Would the advancement of A.I. cause a massive job loss in the education industry?
Yes, I think so. Not only AI but also VR (AR and MR) will affect the massive job loss in the current education industry:

Partially Yes, If AI robot has common sense (smile, happy, eager...). but human-human interaction can not be replaced.

To me, when you say "robots," it need not mean a humanoid machine standing in front of a classroom. The "robot" can also take the form of a tablet, smartphone, or PC. So with that in mind ...
Even without AI, this trend started happening years ago, when I was still in high school. It was called something like "programmed learning." But this was not so much to replace teachers, as it was to get the information across to students more effectively.
I liked it, and still do. We had courses in elementary functions, matrix algebra, and in English too, using this type of presentation. And the scheme is easy to convert into online courses, where the sequence of explanations and exercises are tightly woven together.
However much science advances, we will never have the power to implant the interpersonal relationship between the student and the teacher in machines. Therefore, robots may be additional resources, but the human teacher will never be replaced.
yes i think is can robbot take instead human but see in advances countries that created and is less in non -industries .
A technological revolution tremendous awaits the world in the coming years, where he will lose the teacher role of educational and replaced by intelligent machines ... that the new era of teachers robots will end the students in the classroom gathered until the end of the school year because the nature of the educational robots will enable the student to learn new materials in their homes and not attendance to school every day ... and Sttl_khas teachers in the task of "supervising" the work of robots, as well as to monitor the progress of students in various activities.
Robots may be useful and efficient in anything accept those related to human touches and emotion. Teaching is a a 100% human, emotional, vivid and terribly intimate kind of relation. No room for robots in this business!
Yes, I think with the current trends in AI almost all aspect of our lives will be affected by the robot except for the feelings chip which has not been full programmed.
I would suggest that AI is much needed to optimize learning for individual students. By my calculations, there are no less than 14 learning styles that are really a spectrum, some % tactile, some % auditory, etc. and those would be specific to the subject matter and change over time with the level of knowledge or interest. Teachers can intuit some of this and gather more through analysis but only a computer can objectively without the interference of self interest (I don't want to spend the time on this kid that he/she needs.) A computer on the other collects data, analyzes and adapts constantly offering the precise correct learning exercise for the individual child at the precise right moment. The problem with that: What does the child want? What are the parents expectations? How does the subjective enter into the discussion when an AI is educating.
Here is the way I see it: The first tier of education is about basic skills about which there is no discussion or disagreement. This is a game on an iPad or similar tool distributed by government to every child. As the child advances in these basic skills, he/she levels up until the second tier of learning is achieved. The second tier is the synthesis and problem solving stage. Again this is carried by game to students who promote levels until they reach a third tier. The third tier is about teamwork and completing projects. In much the same way as corporate culture functions, a group is assigned to carry out a project. Imagine building the Brooklyn Bridge. Using aspects of every skill set you have learned from psychology to metallurgy, chemistry, physics, procurement, project management, team building, etc. you build in a simulated environment the brooklyn bridge. Then you take a field trip to see the real thing.
I don't see the need for a robot to replace teachers. It should be sufficient to provide an interactive online tutorial which could include video to meet the instructive side. Also, robots as teachers doesn't address the need for physical materials behind teaching/training (hands-on materials for the student to actually try what is being taught), though this doesn't apply to some fields of study.
Of course, this is all out the window when addressing some disabilities, and it also assumes a self-motivated student. I don't see how a robot could substitute for these exceptions, though there might be a niche for robot-teachers.
The use of robots in education has been in place for several years and is steadily expanding, as many previous research studies have shown. Robots are used in the learning process as aids to teach some concepts in science and technology, such as programming.
All of us should consider that teachers are a huge variable in education. There are amazing teachers and teachers who are not that. We all have this experience. Curriculum can be replicated. Activities can be targeted to specific learning styles, but when you bring a teacher into this, you introduce a further variable. Just like students have an individual learning style, teachers have an individual teaching style. They are good at some things and not at other. Have you ever had a history teacher who delivered facts but couldn't tell a story to save their life? Ugh, dates! An AI, a narrator, a documentary can make this information much more memorable.
I see the role of a teacher changing. Think of a learning coordinator or facilitator. The AI, using the largest metatagged collection of activities, topics and information (think Google on steroids without the porn), would direct students individually to topics which they need to either meet minimum standards or enhance learning in interest areas. Imagine also that the AI learns about the student and is able to bring them information or activities which interests them. Consider the Amazon shopping tool. "You bought X and Y, you'll also like Z." The AI is a life long learning companion.
So what does the teacher do? Again, I'm calling this person a learning facilitator. In a group session the LF will moderate disagreements, place students into leadership roles, teaching socialization, team work, problem solving, and leadership. As an overall facilitator, the LF will provide materials, manage the classroom budget and perform administrative tasks necessary to run the program.
I've spent a lot of time thinking about this. It's not a fully fleshed out idea, but it's getting there.
Thank you all for your insightful contributions. Robots here does not mean humanoids, but advanced A.I. intelligence than can interact with students through tablets or electronic boards. I strongly believe that A.I. taking over our class rooms would bring about more efficient and cost effective learning.
That's a very good Qs....but we should always remember that there is something great that happens as a result of teacher-student interactions that can not be filled by robot....so to answer the Ad Chances are very high...but they will be met with great resistance.
No, because robots lack the empathy and ability to inspire that teachers bring to the classroom.
I think it will just open more possibilities, lets remember all these is human inventions, the more we use the technology the more we find solutions to our existing problems, all these idea starts from academic industry so i see no replacement rather than being used as tools to improve and solve our daily problems
I don't think so. However Artificial intelligence may change the education programs, but the students are not affected only by listening and attending to teacher(A.I or human). They are taught by teacher's treatment, mimics,... . the students would like to follow the aim of a selected teachers in his/her scientific life. They want to make better ways or want to revise the existed ways of better life. A.I can not support all of them. I think, if the education industry goes to A.I.-based teacher, it would return to human-based teacher with a heavy experience.
Roborts may help in learning process up to some extent. But teacher student relationship, bound can not be form with machines which is very importent for teaching- learning. Therefore, the human teacher will not be replaced by roborts.
In the current scenario, to replace a human teacher with a robot is not possible. But robots can assist teachers with lots of activities. The Human creatures are having a great capacity of memory, ability to deal with emotion and five senses to work with the environment. The humans can run, walk, swim, climb and many other actions. We have the capabilities to react quickly to a particular action or event. Then the question is, can robots do all the above mentioned things? The answer is yes!. But There is no single robot, which can do all the above tasks. But there are robots able to do some tasks. One of the important communication that will happen between teacher and student is non-verbal communication. Non-verbal communication includes facial expressions, the tone and pitch of the voice and gestures displayed through body language. The current robots are very far to achieve good non-verbal communication
For the robot I have already express my views sometime back as follows
Robot is a mechanical device , carrying out his performance with the devices created in robot which he merely carries out his work with the help of only his electronic function . Just as human beings he has no head, mind & brain to carry out his function independently & as such robot cannot be compared with any Human beings
This is my personal opinion
May help but not be replaced. The time and responsibilities that put on it may be increased in future .

Teachers can't be replaced by Robots in classroom for effective results.
l think, the improvements of teaching and learning methods in education and the ability of the lecturers' adaptation to these improvements will determine whether AI replace teachers.
The emergence of technological tools has indubitably improved the principles of teaching / learning processes and has opened up new vistas before teachers in order to facilitate the process of the so called serendipity learning for students. However, the humanism involved in the teaching / learning acts highlights the importance of collaborative and directive engagement which cannot be ever emulated by most advanced technological gadgets such as robots.
teachers will never be replaced by robots. Simply put: Robots won't replace teachers because they can't inspire us. ... I
STEM education programs focusing on science and technology is one step. Focusing on soft skills such as creativity is another. Life-long learning programs to up-skill regularly, and vocational training that emphasizes working with robots are also important steps governments can take to prepare workers to move their jobs up-market.
Robots may be additional resources, but the human teacher will never be replaced. Sometimes it is necessary to show the feelings in the class, which the robots do not have.
Education is not just about the acquisition of knowledge, it is about relationships and the shaping young minds.A true teacher does not just impart facts;he or she creates a thirst for knowledge and teaches students how to quench that thirst.Teachers also inspire studentsto think for themselves and to innovate new solutions, something that Robots cannot do.
May be that days also might come. The technology is advancing day by day. Artificial intelligence and robotics are used now in industries.
People should be taught by people. Otherwise, it will be humanoids with AI.
teaching and learning processes are already being supplemented by AI (not robot, many other forms, mostly computers) but can never replace human
May be it possible, because making an intelligent robot will be easy but presence of mind, do not know.
I think now at present and in future also the robots will or cannot replace a teacher. Teacher in physical is must and should be in the class and the technology (artificial intelligence and robots) can be used for demonstration and understanding. Students follows mother, father and then teacher. If the basic thing is turned to artificial called robot, then everything will be gone out of control. Moreover, robot is a machine and has no feelings. This is to remember that teacher always expresses his/ her feelings to teach.
Robots are likely to discharge the functions of the middle class more, and this is what is known as Moravec's paradox. This was a discovery by AI experts in the 1980s that robots find difficult things easy and easy things easy
