Striking the Right Balance Between Technology and Human Involvement to Groom the Learners Into Responsible Citizens

Mohammad Haseen Ahmed, Banasthali Vidyapeeth, Rajasthan (India)

Abstract

In recent years, the integration of Artificial Intelligence (AI) into educational technology platforms has sparked both excitement and caution. This paradigm shift in education brings forth a multitude of promises and potential perils that necessitate careful consideration as we navigate this uncharted terrain. While AI has the potential to bring about significant benefits, it also presents several challenges that need to be carefully managed. To fully realize the promise of AI, it's crucial to develop robust ethical guidelines, regulations, and safeguards to mitigate its risks.

It is widely feared that our dependency on AI platforms could undermine certain essential human skills and heavy reliance on technology may diminish creativity, problem-solving abilities, and interpersonal communication skills that are indispensable in the rapidly changing landscape of the modern world.

Undoubtedly, AI has the potential to revolutionize education by enabling personalization, efficiency, and freeing up educators' time, it also introduces concerns about bias, job displacement, ethical dilemmas, and the erosion of vital human skills. The development of critical thinking skills that come from understanding processes and reasoning will certainly take the biggest hit, if we fail to inculcate intuitive discernability and judiciousness which are the hallmark of all the rightful educational pursuits.

If AI takes over tasks like grading and basic instruction, questions arise about the primary and pivotal role of educators and teachers in the classrooms because AI can only facilitate learning, it cannot replace the nuanced interactions, empathy, and mentorship that teachers provide. Striking the right balance between technology and human involvement gets into even more prominence because this wholesale invasion could spell disaster in the proper grooming of the learner into a responsible world citizen.

Evidently data-driven approach empowers educators to tailor their teaching strategies to individual needs, with promising outcomes and engagement, but it must be universally worthwhile
