As veteran educator, I could not agree more. I was in an interview with someone about 15 years older than me who was praising AI and saying we should be using it now to sit by students. When everyone in the room agreed, I thought I didn’t want to work there anyway because of this mindless praise of AI - I launched into why they were wrong! Needless to say, I didn’t get the job but as I said, after they thought AI was “absolutely the best thing that could happen to education,” I didn’t want to work there, anymore.
We have a population in the US than exhibit an alarming lack of critical thinking. I can’t even imagine what the next generation will be like, if AI allowed to be used! What will human thought become? I shudder to think of it.
Thank you for telling us about Norway’s stand on AI. Good for them! I wish we could just unplug it!
Appreciate everyone taking the time to share their thoughts on this one. I am genuinely curious to see how people are feeling about AI in schools?
Important move. A child must first learn to think for themselves, to research, to explore and not have information handed to them.
Agreed. Pen , paper and books are best. I’m against AI generally…..it’s applications for medical advances are however a good idea. 👨✈️
