In an article by the Asian Journal of Distance Education, many different contributors explore the significance of AI in primarily education roles, and how this new technology can further influence day to day practices. The lengthy article in written within the bounds of Artificial Intelligence in Education, where AI in education is analyzed in both a serious and hypothetical manner to ensure the proper use of the tools. The article explores different applications of AI in education, such as AI helping students learn, AI helping teachers do their jobs more efficiently, and the potential of AI fully teaching different subjects without human intervention. The article also has an emphasis on the ethical use of AI, acknowledging that misuse and potential inaccuracies of AI that can cause bad results.
From all the things explored in this article, I believe that the most interesting to me is finding a balance between human and AI while in a classroom setting. In my personal experience, having a teacher with a welcoming and supportive personality helps me further be able to confidently learn. I believe that this is part of the debate, as I believe you will always need a teacher in the classroom on a personal level, to help guide and emphasize with students. On the other hand, I definitely believe that there are some aspects of classroom teaching that could be automated. For example, I believe that once AIs can become advanced enough, they should definitely be implement in to help with grading. I believe this would benefit both students and teachers, as teachers have aleviated stress of marking out of their worries and students are able to receive their grades in a more efficient manner.
After reading my blog post and the article by Asian Journal of Distance Education, I invite you to share your thoughts. What type of balance do you believe should be formulated between person and AI in the classroom? Do you believe that AI in the classroom is more harmful than beneficial? Let me know!
