How close are we to the day when artificial intelligence will replace teachers? Why do we have to integrate AI into our education system? And what should be careful?

About two weeks ago, the book "Creating something wonderful: Steve Jobs in his own words" was published, which collected various contents that Jobs wrote to himself on notes, emails, etc.

With the AI ​​revolution sweeping the cards in all fields in the background, I remembered what Jobs said about the integration of AI in education, more than 10 years ago:



"

I think the greatest innovations of the 21st century will be at the intersection between biology and technology. A new era is starting, just like the digital one when I started Apple, and I think AI and machine learning will play a big role in changing education

," Jobs said at the time.

The educational vision of Steve Jobs

The role of technology in education has been a topic of discussion for decades.

Steve Jobs believed in the potential of technology to revolutionize the way we learn, and that technology can play a significant role in improving education systems and providing personalized learning experiences for students.



In Jobs' opinion, the future of education lies in personalized learning that meets the individual needs of each student, and technology is the key to achieving this goal.

Jobs saw education as fertile ground for innovation and disruption, similar to the music industry in the early days of iPods and iTunes.

He believed that technology could provide students with access to information and resources previously unavailable to them, creating a more equitable and inclusive education system.



Jobs' vision for education with AI had a significant impact on the education industry.

Today, many schools and educational programs are following in Jobs' footsteps by using artificial intelligence to enhance the learning experience.


For example, artificial intelligence can be used to analyze data about each student's learning style and pace, and provide them with personalized feedback and guidance.

This allows students to learn at their own pace and in their own way, thus improving learning outcomes.



In addition, artificial intelligence will make it possible to provide students with access to educational resources that were not available to them before, thus providing greater equality in education.

The dangers of integrating artificial intelligence in education

One of the main risks is a scenario where artificial intelligence replaces human teachers.

In the end, artificial intelligence cannot replace the human touch that teachers bring.

Therefore, the ambition is for the teachers to learn to harness the new tools to their advantage and not in their place.



Another concern that naturally arises is the security of the students' information and privacy.

Any AI software relies on the collection and analysis of large amounts of data about students, so there is a risk of data leakage and misuse.



Another danger is the perpetuation of the gaps and biases in education.

Ultimately, the AI ​​tools function based on data and commands fed to them, so if these are biased the tools will also be biased.

This could result in students from disadvantaged populations receiving fewer educational opportunities because of the biases of the AI ​​tools.

In conclusion

While the use of artificial intelligence in education has the potential to revolutionize the way we learn, there are several dangers to consider.

We as parents and educators have the duty to find a balance between the benefits and risks of technology, which advances at an unprecedented speed.

This way we can harness the power of artificial intelligence to improve the education system and provide students with customized learning experiences that meet their individual needs.
