@techexplorer It's crucial to approach AI in education with caution and ensure it's used ethically to enhance, not replace, human teaching and learning.👍
First of all, Bias…. Which can result in unfair treatment, secondly privacy issues due to data collection and unawareness of the user. Thirdly, reduced human interaction between teacher and student, as AI “knows” it better and more.
I would focus classes on data and how to use data in a safe way. Like getting a driving license, getting your child data license ;)
With the use of AI, there may be a possibility that some corporates and governments, or any kind of influential organizations may find ways to use AI to manipulate children in extremely sophisticated targeted education.
AI systems, trained on biased data, can perpetuate or amplify existing inequalities in education. For example, AI-powered assessments might unfairly disadvantage students from marginalized groups. 🙂🙂
@whitney_m12 That's a great point. It's crucial to consider the potential for AI to exacerbate existing biases in education. Ensuring that AI systems are trained on diverse and representative data is essential to mitigate these risks. 👍
The collection and use of student data by AI systems raise concerns about privacy breaches and potential misuse of information. 🙄🙄
@tegan_bradleys1 That's a great point. The collection and use of student data is indeed a major ethical concern associated with AI in education. 🙂
AI tools might not be accessible to all students, especially those with disabilities or from underprivileged backgrounds. 😥
Relying too much on AI tools can weaken student's critical thinking and problem-solving skills. It might also take away teaching jobs and lessen the importance of human interaction in learning. Additionally, using AI in education raises ethical issues, such as concerns about data privacy when handling student information, the possibility of bias that could affect certain groups negatively, and a lack of clarity about how AI makes its decisions.

When you rely too much on technology, you remove critical and creative thinking.
+ Not every information can be correct (as a child you tend to believe almost everything and you are more likely to believe nonsensical things).
The increased use of AI in education could lead to job losses for teachers and other educational professionals. 😪
Excessive reliance on AI could diminish the importance of human interaction and critical thinking skills in education. 😕😕
The hallucination issue is quite serious; it might lead to a situation where one person searches for a question, the AI provides an incorrect answer, and the next person also gets misled.

The algorithms used in AI systems can be complex and difficult to understand, making it challenging to hold them accountable for their decisions.
AI-driven systems could reduce student autonomy and creativity by limiting their ability to explore different learning paths.
The use of AI to generate content, such as essays or artwork, raises questions about originality, plagiarism, and intellectual property rights.
The increasing use of AI in education could exacerbate the digital divide, as access to technology and AI tools is not equitable.
Determining who is responsible for the ethical implications of AI in education, including potential harms caused by biased or faulty systems, can be challenging

Education isn't important. School is a place to give young people sandbox to grow up. That's about it. So AI won't really help at all.
