Artificial intelligence in schools: chance or endangerment for creativity?

Artificial intelligence in schools: chance or endangerment for creativity?

Offenburg, Deutschland - The use of artificial intelligence (AI) in schools is hotly discussed because it entails both opportunities and challenges. Teachers and educational experts see a changed learning culture in the use of AI, for example for the creation of presentations or in homework. High school teacher Bob Blume emphasizes that the ignoring of AI would be negligent in the digital age. According to him, AI could serve as a helpful tool in class to relieve the teachers and promote students in their creativity. In his new book "Why still learn? As schools in times of AI, crises and social injustice must look", Blume describes the need to integrate artificial intelligence in the education system, since the world is increasingly shaped by this technology, like the Aachener Zeitung reported.

Both sides agree that schools have to deal with these technological changes. Measures such as a smartphone ban in schools that have already been introduced in other European countries could help keep the students away from distractions and to promote concentration on learning. The current debate shows that a balancing act between the use of AI and the promotion of traditional learning methods is necessary to make education sustainable.
