How Generative AI Will Change The Jobs Of Teachers
No job is more important than educating young minds, and no AI will ever replace a great teacher. However, educators are already using generative AI to help with creative tasks or automate routine aspects of their work. This frees up more time for the really important jobs, like spending time with students.
With generative AI poised to transform every profession, understanding the impact it will have on our day-to-day working lives, the opportunities it creates for innovation and improvement, and, of course, the potential risks is critical for everyone.
So, I thought it would be a good idea to put together a series of quick guides to how different jobs and professions will likely change, starting with teaching.
Here, I‘ll overview some of how generative AI is already being used to augment the irreplaceable human skills needed in education. We’ll also take a peek into the future to think about how the fundamental role of the teacher will evolve thanks to the impact of this technology.
Augmenting Teaching Skills
In late 2023, the UK government examined how generative AI is being used in education through a call for evidence.
After speaking to teachers, they found that most reported that they were already using generative AI tools in their jobs or had experimented with them. Those who used them said that benefits included saving time, improving the quality of their teaching, and improving engagement with students.
