Abstract The rapid integration of artificial intelligence (AI) in education has transformed traditional approaches to teaching and learning, raising critical questions about the balance between human cognition and technological support. This study rethinks education in the AI era by examining the interplay between factual understanding and AI support in fostering future-ready learning. Grounded in cognitive load theory and self-regulated learning perspectives, the paper proposes a conceptual framework in which factual understanding and AI support jointly influence learning outcomes, mediated by cognitive engagement and self-regulation. While AI enhances efficiency, accessibility, and personalized learning, excessive reliance may lead to superficial learning, reduced critical thinking, and diminished academic authenticity. Conversely, strong factual understanding enables learners to critically evaluate AI-generated information and engage in deeper learning processes. The study highlights the importance of achieving a balanced integration of human and artificial intelligence to promote meaningful and sustainable learning. The findings have significant implications for educators, policymakers, and curriculum designers, emphasizing the need to develop pedagogical strategies, AI literacy, and ethical guidelines that support responsible AI use. Ultimately, the paper contributes to the growing discourse on human–AI collaboration in education and offers a framework for preparing learners for an increasingly complex digital future.
