  It just feels like this is a huge social experiment done without our consent.

  One of the most important aspects in ensuring children learn is the teacher. Not the ability to be a vehicle for content distribution, but for forming connections with students at an emotional level. Humans are social beings. We need to communicate, collaborate and interact with other humans. Teachers roles will change, but they won't be replaced.

  We&apos;ve gone from preschool-level AI in 2019 to PhD-level capabilities by 2025 — so the question of whether AI can replace teachers isn&apos;t really up for debate anymore. It clearly can, and it likely will.<br><br>The real debate is whether we should allow AI to teach children — and if so, what should it be teaching? Math? AI can handle it. Coding? AI. Physics? Same story. English might be the only subject where the impact will be minimal.<br><br>But what truly worries me is the future of our children. Will they even have jobs 20 years from now? Why would a company hire a human if AI can do the same work faster, cheaper, and without rest? That’s the conversation we urgently need to have — before we run out of time.

  One of the main job of teachers was to teach kids how to be ethical, honest humans and also nurture critical thinking. By replacing teachers with AI, would we be making lots of Psychopaths as AI or technology donot have any ethic!<br>Think about microbiology and penicillin vs physics and atom bomb or biological weapons!<br><br>Reminds me first movie ROBOCOP <br>What happened at the first unveiling of prototype

  It&apos;s not just replacing the teachers, but it&apos;ll replace every single occupation.

  What’s happening is outrageous. The irony is that people are still dying in Spain—in factories and from agricultural injuries, even while working in fridges. Meanwhile, I’m in Ukraine, earning just $2 an hour as a teacher. I can’t find better-paid work because IT companies, with their mass targeting, scoop up all the prospective students. And while doing what I love—for crumbs—on their platform, I’m essentially teaching their machines.<br><br>What outrages me most is that these machines, which create curriculums, games, and content, are so flawed. And I see the mistakes they make.

  So imagine a classroom of students with this glowing AI robot head sitting on each desk as their individual teacher. And then imagine the adult/babysitter trying to make that classroom function. The utter chaos and noise of it. Having to fix the broken ones. Keep the students in line. It’s a nightmare. Kids don’t even listen to one teacher. Not to mention assuming the robot is giving accurate information. The result it kids learning to delegate their thinking to AI.

  Once the kids aren’t curious anymore, you’ll need a human to set the class rules and follow those rules, maintain those rules needed for learning.
