Teachers are one of the professions least at risk of being automated. A job that requires emotional intelligence and flexibility — in adapting lesson plans on-the-fly to a particular group of children, for example — is not one particularly well-suited to robots. Artificial intelligence, however, still deserves a role in the classroom. This is not as a replacement for teachers, but as a tool or an assistant that can aid them both in trying to close the gap in achievement between the rich and the poor and in making up for lost teaching time during the pandemic.
教师是被自动化取代风险最小的职业之一。这是一份需要情商和灵活性的工作,例如根据某一群特定的儿童即时调整课程计划,这种工作并不特别适合机器人。然而,人工智能仍然值得在课堂上扮演一个角色。不是作为教师的替代品,而是作为一种工具或助手,一方面帮助教师缩小富孩子和穷孩子之间的学业差距,另一方面弥补疫情期间失去的教学时间。
