, little by little AI is gaining more acceptances in many fields, like: medicine, education, sports, and scientific events with translation and interpretation services, etc. Thus, English language teaching has incorporated AI tools with multiple cycles of optimism, and disappointment. Yet, as science develops, AI in EFLT gains more interest and research works are carried out to facilitate teaching and learning, leaving behind the traditional forms. Today, AI revolutionizes EFLT, which includes reasoning, knowledge representation, planning, natural language processing, perception, and support for robotics, with adequate use of ethic norms. The objective of this paper is to throw light on the controversies around AI in EFLT and update its community about the advantages and risks about its implementation in modern times.
