Regarding the evolution of education, I am convinced that artificial intelligence (AI), chatbots, and other technologies are not the issue. In contrast, they are comparable to historically disruptive technologies such as television, radio, the printing press, and the computer itself. These technologies did not replace education; rather, they improved and transformed it. They compelled educators to investigate, adapt, and incorporate these advances into their instructional strategies. AI and chatbots can revolutionize how we provide and tailor education, much as the printing press made information more accessible and altered how we dispersed knowledge. They have the potential to provide highly individualized learning experiences, provide quick feedback, and provide students with support 24/7. However, their usefulness is contingent on how they are incorporated into the educational pipeline.
We are at a pivotal juncture where we must embrace the inevitable progression of education through AI or risk being passive observers while students figure it out on their own. It is comparable to a youngster who grows up without parental direction, still learning about life but lacking the crucial guidance and structure that adults can provide. As educators and education professionals, it is our duty to harness the power of AI and steer its incorporation into our educational systems. We should consider artificial intelligence as a bridge between humans and technology, not as a threat to our duties as educators. Instead of being afraid of AI, we may use it to improve our teaching methods, streamline administrative work, and place greater emphasis on personalized training.
Education will inevitably undergo a transformation due to the introduction of AI and comparable technologies. Nevertheless, this transformation need not be disruptive; it can be a catalyst for constructive change. We should urge our colleagues to embrace their imaginations and investigate inventive AI integration strategies. This may necessitate the development of a new curriculum, reevaluation of assessment techniques, or the creation of immersive learning experiences that are only achievable through Attention-Driven Design methodologies as I have written about in my dissertation, and with AI aid.

Universities and their leaders have a vital role to play, she said, working with students and technology providers and making evidence-based decisions whenever they can and data-informed decisions when the evidence is not yet available.
“As educators, innovators and researchers, we need to be very clear what it is that AI can be for,” she said.
AI is already transforming education, Turner pointed out, touching on personalised learning, gamification and assessment.
But there are other more existential questions – for example, Turner said, we need to decide what parts of our lives and jobs we are happy with AI taking on. Universities and their leaders need to envision how AI can really enrich the human experience and how the higher education sector can enable it to be a positive force in the world.
