Artificial intelligence in schools: opportunity or threat to creativity?
The use of artificial intelligence (AI) in schools is hotly debated as it brings both opportunities and challenges. Teachers and education experts see the use of AI, for example for creating presentations or homework, as changing the culture of learning. High school teacher Bob Blume emphasizes that ignoring AI in the digital age would be negligent. According to him, AI could serve as a helpful tool in teaching to relieve teachers and encourage students' creativity. In his new book "Why still learn? What schools must look like in times of AI, crises and social injustice" Blume describes the need to integrate artificial intelligence into the education system as the world is increasingly shaped by this technology Aachen newspaper reported.
In contrast, educational researcher Ralf Lankau expresses deep concerns about the role of AI in teaching. He warns that the convenience promoted by AI could make both students and teachers sluggish and that it could lead to a decrease in motivation among young people. Lankau describes the use of AI bots as worrying because they could endanger students' creative thinking. In the introduction, he notes that AI can be used sensibly to sharpen students' judgment skills, but in order to avoid the risk of dependence on technical systems, he calls for a rethinking of digitalization in schools. Those too WDR cultural news support Lankau's opinion that AI, if used indiscriminately at the moment, could endanger students' creativity.
However, both sides agree that schools must deal with these technological changes. Measures such as a ban on smartphones in schools, already introduced in other European countries, could help keep students away from distractions and encourage concentration on learning. The current debate shows that a balancing act is necessary between the use of AI and the promotion of traditional learning methods in order to make education fit for the future.
