Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies are being applied commonly in all aspects of life. Education is one of the leading areas in this respect. AI applications offer significant opportunities for students, educators and education administrators. Students can benefit from these technologies for individualized education and addressing their deficiencies. A similar situation applies to educators. However, students are the most vulnerable group to the current and long-term risks posed by these technologies. While students fulfill a significant part of their responsibilities through the opportunities provided by AI technologies, they face two options: succeeding through ethical violations or addressing their deficiencies ethically. Students lacking AI ethical literacy often choose the first option, masking their failures and getting involved in ethical violations that will bring heavy burdens in the long run. This study discusses the benefits offered by AI technologies in education and the problems they cause in the context of measurement and evaluation. AI will have an important place in the measurement and evaluation as an auxiliary tool in producing texts, creating questions using the produced texts, scoring open-ended exams, solving problems and creating research reports in accordance with ethical rules. It is highlighted that developing AI technologies in education with a participatory approach involving all educational stakeholders and continuously monitoring potential risks during the implementation phase are crucial for establishing a responsible AI culture in education. Finally, considering the dramatic pace of developments in AI, the importance of dynamically updating the measures against ethical violations at the same pace is emphasized.
