There isn’t a day that goes by without another pitch in my inbox describing the many ways AI is changing education. They come from students, parents, teachers — and inevitably, from companies that stand to make a lot of money from the latest tools and technology.
That’s why I hope you will read this clear-eyed, well-reported piece by Chris Berdik, which takes you inside the debate about AI’s most effective roles in helping students learn. He also addresses which aspects of teaching should “remain indelibly human no matter how powerful AI becomes.”
We’ll have a Q and A with Chris in this week’s Future of Learning newsletter, so please sign up for that newsletter to get it delivered straight to your inbox. And you can see all of our coverage of artificial intelligence, as well as pieces on this topic on our opinion pages. As always, we love to hear from our human readers, so please get in touch. We rely on people like you to support our nonprofit newsroom. Please donate today to become a member.
Even techno optimists hesitate to say teaching is best left to the bots, but there’s a debate about where to draw the line
