‘AI tools increasingly automate teacher work such as lesson planning, instructional differentiation, and student grading and feedback, potentially saving teachers hours of work and improving their ability to support students. But at what point do these efficiency gains erode the deep, personalized knowledge of students and the human insights that are at the professional core of being a teacher? This question is equally relevant for children’s own learning and development.’ A new task force created by The Brookings Institution Center for Universal Education seeks to answer two key questions in their ‘pre-mortem’ on the use of AI in global education: 💡 What are the potential risks that generative AI poses to children’s education, learning, and development from early childhood through secondary school? 💡 Knowing these risks, what can we do differently today to harness the opportunities that AI offers for children’s learning and development?
