Steven Grubaugh, Greg Levitt
Abstract
The emergence of artificial intelligence (AI) has brought about a transformative revolution in work dynamics and interpersonal interactions, and this technology continues to progress. The accessibility of AI to the general public has exerted a substantial influence on the education sector, necessitating a paradigm shift across various dimensions of schooling, including curriculum design, instructional methods and evaluation techniques, professional development for educators, and collaboration between schools and communities. This article explores the implications of AI on education, identifies the requisite changes to equip students for future employment opportunities, and underscores the role of educators in facilitating this transition. It posits a departure from traditional educational approaches, advocating for an emphasis on fostering creativity, critical thinking, problem-solving skills, and collaborative capabilities.
