One of the many purposes of education is to facilitate students’ identity formation through various social and pedagogical processes. As Artificial intelligence (AI), and especially generative AI (GenAI), are being increasingly introduced into classrooms, this chapter looks at the potential impact they may have on these processes. We first analyze the links between education and identity, then identify three dimensions of identity formation: relational, dialectical, and agential. After a quick look at the various ways GenAI can be used in education, the chapter addresses concerns regarding the possible impact of GenAI on these three dimensions. We conclude that caution is required in order to maintain mastery of certain skills necessary not only to think critically and autonomously, but also to get a robust sense of who we are.
