AI in Education: Blessing or Growing Concern?

Artificial intelligence is a wonderful tool that has transformed the ways things are done around the world. Even in the education sector, artificial intelligence has made searching for information more effortless and has also helped with researching; performing tasks and learning have become easier. And that's all thanks to the intelligent capacity of this wonderful tool. However, despite the amazing features artificial intelligence has and its impact on education, some people still can't help but be concerned about the overall dependency people are having on it and the danger such dependency could breed in the near future. What do I think about this? Find out below.

Personally, I think artificial intelligence is performing a great job and is improving lives and also improving service delivery with its effective capabilities. That reason is a good introduction that's here to stay because it's a blessing to our generation, and previous generations would have died to have such a tool because with it they would have been able to create more innovative stuff than they did. Imagine Albert Einstein and other great innovators had such tools at their fingertips in their time; they would have definitely completed the innovation they did in time and had enough time to delve into more because of the vast information that artificial intelligence will present to them.

Yes, I recognize the fact that some students have misunderstood and abused how they use artificial intelligence, making it their sole go-to place to get problems, assignments, and the like done. This, of course, brings about laziness. But then I believe if we teach students the positive ways of making use of artificial intelligence as a tool and not as an assignment doer, we'll be able to get the best out of it. There's more art programming Togen has to offer than answering petty questions; we can learn a lot from it, from programming to video editing, amongst many other skills, to name but a few.

I've used artificial intelligence during my studies, and it's mostly to get a more detailed explanation or have it break down the explanation to my level so I can understand such topics better and be able to comprehend what each topic or explanation actually means and not just cram big grammar in my head without questions about what they actually mean or do. So AI programming intelligence should be used to broaden our understanding, not just for a few. Solve what we want to without us trying to put in creative input that improves our knowledge.
