AI – what about the students?

For the children starting school now, artificial intelligence will be the natural thing, and it will not seem strange to them to consult a machine and trust its advice, to stay with it at all hours of the day and treat it like a close friend.

After reading dozens of articles (just this month) on the topic of artificial intelligence in education, it is clear to everyone that the teachers and the education system will do everything to curb the use of artificial intelligence, and the students will find ways to use it. In this post I will try to predict what the student will look like in a few years.

There is a good chance that in less than ten years “smart glasses” (or something similar) will replace smartphones. The glasses will “see and hear” everything that the person wearing them sees and hears, they will “understand” the situation he is in and based on this they will be able to give him advice/answers. For example, a child reaches the road, looks left and right and the glasses tell him whether he can cross the road. A teacher asks a student in class a question and the glasses whisper the answer to him. A boy does not know whether to approach a girl and will consult his glasses.

In addition, the glasses will have augmented reality capability, that is, an additional layer of data is placed on top of the reality. For example, a student learns about the time of King David, when he walks down the street all the people are dressed as they were in the biblical days, speak in a biblical language, and the environment looks accordingly (every bus looks like donkey).

Later the student will be able to think to the glasses, instead of saying out loud “call Ronnie”, he will think it and the glasses will call. Imagine a class that communicates over the teacher’s head during a lesson 😊.

What will happen to the student? Will he turn into a zombie who cannot be disconnected from the devices as the level of excitement in them increases or will he, with the help of technology, find a personal interest in certain topics (sparks) that will match his abilities and develop curiosity and creativity? The solutions are with God.

I will give an example of a possible scenario. Artificial intelligence is capable of producing video and computer games on any subject. The video is adapted to the student, his interests, his abilities and his learning style. Virtual reality integrates into reality and surrounds the student at all hours of the day.

Let’s say we are learning about World War II. Student A loves strategy games – the system prepares a game in which the student replaces General Patton during the invasion of Normandy; student B is interested in physics and is stationed at Los Alamos in the Manhattan Project and helps in the development of the atom; student C is interested in computers and is stationed at Bletchley Park in the Enigma project and helps Turing build the device; student D is interested in green ecology, and examining the effects of the war on the ecology of Europe; student E loves sports and he will replace Hitler in the Olympics in Germany…

And the teacher? Since there is a good chance that he does not understand it all – strategy and physics, computers, ecology and sports (he is a history teacher after all), his job is to include everything, to give the big picture, to help with historical analysis and historical truth, to connect students whose subjects overlap, and so on.

For the sake of the experiment, I asked ChatGPT to write a play in which General Patton and a student who serves as his deputy during D day take part – and I was surprised by the result (try it too).
