In the art world, this rise in AI is similar to the huge impact photography had on painting. At the time of the invention of the camera, the mid 1800’s, there was this panic that painting would now be dead, because the camera could a capture images of the world quicker and more clearly. Instead, artists pushed the boundaries of paint to do what camera’s couldn’t and began using photography as a tool to help with other mediums. I believe this will happen in industry and life with AI as well, after the initial panic subsides. There will be setbacks, like certain jobs begin replaced by AI, but new roles will be created.
As educators we have to find ways to harness AI to guide and enhance learning. We are at a point where AI doesn’t have the motivation or desires that humans do behind these tasks. We can use that “power” influence what AI does. Our role as educators is to help students understand what AI is and how it can be used to help them learn, versus avoid actual learning.
