Are AI tools posing a challenge to human educators?

According to a 2023 Walton Family Foundation survey, 71% of teachers and 65% of students already agree that AI tools will be essential for students’ success in college and the workplace. The next five years will be decisive in this journey. Educational institutions need to invest in both AI infrastructure and teacher training, making sure that educators are comfortable using these tools to improve their teaching rather than feeling threatened by them. Forward-thinking schools are already establishing AI competency programmes for teachers, focusing on how to effectively integrate tools like adaptive learning platforms and GenAI into their teaching practice.

While AI is a very powerful tool that can help in personalizing content for students, the role of teachers and educators is more than that. Teachers are not only a medium to provide knowledge, rather they are ‘gurus’ who teach students the way to live life, adapt to new situations and create future citizens of the world. How much can AI contribute to this yet needs to be discovered? 

Future of AI in education

As per a report by the World Economic Forum,  the global AI in the education market is expected to grow from $5.18 billion in 2024 to $112.3 billion by 2034. AI provides adaptive learning platforms that can help personalize content for students based on their learning levels, preferences and interests. Moreover, AI assistants also help teachers work more efficiently. Thus, educators and technologists must work together to create a new educational structure where AI and human teachers operate as true partners. This vision sees teachers evolving into “learning architects” who provide sophisticated educational experiences by using AI tools while maintaining their role as mentors and guides.
