They are like human jaws in that they are used for biting.
They differ in practically every other way. Ants (like other typical insects) have four jaws each (two mandibles, two maxillae); the jaws are not made of bone inside and flesh outside, but flesh inside and the hard part (a sort of concrete of sclerotin and chitin) outside.
Ant jaws don't have separate teeth, but have serrations (saw-like pointy bits).
Their jaws work from side to side instead of up and down.
Their jaws are smaller in absolute terms because ants are smaller than humans, but usually larger in relative terms (a human with jaws like a bulldog ant would look like a crocodile).
It is not easy to think of ways in which they are alike.
Ants use their mandibles, legs, and bodies to move dirt. They can use their mandibles to grab and carry small particles of soil, their legs to push and compact the dirt, and their bodies to create tunnels and chambers within the soil.

Army ants have very powerful jaws that they use when they are invading. In a group they can overrun large prey just by biting their way through. They definitely bite!
Ants are able to carry heavy loads because they have strong muscles relative to their body size, allowing them to lift objects many times their weight. Additionally, they use teamwork and coordination to share the weight of the load among multiple ants, making it easier to transport. Ants also have specialized body structures, such as strong jaws and legs, that aid in carrying heavy objects.
Ants use their antennae to sense their environment. They can detect chemical trails left by other ants, communicate with each other through pheromones, and navigate their surroundings by detecting obstacles and food sources.
Ants employ their jaws (mandibles) mostly for carrying food back to the nest and in it's defense .

Interestingly enough the Incas used the jaws of ants as stitches.

to eat you scients have talk to ants and they say that when they eat you they say YUMM YOU WERE VERY VERY VERY GOOD :)
The main weapons of all the army ants are their jaws, especially the very large jaws of the major soldiers. There are several subfamilies of army ants, and some of subfamilies have stings as well. Some of the African army ants do not have stings and others do. The American army ants (Eciton) all have stings.
All the way in the front. On the head section.

Ants carry things by using their strong jaws and mandibles to grasp and lift objects. They also use their bodies to form chains or lines to pass objects along to their nest. Additionally, some ants have specialized adaptations, such as sticky pads on their feet or enlarged heads for carrying larger items.
The way in which ants dig their holes in the ground is by picking up soil in their mouth, holding it between their jaws and then depositing it in a heap out of the way. Ants don't eat or swallow the soil and it is usually the worker ants in the colony that dig holes.
