The scientific achievements of the last decades and especially information and communication technologies have radically changed the way in which people relate to each other, inform each other, produce content and inhabit the world.

We watch videos of smart homes with appliances commanded from an app, we love zooms, we are active on the networks, we happily receive messages from the bot that invites us to get vaccinated, and we meekly accept the next series suggested by the platform's algorithm. streaming.

If our pocket allows it, we buy the latest device to be at the forefront of technologies and take advantage of everything.

On the other hand, almost schizophrenicly, we identify with alarmist voices that sound as forceful as the enthusiasm with which we embrace advances.

It is said that the metaverse is going to make meeting with other humans disappear, that boys and girls are zombies who speak only with their devices, and that artificial intelligence will replace human jobs, even those of the highest hierarchy.

Resistance to the new always existed: Plato already said that writing denigrated the quality of oral teaching because memory was not stimulated.

That is why it is necessary that each advance implies a questioning in itself and how we are willing to include it in our lives.

Thinking for what, who benefits who loses, for what purpose is an obligatory exercise so as not to be submissive lambs that consume everything that is offered.

In recent weeks, the new development “GPT chat” has flooded the media.

It is a system that responds by emulating the human response, with surprising quality, creativity and speed: it can do everything from a monographic work to a medical diagnosis. Without a doubt, it is another of the revolutions that will mark all of humanity.

What will education systems do?

Will the use of this type of application in the classroom be prohibited, for example?

And the evaluations, how will they be?

If the Internet and devices were revolutionary, this is an even bigger turning point: How will we know if a job was done by the student or by artificial intelligence?

And if it was done with the help of artificial intelligence, will the answer be valid?

I think again about the revolution that we have at the door and what will be the role of educators from now on;

to deny these advances will be to cover the sun with the hand.

It remains for us, as always, to promote a critical look, build collective values, teach discernment, sustain the avidity for knowledge.

Generate alternative educational practices that enrich the teaching-learning process: without discrediting the path traveled.

The challenge will be to create new proposals (class, evaluation) that include the news without discrediting the experience.

Let's take this new challenge as an opportunity to generate alternative pedagogical practices.

Let us accompany our students so that they can navigate a world in constant change, who are critical and have the ability to discern based on values ​​of justice, equity, inclusion, respect for others and for themselves.

Let's appropriate technological advances, let's not let them engulf us.
