Artificial Intelligence (AI) can never replace the human faculty members if a meaningful higher education is desired to be sustainable.

The professional human teacher can, on the spot, detect the points of strength & weakness in the students with a swift modification of the teaching-learning process to become optimal . This action is very difficult, indeed, to be programmed inside AI.

Dear Kalaiarasi V ,

That is a very interesting question. It would be foolish to say that it will never happen, in my opinion. What might be quite alarming and shocking is the proportion of HE faculty members' activities that could be simulated by AI.

Asking a question like this gets us to think about what really is intelligence and how is new knowledge generated.

The only way artificial intelligence, AI, Machine Learning, or robots can replace us is when we refuse not to listen to the dean on integrating technology in our lectures. Don’t be fearful about robots taking our jobs on campus.

AI can be used as a learning /teaching a tools with natural language processing capabilities to interpret unlimited data resources. The technology can extract key terms and compile and analyze that information to perform risk assessments or other functions. In accounting field for example, entire populations or datasets — a large company's leases, for example — can be assessed in a shorter period of time, whereas the samples previously examined by accountants could have taken a lot longer.

Artificial intelligence solutions relate to tasks that can be automated, but cannot be yet envisaged as a solution for more complex tasks of higher learning. It is difficult for supercomputers to educate students for example a skill on creativity in decision making, communication skill, ethics and governance. AI also do not have perform a humour in virtual class and it makes the class very dry. Having a solid basis in data management and a high comfort level with new technologies will give those educators an edge as AI use increases in the field. AI do not replace educators but it is a support to make learning and teaching process more effective and interesting. Just my two cents opinion.

It is known that Artificial Intelligence, applied to all fields of life, moves quickly. Education is not an exception.

There are serious trends studies based on analysis (Big Data) and others that envision us of a horizon that is, to some extent, compromising.

We can not expect the life of the future to occur, in the same contextual conditions in which we live today. Affirmations that, at your time, were true have collapsed.

Speaking in a radical and conclusive way about AI can be risky.

My fundamental concern is that philosophical paradigms do not go hand in hand with technological changes, and in particular with respect to the development of AI.

Such a situation could lead us to think that there is a disagreement between Philosophy and accelerated social change. A certain impossibility of giving a quick and accurate explanation of what is happening. Society needs explanations. Explaining the past will always be easier than explaining the present, even more complicated talking about the future.

In today's schools, there is little talk of the trends of AI development, however students make daily use of that embryonic form of AI based on their mobile phones.

Maybe the transition is happening already, gradually, and we are not aware of it.

There are other elements on the subject in:

Chapter Quality of life and education in the knowledge society

What are the latest advances in the hybridization between nano-intelligent particles and the human brain? https://www.researchgate.net/post/What_are_the_latest_advances_in_the_hybridization_between_nano-intelligent_particles_and_the_human_brain

Is the science we do today contributing to a better understanding of human behavior? https://www.researchgate.net/post/Is_the_science_we_do_today_contributing_to_a_better_understanding_of_human_behavior Is philosophy ready to deal with the drastic changes that the advent of technological singularity presupposes?

More frankly, the present deep state (or the system or the big brother) will never allow (AI) to replace faculty members in higher education institutions. Many persons have been recruited by human scholars, in such institutions, to serve the interests of the powerful agencies or departments or lodges. Human academics can lure a good number of their students, by carrot or stick, to join some sort of affiliation while an (AI) tool will not be viewed as serious by the "rebellious" youth!

If I told you before 200 year ago vaccines will be eradicate smallpox in few decades .y believe that .same story now is happening to conflict question

I wonder what IA would "understand" of that question ???

Some points to start :

- What is IA in this context ? The ability to cope with big data ? The ability to recognise features ? The ability to take decisions ? On which premises ? When ? Who identify the mission, design, develope, operate, make the interpretations, improve ?

- What are the real fonctions of the Faculty members of the higher education institutions ?

I suppose that when a thorough description of the job will be duly performed, the answers could be something like : these parts of the job will be replaced soon by this technics of IA, these ones will be replaced in a medium or far future by such or such IA methods, these will be never replaces, and I suppose that as usual for that kind of conclusion, this last option will be proved wrong as soon as it will be considered as sound !

One thing seems sure to me : far before the job is fully cancelled, if this is going to happen, it will change deeply. It is worth thinking it about how, when and to what extent than just in term of replacement.
