Abstract
The 21st-century educational landscape has undergone a significant transformation due to rapid technological advancements, particularly in the field of Artificial Intelligence (AI). Social studies and civic education, traditionally delivered through conventional pedagogies, are now poised for innovation through AI-driven tools. This article examines the role of AI in enhancing curriculum implementation in social studies and civic education, including personalized learning, critical thinking, assessment, civic engagement, and digital citizenship. It also explores challenges such as ethical concerns, digital inequality, and teacher readiness. The paper also recommends, among others, that governments and institutions should address infrastructure gaps to prevent digital exclusion.
