AI and Education: What we risk when AI becomes the teacher

AI’s advance has raised questions on how we educate and, more fundamentally, how we value education itself. As intelligence becomes increasingly abstracted from humans, we must ask whether AI is threatening the processes that make education meaningful.

Education is not merely the transfer of information, solutions, or data. It is knowledge shaped by experience and interpretation. A teacher’s knowledge is situated in their own perspective, and students encounter not just content, but a way of knowing.

I explore how AI’s value lies in its augmentation, rather than replacement, of education. It is critical that metrics don’t override experience, and that convenience does not overtake struggle. My work focuses on the ethical questions at the intersection of AI, intelligence, and education.
