AI is now touching everything, from Pokemon posts to Facebook to the deep secrets at SpaceX. If Elon Musk thinks he's keeping the NSA AI out of his business, he's not, it is not possible. In short, AI is now touching everything in the electronic medium.
A primary objective of AI is to recognize and steal secrets and creativity, filter them from what is useless, and present everything worth stealing in easy access form to those controlling the AI. But the most prominent use of AI at this time is to have AI listen to public discourse, so that discourse can be manipulated for political gain, trend setting, and profit.
So how would this affect education? The answer to this question is not found within the AI itself, the answer is found in the objectives of those who own the AI. If those who own the AI wanted everyone to be christian, they could quickly gain data that could be used to persuade the population into being more christian. However, if they wanted to use the AI to find ways to convince little boys in school that they are really girls in boy's bodies, and they therefore need to transform into being girls, it could also be easily done. So the effect of AI on education depends solely on how the AI is used.
The decisions AI makes are heavily influenced by the opinions of those who programmed the AI. And if the AI is used to tutor or teach the children, the decisions about what an individual child really needs will become inherent in the software the AI is using and the bias of those who wrote the software, rather than live human input based in first person contact from a human teacher. In other words, because the AI is not actually able to run with the child, laugh with the child, or truly learn the child because it has no real contact with the child, education will become very generic and will carry the bias of the programmers if everything is done as the AI dictates.
Problem: that is exactly what the elite, who rule society from the top down want. The elite want a predictable population that can be manipulated predictably via the administration of uniform education with little individuality. And they will do this while they preach a never ending mantra about diversity and individuality. AI simply cannot accomplish truly diverse outcomes because the opinions of whoever programmed the AI will be evident in every child the AI touches.
And if the AI teaches the children in a way that interferes with the state agenda, the AI will be re-programmed until it does not. In this way, AI threatens to give birth to an easily controlled monoculture, where everyone thinks exactly the same - the complete opposite of individuality.
Another way AI will no doubt impact education is through the use of it to do critical thinking a child should be doing rather than teaching the child to think independently. This could create a new generation of children who are followers of others - children who only do what they are told rather than children who think about what they should actually do. And this is likely a primary objective of those who intend to use AI in education.
AI will also impact education when students use it to write advanced papers, and then those students submit those papers as their own work. Teachers and profesors can, at this time, use Google to discover if the students simply took work off the internet and submitted it as their own. If an AI creates a unique paper for each student on the same topic, such searches won't work anymore, and cheating will never be discovered. In other words, AI could actually destroy education altogether.
I discovered that my opinions stated here are mainstream, here is an article that mimicks (sic) what I have said here quite perfectly, I guess a lot of people are aware of the problems AI could cause in education.
My opinion: AI is going to wreck education no matter how much teachers don't want it to. It will be a useful cheating tool for many, and an individuality destroyer for all. This will happen, it is too late to stop it.
That ends the report, and I am not surprised others are thinking the same. And I also think the extent to which AI wrecks education is going to be literally complete and short term. We have already entered an era where AI is so powerful it will accomplish anything those who control it want it to, and unfortunately, those who control it do not have our best interests in mind.
Our society will only function when the interests of all are considered. If AI is used to put all outcomes in the hands of a few people, according to their will, - people who are corrupt and malignant, - our society will not last more than a decade. We are there, the sh*t is already in the fan.
