AI in education: Harvard expert makes startling prediction about how schools will change by 2050 due to AI...

AI in education: AI could completely transform our education system in the future. Experts at the Harvard Graduate School of Education believe that in the next 30 years, AI will not only replace traditional methods of teaching but also provide students with a completely new learning experience. Renowned psychologist Howard Gardner and AI expert Anthea Roberts shared their views on the impact of AI on education at the Askwith Education Forum held on Wednesday.

Gardner, an expert on the theory of multiple intelligences, stated that by 2050, students will only learn the basics of reading, writing, mathematics, and a little coding in school. The rest of the education will be structured in a way that teachers will provide guidance and opportunities to pursue students' interests.

The traditional education model may become obsolete.
Gardner also stated that AI is bringing about a historic change in education. According to him, many cognitive functions of the mind, such as discipline, creativity, and analysis, can now be easily performed by AI machines. However, he also clarified that AI can never replace human qualities such as morality and respect.

New Roles for Teachers and Students
Anthea Roberts, visiting professor at Harvard Law School and founder of the AI tool Dragonfly Thinking, said that in the future, students will have to learn to work together with AI. She cited the example of students guiding AI.

Roberts explained that AI has transformed her own research and work. She now constantly communicates with large AI models like GPT, Gemini, and Cloud.

Professor Martin West pointed out during the discussion that more than 10% of conversations on ChatGPT are related to teaching or tutoring, which means that AI is already becoming an integral part of education.

Human Values Will Always Remain Important
Experts made it clear that no matter how drastically AI transforms education, fundamental human values like ethics, critical thinking, and mutual respect will always remain essential. Gardner said that when people look back on this era in the future, it will be considered the biggest transformation in the world of education. Roberts also advised educators to strike a balance in their use of AI, stating that AI should be used in a way that strengthens students' critical thinking and learning abilities, rather than simply making their work easier.
