Advances in artificial intelligence are increasingly transforming the educational landscape, from adaptive learning platforms to automated assessment systems, virtual tutors, and intelligent content recommendation engines. These technologies are capable of providing personalized instruction, immediate feedback, and data-driven insights on student performance, which were traditionally managed by human teachers. While some researchers argue that AI might eventually assume many instructional roles, including curriculum delivery and routine evaluation, others emphasize the irreplaceable value of human teachers in fostering critical thinking, creativity, and socio-emotional development. Furthermore, teaching involves not only transmitting knowledge but also mentoring, motivating, and ethically guiding students—dimensions that are deeply rooted in human interaction and contextual judgment. Given these contrasting perspectives, a key question emerges for the future of education: to what extent could artificial intelligence, within the next fifty years, potentially replace human teachers in educational settings?
