AI technology has the potential to nurture the skills necessary for students to navigate and actively contribute to the evolving future. As suggested by Dr. Kathy Hirsh-Pasek and Elias Blinkoff, tools like ChatGPT can serve as facilitators of critical thinking when leveraged in a nuanced manner, enabling deeper and more immersive learning experiences.
Vriti Saraf, the CEO and founder of K20 Educators in New York, shares a similar perspective: "Reducing the reliance of students on educators as the primary source of knowledge allows educators to concentrate on cultivating skills such as curation, guidance, critical assessment of learning, and the acquisition of abilities that surpass the mere memorization of information."
Quim Sabría, a former educator from Barcelona, Spain, and co-founder of Edpuzzle, believes that AI has the potential to enhance teacher productivity in various aspects, including lesson planning, differentiation, grading, feedback provision, teacher-parent communication, and professional development.
Across Lagos, Nigeria, educators are increasingly recognizing the efficiency and convenience that AI can bring to their profession. Oluwaseun Kayode, who previously taught in Lagos and founded Schoolinka, has observed a growing number of teachers from West Africa using AI to assess children's literacy levels, identify areas where students require additional support, and enrich personalized learning experiences.
In the state of Illinois, United States, a similar trend is emerging. Diego Marin, an 8th-grade math instructor, compares ChatGPT to a "personalized 1:1 tutor that offers significant value to students."
