What are AI teachers? Can they replace real teachers?
(Comparison of Artificial Intelligence and Human Teachers)
Introduction
These days, artificial intelligence (AI) is revolutionizing every field, and education is no exception. AI teachers, chatbots, and robotic assistants have entered schools and universities around the world. But can they replace real teachers? Or are they just a supporting tool?
In this blog, we will learn:
✔ What are AI teachers?
✔ Their advantages and limitations
✔ Performance of AI compared to human teachers
✔ Will robots replace teachers in the future?
✔ Impact of AI on the Pakistani education system
1. What are AI teachers?
AI teachers are actually artificial intelligence-based software or robots that:
teach students
answer questions
grade exams
Provide personalized learning for each student
Examples:
ChatGPT: Helps students write essays and solve questions
Century Tech: An AI-based learning platform that teaches lessons according to the abilities of each student
Pepper Robot (Japan): A robot that teaches and interacts with children in the classroom
2. Benefits of AI teachers
✔ Understand the individual needs of each student
Human teachers teach 30-40 children at a time, while AI offers content according to the learning pace of each child.
✔ Available 24/7
Students can ask AI questions at any time, while human teachers have limited working hours.
✔ Impartiality in exam screening
AI is emotionless, so it checks exam copies without bias.
✔ Cost savings
AI teachers are being tested in schools in developed countries because they can reduce teacher salary costs in the long run.
3. Limitations of AI teachers
❌ Lack of emotional understanding
Human teachers understand the emotions, worries, and psychology of students, while AI is limited in this regard.
❌ Obstacle to the development of creative skills
AI is adept at answering exercises, but skills like creative thinking, critical analysis, and group discussion can still be taught better by human teachers.
❌ Technology access issue
In countries like Pakistan, where access to the internet and digital devices is limited, it is difficult to use AI teachers.
4. Will AI teachers replace human teachers?
According to experts, AI will not completely replace teachers, but will act as an “assistant.” Reasons:
✔ There will always be a need for human emotions and guidance
✔ Moral values and social skills can only be taught by humans
✔ AI is limited to creative subjects (such as literature, art)
“AI will not make teachers unemployed, but teachers who know how to use AI will make them unemployed!”
