The world today is witnessing tremendous and astonishing developments in the field of technological sciences, changing the balance of power, especially with the emergence of what is known as "artificial intelligence." With its intelligent structure consisting of algorithms and learning programs equipped with vast and extensive information and data, and decision-making mechanisms, it has become capable of simulating and interacting with the human mind. This is achieved by infusing logic into the processes of perception, analysis, understanding, thinking, and responding to human behavior, contributing to decision-making and solving complex problems in various aspects and areas of life. Artificial intelligence has impacted an important field in society: psychology, which studies individual behavior. Psychologists have begun using it to diagnose, analyze, and predict intractable psychological conditions, helping them extract, analyze, understand, and interpret results. Artificial intelligence has also played a prominent role in education and machine learning. This intelligent technology can be harnessed to uncover some of the mysteries, based on the vast data provided in this field, educational psychology and the educational process in general. Therefore, this study aims to demonstrate the extent of the impact of artificial intelligence and its importance on the future of psychology in general, and educational psychology in particular. Based on the above, the study's problem revolves around the following questions: What is artificial intelligence? What are its most important practical applications and impacts on educational psychology?

• B.    Educational Psychology:

In this article, we try to define psychology as a basic and important variable before searching for its relationship with artificial intelligence, which makes us search for the meaning of psychology, what this science is interested in to clarify the understanding for the reader. Psychology is considered one of the sciences that deals with a group of fields and overlaps with many sciences that are concerned with the human being, such as sociology, philosophy, medicine and other sciences. Accordingly, researchers differed in finding a unified definition for this term. Therefore, psychology can be defined according to what some researchers have stated as follows:

Application of Artificial Intelligence (AI):

• -    AI Applications in Education

  Artificial intelligence has revolutionized education, from primary school to advanced levels, by providing a range of smart solutions for learning in general and selflearning in particular. This is achieved through the provision of a vast number of educational platforms, automated teaching, automated assessment, and smart administrative tasks. AI enables students to plan, organize, compare, and synthesize diverse resources, as well as create new materials such as computer programs, art, and personalized study schedules. Nonetheless, with the potential benefits of AI, there are also risks, such as students being able to bypass genuine educational experiences. Thus, educators must grapple with the question of how much AI support is considered "too much" and how to effectively teach and assess knowledge (Sandford & All, 2024, p. 5). Also Artificial intelligence, through its diverse applications, has enabled humanity to engage in self-directed learning and interact with different languages via instantaneous and accurate machine translation. This has provided the opportunity for communication with various cultures at minimal effort and cost, all with the press of a button, To understand the role that artificial intelligence plays in improving the educational process and assisting researchers in translating texts and articles, we need to highlight the most important AI systems and applications that contribute to providing instant and accurate translations from the original natural language to any language we desire.AI offers professors a valuable tool to save time on daily managerial tasks, giving them more hours to focus on teaching and student engagement. With creativity, AI can bridge gaps students, interactive learning experiences. Accordingly, we find among the applications of artificial intelligence in the field of educational psychology, to name a few:

• -    Changing the Cheating Narrative : Students often misuse AI due to time constraints, frustration, or a lack of

understanding. By reframing AI as a problem-solving tool, you can empower them to use it responsibly Faulkner University News – The Future of Learning: Positive Appli cations of AI in Education.

• -    Intelligent tutoring systems: AI tutor systems can provide adaptive, accessible learning experiences, offering immediate feedback and corrective guidance based on student performance. These applications of modern educational technology are helping to close learning gaps, improve conceptual understanding, and free up teacher time by handling routine instructional tasks and providing detailed data on the student's learning process The Role of AI in Modern Education.

• -    Application of AI in Classroom Discipline Management : In the process of college education and teaching, it is particularly critical to ensure the effectiveness of classroom discipline, and for the vast majority of college teachers, this is also a problem that they should focus on in teaching (Zheng & Tuyatsetseg , 2022, p. 76).

• -    Smart Tutor System The intelligent tutor : system is one of the adaptive learning systems. It is precisely because of the emergence of this system that the one-way instillation mode of teachers to students under the traditional teaching mode has been changed to a large extent, and better teaching results can be obtained ( Zhengyu, Yingjia , & Jinming , p. 330)

• -    Translation using ChatGPT: ChatGPT is considered one of the leading artificial intelligence tools for translation available today. It is an automated conversation system that utilizes AI and advanced natural language processing (NLP) techniques to generate textual content and respond to inquiries, leveraging a vast integrated database. https://gptinarabic.com/best-translatin-tools-with-ai/

• -    Translation of Smartling: The translation tool developed by Smartling is considered one of the leading AI-powered solutions in this field, offering exceptional cloud translation services. The tool is renowned for its advanced Translation Management System (TMS), which helps automate the content creation process efficiently. Smartling also has the capability to translate content into over 150 languages using AI technologies, https://gptinarabic.com/best-translatin-tools-with-ai/

• -    Application of AI in Security Assistance Management : Today, among many network cyber defense technologies in China, firewall technology is a relatively common defense technology. However, this method is also divided into many types, and only a few methods can play a role in practical applications (Zheng & Tuyatsetseg , 2022, p. 75) . This demonstrates that AI systems and applications in educational psychology are not limited to reducing academic stress for both teachers and students, but rather extend beyond that by developing and implementing smart methods to protect data and information by limiting the extent of security access to them using firewalltechnology .

Finally, we can note that artificial intelligence is no longer just a tool to assist humanity, but rather an important partner in developing the educational process from a psychological and educational perspective. Educational psychology has begun to utilize the latest trends through adaptive learning brought about by artificial intelligence, meaning adapting educational content to students' educational level and their psychological and cognitive needs, in addition to helping them develop their behavior and skills, such as solving complex problems and their critical thinking skills. It has also been able to help education specialists predict school dropout rates and success rates among learners, among other positives that help improve and enhance the educational process. Despite the positive opportunities that artificial intelligence has provided for educational psychology, it remains a complementary and not an alternative means for this science (educational psychology), as the human touch remains the essence of science, which smart technology cannot imitate because it is created by the Creator.
