The classroom of the future: will we be taught by AI?
In a world where technologies such as artificial intelligence (AI) are developing rapidly, the question arises: will AI be our next teacher? Imagine lecture halls filled with chatbots, robots and holograms giving lectures. Sounds like something out of a science fiction movie, right? Yet this scenario is less far-fetched than it seems, given the speed at which AI is developing. But according to Kim Schildkamp, professor at the University of Twente's ELAN teacher training programme, these technologies will never completely replace our teachers because human relationships are far too important in the classroom.
